    The short-story version of Kim Ann Foxman’s trajectory is pretty simple: An island-born kid dreams of a life in clubland, hits the big city and, with a little bit of luck and a lot of hard work, emerges as one of dance music’s leading figures. But it’s the details that transforms her singular tale into something far more fascinating than the standard-issue success story. After all, what other DJ can lay claim to the title of Miss Teen Filipina Hawaii? How many can say that their first job in nightlife was when in high school, serving as the in-house dancer and serving rave smoothies at an all-ages club?  How many, after moving to New York by way of San Francisco in the early ’00s, can say that they helped to rejuvenate the city’s then-stale nightlife via her residency at one of the best parties ever held in a hole-in-the-wall gay bar, the Mad Clams affair? How many have tasted stardom as one of the original members of  the scene-making dance-music collective Hercules and Love Affair?   Exactly one, and it’s Kim Ann. But it’s a safe bet that she would have made it to where she is today without those biographical eccentricities, because her near-classical take on jacking club rhythms is hard to resist, sounding as fantastic at a full-scale mega-rave as it does at a grimy basement bash. It’s a universally appealing sound that’s taken her around the world—the past few years have seen her playing such hallowed halls as Fabric, Berghain, DC-10, Concrete and Contact, all while holding down a residency at her hometown’s Good Room.   A lifetime in clubbing has informed Kim Ann’s studio work as well, with her music—much of it coming out on her own Firehouse label—synthesizing the best elements of raw house, propulsive 303 material, emotive techno and even the occasional hint of trance into a hugely satisfying whole that lives somewhere between the weird and the wonderful. And then there’s her latest project, Pleasure Planet, which sees her teaming with Andrew Potter and Brian Hersey to add sparkling touches of extraterrestrial new wave to  the mix on her new sublabel, self:timer. It’s yet another twist in the continuing saga of Kim Ann Foxman—and, we’d wager, there are plenty more to come. Bio Written By Bruce Tantum

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    After over a decade in in NYC nightlife, Papa has been quietly making a name for himself in the Brooklyn underground as a DJ for the past few years. Known for his versatility and a no-limits approach to DJing, Papa eschews normal genre boundaries in his sets and brings high octane energy to every club. He has made the rounds at some of NY's most beloved clubs - including Elsewhere, Le Bain, Black Flamingo, Nightmoves & Baby's All Right - and shines on his home court, Good Room. Where Papa has truly taken creative reigns and built a community of dancers, friends & artists, is through his DIY party Terrazza. Taking a Brooklyn backyard and transforming it into a haven for music that has a purpose, Terrazza brings together DJs from all different corners of Brooklyn & greater NY nightlife. The result is a proper, long-format day-into-night ripper that has been growing since its inception in 2024. Papa strives with every appearances to challenge listeners while introducing them to music they might have never heard, drawing from a wide swath of influences - including 90s progressive house, 80s new wave, NY & Detroit techno, & Italian house. The ultimate goal is always an engaged and active dance floor full of diverse and happy bodies!
