Who they are
“Originally from Philadelphia, Michael Baltra discovered his love of dance music in New York.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Originally from Philadelphia, Michael Baltra discovered his love of dance music in New York. The raves he lost his mind at in the Meatpacking District took him towards DJing, then production, fascinated by the emotion he could evoke in the listener. Debuting with ‘The Vision’ in 2014, his dusty drums and ‘80s-era vocals quickly brought him a wide fanbase. Baltra’s work within the genres of lo-fi and filter house, though, inevitably led to him being boxed into those genres. He’s always shrugged off any pigeonholing, as his production shows he moves mercurially through dubstep, jungle, electro, ambient and beyond – releasing on labels including Local Action, Shall Not Fade and Future Classic. Alongside forthcoming EPs for Keinemusik’s sub-label VOD and Rinse FM, Baltra is dedicatedly building up his '96 and Forever' label. Through it he self-released his debut album, 2019’s Ted – a work dedicated to his late father, who passed away from cancer. His dad had been a keen songwriter, and Baltra sampled his work on the record, which was praised for its engulfing melodies and euphoric synth washes. Already a prolific releaser, this year sees a concerted effort by Baltra to unveil his most forward-thinking music yet. Singles ‘Echoes of Us’ fuses tunneling psych with euphoria, while ‘Twisted Ways’ darts between nifty synths and a scuttling low-end bassline.Their RA profile lists Future Classic, Ghostly International, Mad Decent, Hotflush Recordings and 6 more.Recently at Market Hotel, Paragon, Earthly Delights · often with Physical Therapy, Cosmo, Swami Sound, none of them here that night

their own biography
the whole biography
His dynamic and diverse sets have captivated audiences for over a decade. He draws from early experiences in the underground community that once thrived in dusty warehouses and under-the-radar message boards to craft a style that moves seamlessly between deep and soulful house to ravey, broken beat and bass-heavy. Quantreau has made a name for himself in NYC with floor-melting performances, including an opening set for Psychemagik at Elsewhere's Zone One. He's played at vaunted venues, including Jupiter Disco, Mansions, TBA, Café Balearica, and on The Lot Radio with his Fortune Signal label-mates. With an expansive knowledge of underground dance music, Quantreau weaves sonic links between disparate styles to create genuinely unique sets. His selections reflect his 15 years as an observer, participator, and selector of underground dance music. Preferring not to be pigeonholed to a particular genre, he crafts sets to open up listeners to the new and unexpected. His infectious energy can draw even the most staunch trainspotters onto the floor. Quantreau is passionate about sharing the spotlight with other up-and-coming artists and fostering the next generation of electronic music talent. He's funneled that energy into Fortune Signal, the record label where he's a partner alongside D.D. Curry, DJ Fang, and K.mal. Starting in 2022, the imprint has five releases and counting from artists including DJ Burrito Boy, Akumen, Panooc, and Kyle Louis.Their RA profile lists Fortune Signal.Recently at Elsewhere, Million Goods, Wise Guy NY · often with D.D.
