  their own biography

  the whole biography

  Masha Mar is a Serbian-born, Los Angeles-based DJ and producer whose musical vision spans Chicago and New York house, cosmic disco, and left-field rarities. Equally at home on festival stages and in the sweat of an intimate club, she moves between worlds effortlessly. Each set feels like its own journey, never the same trip twice. Her radio presence reflects the same range: a long-running residency on NTS Radio with Beyond the Clouds explores the softer, more celestial end of her record collection, while her residency on dublab traces the full arc of dance music's past and present. Both are windows into the restless curiosity that drives everything she does. As a producer, Masha works with a small arsenal of classic machines — the Roland 808 and Juno-60 are constants — and has built a discography across Nervous Records, SOS, Night Prism, and beyond. Her debut EP Virgil's Dream moved fluidly between Italo, house, and dub; her latest, Cherry Cherry, marks a bolder step into floor-focused territory, her sound still evolving and sharpening. Community-building has been just as central to her practice as the music itself. In 2014, she co-founded Dig Deeper LA with Alison Swing — a foundational event series in the Los Angeles underground that brought artists like DJ Sprinkles, K-Hand, Daniele Baldelli, Lena Willikens, and Axel Boman to the city. More recently, she and Heidi Lawden launched Take It Outside, a grassroots femme and queer-friendly series spotlighting international & LA based queer, and female DJs.

  the whole biography

  Lovie's musical discovery began in the digital music age: a young lover of local radio and after-school MTV marathons, her early mixes took shape in the form of burned CDs she made for her friends. After relocating from her hometown of Washington, D.C. to New York in 2020, Lovie's unique selection of soulful, spiritual music swiftly ushered her into New York's local music scene. At the taste-making Brooklyn radio station, Lot Radio, she gave birth to her homey platform, summer school radio. For five years Lovie's radio mixes—now being offered as one of the station's few weekly residencies—have thumbed through the intimate corners of her music collection. She saunters through slow-groove disco, dusty '70s funk and groovy '80s jazz at a studied pace that makes it easy to marvel at every timeless chime, trill, and drum beat. She's as tempted by the bedroom pop of Clairo as much as the cosmic funk of Lonnie Liston Smith. Outside the Lot, Lovie presents summer school radio as soothing listening sessions around Brooklyn, providing warm balms for city fatigue with artists like alt-jazz harpist muva of Earth and New Age legend Laraaji. As co-founder of Soul Connection with long-time friend and collaborator, Honey Bun, she imbues the power of friendship and Black femme empowerment into sumptuous house music and '90s R&B spun with the patience and musicality associated with the East Coast house tradition. Connecting the mind, to the body, to the soul, her club sets inspire the warmest, most community-minded dance floors you'll find in the city. Her diligence to the craft, musical curiosity, and deep focus on the listening experience earned her a spot on Mixmag's Top 25 Breakthrough DJs of 2024. She now holds a coveted residency at Brooklyn club public records, and has played at art centers like MoMA, Brooklyn Academy of Music and The Beacon Theater, where she opened for Kamasi Washington. Her work has also brought her to international gigs at Paris's Djoon, London's Spiritland, and more. Whether playing on her stomping grounds or rocking dance floors overseas, Lovie creates honey-sweet dance floor memories you'll want to replay again and again.
