    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Lauren Flax has been a lifelong musician, starting to play the drums at 8 years old before continuing on to guitar and bass in high school. She began her DJ career in the underground dance and rave scenes of Detroit as a resident at the Motor Lounge, playing every Tuesday night along with resident DJs Mike Servito, DJ Dilemma, Jason Kendig, and Derek Plaslaiko. Flax played the very first Detroit Electronic Music Festival in 2000 on the Motor stage. While originally starting off as a jungle DJ, Flax evolved her style into a variety techno, house, and electro music. Flax moved to Chicago in 1999, where she honed in on music production while continuing to DJ. By 2002, she relocated again to Manhattan, which shortly followed the release of her first remix, "Much Finer" for Le Tigre. In 2018, Flax was introduced to DJ Haus by fellow Detroit musician and friend Jimmy Edgar, to which he quickly signed a record, resulting in "Dance Trax Vol. 16" (2018). In 2019, Flax joined the mostly Detroit-born New York collective The Bunker New York,[1] on which she released "One Man’s House is Another Woman’s Techno EP" (2019). The EP was highly successful and sold out quickly. Flax met with Brooklyn-based record label 2MR in 2019, curious to explore beyond the realm of dance music. She remixed 'Breathe' by label-mate Pale Blue, and that ended up inspiring Flax's new style of music. After the remix was released, Flax took to writing a 6 track EP, merging genres of ambient, acid house, and much more, set to come out in Summer 2021. Flax started touring the United States and Europe as a solo artist in 2019, performing live analog sets, pushing the boundaries of what a DJ is defined as.

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Navid, known as Navbox, is an NYC-based DJ, producer, and passionate music curator from Iran. Born in Tehran, he moved to the U.S. with his family to escape the regime that imprisoned his father for most of his childhood. His deep roots in music began when he started playing piano at the age of four, which shaped his musical path forward. Navbox started DJing in the early 2000s, mastering his craft in Boston's underground scene while studying at university. Later he presented shows under Stranger Than Paradise (STP) in Washington, DC, which became a key platform for the city’s electronic music culture. He played a major role in shaping the scene in DC in a nascent period, curating countless shows over a decade and playing alongside the likes of Zip, Sonja Moonear, Delano Smith, Thomas Melchior, Cassy, DJ Qu, DJ Three, Danny Tenaglia, N/UM and many more. He has performed internationally at iconic venues like Hoppetosse and Club der Visionaere in Berlin, Output in New York, Fábrica De Arte in Havana, and the desert of Egypt. Blending minimal and rhythmic sounds with a deep respect for the roots and future of electronic music, he has little care for genres: focusing on good music alone. Fusing downtempo to minimal and house, and moving to the harder sounds of techno, there is a time and place for every sound. In addition to DJ’ing, he spends his time organizing shows under Respekt Music. These are opportunities to share his love for music and sound systems in various contexts and environments, further expanding his journey in sound across a wide spectrum of musical experiences. He joins the ReSolute NY team of resident DJ’s in the Spring of 2025.

    the whole biography
    An Italian born cosmopolitan, Camilla has roamed the globe for over six years, fueled by her father’s legacy in Italy’s progressive rock scene. From Cuneo, her hometown, to Brooklyn,where she now resides, her DJ journey has embraced diverse communities, including the vibrant scenes of Turin, Lisbon, Boston, and particularly New York and Brooklyn. Camilla has performed in various clubs and parties in New York and worldwide, including the likes of Resolute, Public Records, Elsewhere, Sunday Sessions LA and Harbour in Lisbon. Oscillating between classic old-school records and cutting edge sounds, her sets (mostly on vinyl) encompass diverse styles of electronic music including house, techno, electro and breaks. Overall, her journeys tend to be spacey and acid-heavy, leaning into bass-driven, uplifting beats when the time is right. In 2021, Camilla launched Encrypted, a celebrated event series in New York. Encrypted parties cherish intimate locations and a welcoming atmosphere, long DJ sets and international bookings paired with local talent. Artists booked include Giammarco Orsini, Anderson, Cristian Sarde, Unai Trotti and Matthias. This project is pawing the way for an upcoming record label, coming in the near future. Thanks to the unwavering dedication to her craft, Camilla hopes to continue to inspire music enthusiasts worldwide by challenging her ever-evolving creativity, unique energy, and cosmopolitan spirit.

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Sean Sato is a rising biracial artist in the local scene of Brooklyn and a devout follower of deeply emotive music catered to the club. After a fateful experience at a gritty underground club in his home town of Shizuoka, Japan at the age of fifteen, Sato began investigating DJ culture and studied a variety of techniques from turning EQ nobs to juggling beats. Having completed a handful of gigs in Tokyo, Sato moved to upstate New York in 2014 where he received a BA in Music Industry and later released an EP via DJ Pierre’s Afro Deep imprint. 
 Now based in Brooklyn, Sato cuts his teeth as a local DJ, producer and key member of a major independent venue. Notably, Sato has served the dance floors of Elsewhere, Mood Ring, Good Room and Jupiter Disco, and has shared the stage with renowned figures such as Bonobo, Kamaal Williams, Starchild and the New Romantic, Paperboy Love Prince, DJ Monchan, Perel, and more.
