the whole biography
Volvox is a global leader in the movement for representation of female, queer, trans and nonbinary identities in the techno industry. A dominant figure of New York’s techno renaissance, across the globe the name DJ Volvox has become synonymous with surgical mixing technique and a certain square-shooting, take-no-prisoner approach towards dance floor business. Her parties are the stuff of legend, and her authenticity as a global cultural figure is undeniable. As a member of Discwoman, the all-female DJ crew that transformed electronic music culture over the last decade, she broke ground for more women to rise in the global DJ ranks and inspired countless more to begin in the craft. Having circled the globe more times than she can count, Volvox has turned her sights back on nurturing electronic music culture in her home, the United States. Ariana is now spearheading the construction of a space of inclusivity under the umbrella of a FLINTA-driven event series, simply named FLINTA NYC. Her music-driven program seeks to reinvigorate the techno scene by reviving context and nuance and blending scenes to push Brooklyn nightlife into the next chapter. Ariana is known for tough, stripped-back techno and groovy hypnotic sets that seduce the listener into a maelstrom of emotion. She has been a busy DJ and event producer since 2006 and in that time has shared the decks with many international stars including DVS1, Marcel Dettmann, Ellen Allien, The Hacker, Legowelt and Mike Servito. Raised in Buffalo, New York, her early experiences in the industrial and rave scenes of rust-belt America shaped her outlook on dance culture. An ardent supporter of the underground, she was a key figure in developing the electronic music scene in Boston, Massachusetts from 2007-2010. Breaking out internationally in 2015 she has enjoyed a busy tour schedule including noted appearances at Dekmantel and the ascendant Sustain-Release festival in upstate New York. Since then she tours extensively across Europe and makes regular appearances at Berghain/Panorama Bar in Berlin. She also tours South America and Asia yearly. Ariana is a unique character on the US scene guaranteed to bring a high energy show that lights up dance floors with an undeniable spirit.Their RA profile lists Ostgut Ton, Jack Dept and Murder Records.Recently at H0L0, BASEMENT, Knockdown Center · often with Boris, Sissies of Mercy, Johanna Constantine, none of them here that night

“Fred P, also known as Black Jazz Consortium, is a pivotal figure in the deep house and electronic music landscape.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Fred P, also known as Black Jazz Consortium, is a pivotal figure in the deep house and electronic music landscape. With over two decades of sonic exploration, his music transcends the dance floor, serving as both a personal and collective journey into introspection and transformation. Rooted in spirituality, authenticity, and innovation, Fred’s sound is a conduit for emotional resonance—a universal language designed to uplift and inspire. Born and raised in New York City, Fred’s formative years were shaped by the city’s vibrant underground scene, where the legacies of Larry Heard, Frankie Knuckles, and Strictly Rhythm’s golden era left an indelible mark. However, his artistry extends far beyond his influences. "My service is to the music, and the music is for the people," Fred once said—a testament to his ethos of creating with purpose and intention. His prolific catalog, including standout releases like States of Bliss, 6AM, and the Rhythms from the Road series, showcases his fearless blend of ambient textures, jazz inflections, and hypnotic house grooves. Through his labels—Soul People Music, Private Society, and the newly launched Collective Resource—Fred has cultivated spaces for sonic experimentation, offering everything from secret DJ weapons to deeply meditative compositions. Fred’s DJ sets are immersive experiences, known for their seamless storytelling and ability to guide dancers through reflective, soul-stirring territories. Whether performing at institutions like Panorama Bar, Tresor, or in intimate spaces around the world, he crafts atmospheres where music becomes a transformative force. His commitment to evolution is equally evident in projects like his long-form work Counterpoise, his subscriber-focused releases on Private Society, and the forthcoming live Black Jazz Consortium trio, blending electronics with organic instrumentation. After relocating to Berlin in 2012 and navigating the solitude of the pandemic, Fred found renewed clarity, deepening his connection to music and community. His post-lockdown work reflects this growth—raw, heartfelt, and infused with the wisdom of lived experience. Beyond the decks and the studio, his e-book Pathways To Sonic Alchemy delves into the philosophy behind his craft, offering insights into sound as both art and a tool for self-discovery. Fred P continues to stand as a beacon of integrity in electronic music—an artist whose sound is as timeless as it is transformative.Their RA profile lists fabric Records, Renaissance, NRK Music, Get Physical Music and 6 more.Recently at Nowadays, H0L0, public records · often with Lakuti, Morgan, Marie Lung, none of them here that night

Since throwing her first party in 2015 and putting out her stellar debut EP, Electrical Encounters, on Peach Discs two years later, the Xi’an, China-born and Toronto, Canada- based Ciel has blazed a path as one of the hardest-working and most innovative artists in electronic music. Solo production highlights since Electrical Encounters include Hundred Flowers on Coastal Haze, Why Me? on Ghostly’s Spectral Sound, Orlando on !K7 Records, Ecstatic Editions vol. 1, the premiere release on Eris Drew’s vinyl-only label, and her pièce de résistance; the 2023 debut album Homesick, which she toured live internationally in 2024. Collaboratively, Ciel’s efforts are just as impressive, from the intricate, delicate Free EP with Kilig to the subterranean, propulsive Lunagenesis with Priori as Loopchasers. Excursions in bass and breaks with Dan Only as Cloudsteppers and murky, doofy cuts with CCL (on Tilda’s Goat Stare) and D.Tiffany (as Psychedelic Budz) further demonstrate Ciel’s versatility and seemingly boundless imagination, as do inventive remixes for the likes of King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Jacques Greene, Seb Wildblood, Off the Meds and Adam Pits. An adventurous selector adept at stitching together disparate styles and genres, Ciel has played at some of the world’s most celebrated venues including fabric, Robert Johnson, De School, Hot Mass, Smartbar, Berghain Panorama Bar and Nowadays, and at beloved festivals such as Draaimolen, Dimensions, Movement Detroit and MUTEK. A typical DJ set might move through dreamy downtempo, wiggly tech house, psychedelic techno, UK bass, slamming speed garage, and hardgroove to work through a diverse range of dancefloors and moods, from deep and trippy to unabashedly euphoric. Community-minded and deeply principled, Ciel has always supported and promoted colleagues and causes she believes in and is currently organizing with Toronto’s chapter of Writers Against the War on Gaza. An outspoken advocate for equity and social justice in electronic music, her values are inextricable from her work as a producer, DJ, label boss and radio host, a quality that endears her to like-minded fans and artists all over the world.Their RA profile lists Turbo Recordings, !K7, Spectral Sound, Tartelet Records and 6 more.Recently at Signal, public records, Paragon · often with SPRKLBB, Temple Rat, Greg Paulus, none of them here that night
