Blaire’s reverence for 90s house, hard-hitting techno, and mind-bending acid guarantees an active dance floor, kept enthralled by intentionally placed breaks and thrilling interplays of tempos and textures. As a result of their dedicated vinyl practice, Blaire’s sets are also technically engaging, with brilliant phrasing and thoughtful touches of turntablism. Her mastery behind the decks gives Blaire the space to really work her selections—manipulating the record unites her energy with the track and transmits it to every dancer on the floor. Through these sonic communications, they explore concurrent themes of resistance & joy and existence & play with the crowd. In addition to sharing her gifts through her DJ sets, Blaire betters Boston’s underground through her organizing, for the queer dance music collective Boudoir and her new series Sheer Bliss. These themed parties—graced by guests like Ariel Zetina, Lakuti, and SPRKLBB and Mutualism—exhibit the extraordinary strength and kinship of the community Blaire has helped come together. It’s hard to find parties filled with as much uninhibited delight. Furthering her commitment to community care, she has created a space for rejuvenation of body and mind during turbulent times, her intimate Sunday ambient and downtempo party called Sweetie Pie. A trusted and beloved star in Boston, Blaire has caught the attention of formidable East Coast and Midwest DJs and organizers from Nick Boyd/Sorry Records in New York to Club Chow/Club Gauche in Chicago to Jellyfish in Pittsburgh, and they have played such clubs as Good Room, Basement, smartbar, and Marble Bar. In fall 2024, she went on the road with Eris Drew and Octo Octa for their LUV NRG Soundsystem tour—a perfect fit, as Blaire exhibits the sincerity, the deftness, and the rave-rousing multidimensionality the pair is famous for and that will keep her captivating dancers for many years to come.Recently at BASEMENT, Earthly Delights, Jupiter Disco · often with A lana, ራሄል (Rachel), Bennet (DE), none of them here that night

Sam discovered her love for electronic music at a young age while surfing YouTube, which has sent her into a lifelong digging rabbit hole. Her sound reflects a deeply informed ear and reverence for dancing, pulling from her coming of age experience on the floors at raves and clubs. Her work as a DJ and producer leans into mutant sonic collisions, channeling the spirit of midwestern electronics through acid-infused, tracky body music.Trance on 3, Techno on 2, Hardcore on 2 and Ambient on 1. styles on their catalogued releasesReleased on RAVE4EVAR (1), Yearning (1) and low income $quad (1); their RA profile also lists Evar Records and Gyration Station. labels on their catalogued releases and on their RA profileRecently at Mansions, 3 Dollar Bill, H0L0 · often with Mike Servito, Miss Parker, MORENXXX, none of them here that night

their own biography
the whole biography
London-born, Atlanta-raised, and Brooklyn-based, J.N.R. grounds her obsession with digging and curation in a deep respect for club culture and endless hours spent on the dancefloor. Her sound sits at the crossroads of uk bass, prog, and tech house, with moments of meditative introspection and energetic exuberance doled out in equal measure. Classically trained for 15 years, J.N.R. brings both precision and playfulness to her sets, infusing foundational influences with fresh energy. She’s played at a number of notable venues in BK and beyond, including Elsewhere, H0L0, and Kater, and has graced the decks for respected NYC institutions like ReSolute and Ladies on Wax. J.N.R. sets traverse genres and are rooted in the raw expression of the 90s & early 00s: bumpy UKG, spacey prog, techy rollers, choppy breaks, and heady bass are all on the table.Recently at Elsewhere, SILO, Delirium · often with Gigi Rio, Remniqe, Samuel Pojer, none of them here that night
