their own biography
the whole biography
Justin's coming-of-age as a fan and creator of dance music took place amidst the wide expanses of central Illinois. As a kid growing up in the state’s tucked-away capital of Springfield, he played drums as a jazz percussionist in school. While most of his peers were tuned into pop music, Justin was wearing out self-made mixes and classic disco compilations, workshopping new-wave influenced beats in bands and DJing college parties. A post-graduation move to Chicago led him to work for the influential dance music blog Little White Earbuds, opening him up to fully experience the city’s thriving underground house and techno scene. A Midwest-born and raised DJ, Justin has played at queer parties such as Wrecked, The Carry Nation, Horse Meat Disco, Honcho, and Club Toilet, and has gained a following all over the world with appearances at clubs like Smartbar Chicago, Panorama Bar, Is Burning Amsterdam, Razzmatazz Barcelona, DC10 and Lux Fragil. His bold, acid-flecked distillation of house and techno has found a home on the labels that are helping to shape the current landscape of transgressive body music, including The Bunker New York, Detroit’s Interdimensional Transmissions, and Honey Soundsystem Records. Justin's sound is defined by snaking acid lines, whip smart drums and offbeat rave melodies that have resonated with DJs and dancers from Detroit to Berlin. He has been featured in mixes for series such as Beats In Space, Truants, MixMag, Phantasy and The Bunker New York’s long-running podcast.Techno on 23, House on 20, Tech House on 10 and Acid on 9. styles on their catalogued releasesReleased on Acid For Trans Health (1), Spotlight Records (1) and The Night Institute (1); their RA profile also lists Turbo Recordings, Hotflush Recordings, Interdimensional Transmissions, Phonica White and 6 more. labels on their catalogued releases and on their RA profileRecently at Paragon, public records, Libera · often with Mike Servito, Jeffrey Sfire, Kim Anh, none of them here that night

Someone From Berlin is a New York based selector whose mission is to create engaging and accessible sonic spaces for the queer community. With a range that spans house subgenres and touches the edges of dark disco and techno, SFB’s sets are structured around creating a momentum that builds from start to finish. They are the curator behind UltraMaroon, a brand with roots in the historically queer Fire Island Pines, which has grown into a monthly event series in New York City that creates inclusive, house music centered events across Manhattan and Brooklyn. You can most regularly catch Someone From Berlin at UltraMaroon events in NYC, but they have also guested at other spaces in LA, Europe, and the Pines.Recently at Blue Midtown, Musica Club NYC, The Chocolate Factory · often with Anthony Velez, IPOK, Sainte Francis, none of them here that night
“Ben Wild is a NYC-based DJ, producer and promoter whose sets explore the breadth of house music.”

the whole biography
Ben Wild is a NYC-based DJ, producer and promoter whose sets explore the breadth of house music. His grooves — deep, dark, afro, tech, jackin’, disco, and organic — are always tuned to the unseen current that moves through bodies and binds us in rhythm. He started DJing at 19 and by 22 had opened Halcyon, Brooklyn’s iconic record shop and hangout described by Time Out as “The beating heart of NYC's underground club scene.” 2025 marks Ben’s 30th year behind the decks. From New York landmarks like Output, Sony Hall, and House of Yes to international stages in London, Medellín, Madrid, and beyond, Ben conjures experiences that are both ecstatic and grounding. A resident at DISCONNECT, Leg Up on Life, Burning Man and Fire Island’s Meat Rack, he sees the dance floor as more than a party — it’s an ancient ritual. For millennia, we’ve gathered to dance to the drum; Ben’s sets carry that sacred pulse forward, offering the chance to remember, to connect, and to move together as one.Last at House of Yes in Jan · often with Morabito, autogyro, Clinton Foster, none of them here that night
