  Electric is the only way to describe Andi’s sets. The NYC-based DJ, producer, and SYNTHICIDE label/party boss constructs a dynamic and intoxicating flow that’s always palpable between the walls of the foggy, neon-lit dancefloor. Parts sleaze and sultry, Andi’s aesthetic is body music based, thriving on the delivery of the groove and the bombastic highs of a track’s apex. As a devotee of distinct sounds such as EBM, new beat, Italo, freestyle and housey 90s elements, her sets reflect her deep vinyl collection: diverse, yet focused, and completely one-of-a-kind. Her own productions aim to challenge the expectations within the confines of traditionally masculine dance genres. With bassline-heavy grooves and a conceptual emphasis on storytelling with samples taken from long-forgotten erotic thrillers and seedy sci-fi films, Andi adds a wry yet delicate touch to machine music. As the boss of SYNTHICIDE—the internationally known party, label and event series—Andi has cultivated the dark underground scene for over a decade in Brooklyn. SYNTHICIDE started at the notorious club in Bushwick, Bossa Nova Civic Club, where the party still holds a monthly residency. Additionally, Andi is a resident at The Lot Radio and NYC’s Gabriela.

  the whole biography

  Shaped by her path from Bogotá, Colombia, to San Juan, Puerto Rico, and now New York City, Bana’s sound creates space for feeling and release through deep, immersive textures and deep-groove rhythms. Each set is carefully curated to invite introspection, connection, and movement, drawing inspiration from labels like Studio Barnhus and Kompakt. Traces of her Colombian and Caribbean heritage shape her rhythmic sensibility, adding warmth and pulse to her sonic language. Ana Maria, artistically known as Bana, is a New York–based DJ, visual artist, and co-founder of Audio Studio, a creative collective launched alongside Marco Araneda. With a background in art direction and design, she approaches music as narrative—merging sound and visual storytelling to craft intimate, emotionally driven experiences on and beyond the dancefloor.
