    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Alírio started her career as a DJ in 2019 in Uberlândia, a small town in Minas Gerais - Brazil. Head behind the BAILE034 collective, she produced parties, balls and other cultural activities, promoting ballroom culture, which was rising at the time in Brazil. In 2021, she moved to São Paulo and since then has been conquering dance floors across the country. With ability to create narratives through DJ sets always full of energy, she goes through different musical genres, exploring femininity through sensual and complex beats. Her musical research highlights sounds produced by dissident artists, mainly from Latin America. In 2022, Alírio unpretentiously began the production of mashups and bootlegs, some of them became club anthems, such as the first collaboration with Guza in Unique Tribal, earning the duo an invitation to participate in the remix album of the brazilian band Noporn (Adoro Djs), celebrating 20 years of career and other collections from national and international labels such as Choccy Biccy (UK), Volquete (AR), AUX1 (ES) and TTT (BR). In 2024, the multidisciplinary label Tandera Records was born in partnership with the artists Bassan, Guza, Lady Letal and Tuxe, a platform to release music, mixes (with monthly episodes on the brazilian radio function.fm) and production of visual art. Alírio is resident of the brazilian underground parties Mamba Negra (SP), Versa (SP), Buero (SP) and already performed at prominent parties and clubs such as Baile em Chernobyl (SP/Berlin), Deseo (AR), Kode (RJ), NBOMB (PE), Silicose (MG) and Atrita (CE). This year she will make her debut in Europe at the Mamba Negra's showcase at the Whole festival (Germany) along with Cashu in August.

    the whole biography
    Argentinian DJ and producer, Tayhana, has established herself, in a short period of time, as one of the most relevant and promising figures in the club scene around the world. Self-taught by her experience as a founder of one of the most radical parties in South America that revalued the original music of the continent, she is recognized as a central figure in the Club Latinx genre. Thanks to her aggressive way of playing, a fearless imagination mixing different rhythms, BPMs and a wide range of experimental sounds from Latin America, but mostly because of her creative capacity as a producer and a beatmaker to push the boundaries of what has been possible in the encounter of urban and traditional music from all over the continent, she has called the attention of artists such as Rosalía, Daniela Lalita, Mare Advertencia Lírica, Gaika, among many others producers and well known DJs in the industry. Currently based in México, she has been part of the record label N.A.A.F.I, with whom she released her first albúm “Tierra del Fuego”, with great acceptance and broad recognition by the specialized media in the electronic music scene. The impact of this singular approach to club music gave her the chance to be booked in extensive tours around Europe, Asia and all over Latin America. Over the last few years she has played in a wide range of the most relevant festivals that embrace club culture such as Primavera Sound, Lollapalooza (ARG), Mutek (USA), Unsound (POL), Festival Estereo Picnic (CO), Festival Ceremonia (MX), SXSW (TX) and also institutions like MoMA Ps1 (NY-USA) among many others. Recently, Tayhana’s work as a music producer and a beatmaker, has been selected and recognized in large scale productions by artists such as GAIKA and ROSALÍA, for whom she produce the beat “CUUUUUuuute” for her world acclaimed latest album “Motomami”, being the only female producer involved on the record that would win ‘Best Alternative Album’ at the GRAMMY Awards and ‘Album of the Year’ at the LATIN GRAMMYS Awards. But also, she has been invited as a producer in the original soundtrack of WAKANDA FOREVER, one of the latest blockbuster movies of MARVEL, next to the artist Foudeqush with the song “Con la brisa”. In the past decade, the relevance of her work has not only inspire the multiplication and emergence of differents clubs centered in electronic music from Latin America, but also a broad number of producers and djs, specially females, opening a new kind of recognition to the beautiful complexity of the sound of Latinx culture.
