their own biography
the whole biography
Papi Weli was raised in a community where Baile Funk, Pagode, and Samba can be heard all day at every corner. This helped shape his DJ career which started in 2014. He has been heard on many stages in New York such as Apollo Theater, Baby's All Right, Bossa Nova, Brooklyn Monarch, Chocolate Factory, Elsewhere, Kinfolk, SOB's, Sonny Hall, The Sultan Room, Trans-Pecos, and more. He has also played in cities including São Paulo, Boston, Philadelphia, San Francisco and D.C. In addition to his large knowledge of Baile Funk culture, Papi Weli is not afraid of mixing different music genres and featuring newly released music during his sets. He is always focused on lifting up the energy on the dance floor. Outside of the booth, he has also modeled for brands such as Adidas, Willy Chavarria, and Materiel Supply. He has also starred in campaigns for Major League Soccer, Red Bull New York and Goma Studios. Papi Weli is also the heart behind the creative production of Foreign Posse, a crew formed by immigrants and first generation Americans.Recently at Pianos, Mood Ring, SOBs · often with Powla, Ianko, Meia Noite, none of them here that night

the whole biography
Massachusetts born and Brooklyn based artist, producer and audio engineer Sophie Sawaya MacArthur, better known as Swaya, has spent a lifetime exploring the possibilities of storytelling and meaning making through sound. Raised by Brazilian and American parents, she spent her childhood studying violin before becoming disillusioned by the lack of creativity classical studies offered. She found her musical home on the internet becoming obsessed with hardcore punk, hip hop and experimental electronic music. A graduate of Communications Studies at Concordia University, she spent 5 years in Montreal where she was an active member of the music scene, performing her music at MUTEK, Pop Montreal, Slut Island, Never Apart, Datcha and more. Since she began posting her music online in 2016, Swaya has released 5 EPs and countless tracks, edits and mixes, consistently pushing and reinventing herself with each release. Beyond her personal artistic work Swaya is also an established producer and audio engineer, currently working with Brooklyn producer Tony Seltzer at his studio Seltzer Sounds. She has worked with the likes of Zelooperz, Babyxsosa, Key!, Hawa, Marti, Mercury, Michael Christmas, Magella and more.Their RA profile lists Purple Tape Pedigree, Tobago Tracks, s.M.i.L.e. and Ultra Rare.Recently at Mood Ring, Bossa Nova Civic Club, Honey's · often with Battygyal, Jetty, Pauli Cakes, none of them here that night

Oakland’s Lil Zé (@aquanettalashangelaboo) arrived from space bringing along with them sounds from across the universe and the African and Black diaspora. Heavy drums, vocal chants, loud energy, are both the destination and the journey - making it impossible not to move to her genre-defying music history lessons. Catch her mixing on Lower Grand Radio, Fault Radio or listen back to her mixes for NTS, Dublab, Cult Classic, Balamii Radio.Recently at Earthly Delights, Mood Ring, Mad Tropical · often with Powla, Ianko, Meia Noite, none of them here that night
