A sonic architect of deep, hypnotic grooves, Oshana blurs the lines between house and techno with a fusion of raw energy, intricate percussion, and futuristic soundscapes. Whether behind the decks or commanding the stage live, her sound is immersive, dynamic, and unmistakably hers. Rooted in the Midwest’s underground scene, she channels the spirit of late ‘90s/early 2000s dance floors—where rhythm reigned supreme. Since her breakout in 2012, she’s dropped heat on Fabric, shaped labels like Partisan and Pillz, and launched her own imprint, Psionic. From Robert Johnson and Concrete to Resolute, ADE, Off-Sonar, and Epizode, Oshana has left her mark on some of the world’s most iconic dance floors. Her DJ sets are an energetic, smooth, and seamless journey through emotionally intelligent selections, while her live performances hit with full-force momentum—built for both sweaty basements and festival mainstages. No gimmicks, no filler—just pure, magnetic rhythm.Their RA profile lists Partisan, Psionic, Altered Circuits and Pillz.often with Kiyoshi, EREZ.JPG, CAMILLA, none of them here that night

the whole biography
Born and raised in west suburban Chicagoland, Shaun J. Wright spent most of their teen years immersed in the sounds of house music. In the late 80’s and early 90’s, house music was a powerful force, permeating the mainstream airwaves of Chicago’s most prominent radio stations. With Wright being raised in the epicenter of house culture during this era, their love for dance music began to expand throughout their high school years as they partook in the underground dance scene now globally known as Juke. While in undergrad at Morehouse College in Atlanta, they developed their skills as a dancer in the vogue ballroom scene and professional dance companies. After acquiring an MA Fashion Curation from the London College of Fashion, Wright enjoyed an active career in fashion in New York City. That is where they met Andrew Butler, founder of Hercules and Love Affair, in 2008, and began a whirlwind collaboration with the ensemble as a vocalist. They spent nearly three years touring with the outfit, performing in major venues & festivals throughout North & South America and Europe. They’re also featured prominently on the ensemble’s lauded sophomore album, “Blue Songs’. Returning to Chicago in 2012 to forge their solo career, Wright began to collaborate with respected DJ and producer Alinka. Promptly after beginning their party Twirl in the spring of 2013, Wright & Alinka released their first EP, Twirl Vol. 1, on the celebrated Classic Music Company led by luminaries Luke Solomon and Derrick Carter. They continued to expand upon the brand in late 2014 with their Twirl Records debut release “Journey Into The Deep” EP which included remixes from Kim Ann Foxman and Stereogamous. The label’s output has received much critical acclaim and has been supported by DJ Mag, XLR8R, Mixmag, BBC Radio 1’s Heidi and Annie Mac, and a plethora of notable DJ’s. Wright continues to collaborate with other sought after producers including Chrissy, Kiki, System Of Survival, Stereogamous Bell Boys, Bobmo, and Nicholas, and has been released on Freerange, BPitch Control, Honey Soundsystem & Cocktail D’Amore, Discovery, Marble, and 4Lux, respectively. Wright steadily exhilarates dance floors internationally as a DJ weaving live vocals throughout their sets in locations as far and varied as: Sydney, Berlin (Panorama Bar), London, Auckland, Stockholm, Barcelona, NYC, Los Angeles and his hometown of Chicago (Smart Bar).House on 53, Deep House on 34, Tech House on 21 and Techno on 7. styles on their catalogued releasesReleased on .FREQLINK (1), Black Artist Database (1) and Leftroom (1); their RA profile also lists Defected Records, Classic, BPitch, Freerange Records and 6 more. labels on their catalogued releases and on their RA profileRecently at Nowadays, BASEMENT, Paragon · often with Mike Servito, cotton, LYDO, none of them here that night
