    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Born and raised in Armenia, Viktor Vardanyan, known as Vard. (formerly Vrdnyn), discovered his passion for music at a young age. Influenced by legends like Barry White, Michael Jackson, and Jamiroquai, he began playing piano at seven and has been blending soul and electronic elements ever since. As a producer, he’s crafted records for rising artists such as Riovaz, Kanii, and Alyzée, while developing his own signature sound in house music. His breakout single Shoreditch cemented his deep house roots, earning him a rapidly growing audience and over 700,000 monthly listeners on Spotify. In November 2024, Vard. made his DJ debut at Elsewhere’s Zone One, delivering a dynamic two-and-a-half-hour set to 200 people. The success of that night fueled his passion for DJing, leading to more shows in New York, Miami, and Houston, with his first international performance coming in November at London’s iconic Jazz Cafe. Vard. is eager to connect with his evolving fanbase on more new dance floors around the world.

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    NYC based Lee Cash is a curator and DJ known for her playful, high-energy and genre-bending sets. Hailing from the West Coast, her sound is deep and visceral. Thick basslines, heavy percussion, seductive synths, and a nod to Balearic reverie that speaks to somewhere else entirely. She moves comfortably across worlds: the sleazy and the sublime, the floaty and the frenzied, rave euphoria to driving progressive and tech house grooves. With a soft spot for the 90s and the early '00s, her sets drift between atmospheric dreaminess and loud, demanding release. She never shies away from ripping it wide open and getting a little weird. Her groove-heavy sets are iconically cheeky and make letting loose feel irresistible. She holds a residency at Good Room and has notably played The Lot Radio and Public Records.
