    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Byron Yeates is a Berlin-based DJ and producer, founder of the party-turned record label Radiant Records, co-founder of La Noche, and a resident at Adonis in London, as well as Power Dance Club and Refuge Worldwide in Berlin. He has served his signature sound at Panorama Bar, Fold, Bassiani, Nowadays, Club Raum, TAG and beyond. Yeates’ sets are inflected with an attitude that can at once be incredibly playful and theatrically sincere; a duality that animates the queer lineage of electronic dance music in which Yeates places himself. Since November 2019, Yeates’ label Radiant Records has released an array of EPs by artists both local and abroad. The catalogue is filled with floor-ready cuts that also reward close listening—the RR sound is rich with unexpected timbres and textures, clever melodic lines, and rhythms pivoting far off the 4/4.
    Their RA profile lists !K7, High Hoops, Dischi Autunno, Planet Euphorique and 6 more.

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    RYKER is a DJ and event producer deeply embedded in New York's underground queer nightlife scene. They have performed at Nowadays, Basement, and Club Space in Miami, and across parties including Fast Forward, Weeeirdos, Mizz Softee, Steamroom, La Noche, and Mala Junta. Off the decks, they contribute to the production teams behind some of the city's most vital underground events, including Zero Chill, FAW, and QNCC. That same practice extends into nightlife programming for fashion houses and brand activations across New York. Their sets move through house, techno, and prog trance, with a sound that is retrofuturistic and groove-driven, pulled through a '90s sensibility and delivered with wit.
