    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Krithi is a Chennai-born, Brooklyn-based music producer, DJ, and music tech educator. With a distinct sonic signature marked by percussive intricacies and genre-blending innovation, Krithi has carved a unique space for herself in the contemporary music landscape. With roots in Jazz and Carnatic vocals, Krithi took an unexpected yet exciting turn in 2020 to create instrumental-only percussive rich music that provides a rhythmic escapade to captivate listeners. The boundaries between genres blur, and her beats tell stories of cultural intersections and sonic experimentation. Her self-released projects include “Padapadappu,” “Nilap-parappu” and “Uyirudan,” while she has also contributed to compilation projects by the newly launched label Bubblin’ (BB001) and UK-based collective Daytimers (DT001). When she's not cooking up beats, she works for Building Beats and We Make Noise NYC (fka Beats by Girlz NYC), two US-based organizations dedicated to making music technology more accessible for marginalized communities. She has also launched her own teaching project “kuttiBEATS” (“kutti” means child or little one in Tamil)—an online platform that allows kids and young adults to tap into their experience as digital natives and express their creativity through music tech.

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Sana is outspoken artist in the male-dominated dance music scene and challenges conventions and creates spaces where rhythm and melody bring people together. Layered with breakbeats, Baile Funk, and experimental bass, her sets expand the boundaries of house while keeping the dancefloor locked in a driving groove. Her music seamlessly blends traditional Indian instruments with the pulse of house, melodic techno, and bass, while weaving in Afro, Tribal, Indo, and Latin influences to craft a dynamic and diverse sonic journey. Sana is one of the founders of DAYTIMERS NYC, the New York chapter of the acclaimed UK collective, and has been featured on Refuge Worldwide (Berlin), Newtown Radio (NYC), and Half Moon BK (NYC). She has performed at leading venues in NYC and London, including Elsewhere, House of Yes, Jazz Cafe (UK), Kindred (UK), and Superior Ingredients, supporting events for acclaimed labels and collectives such as Indo Warehouse, Laylit, DAYTIMERS UK, and Anjunadeep. In 2025, Sana released an official remix of “Ghana Kasoota” with Sony Music India/Relentless Records, reimagining the viral hit through her globally inspired sound. She is currently working on her debut EP with Pink Turban, continuing to merge South Asian instruments, tribal drums, and Carnatic vocals with dynamic dance music for a truly cross-cultural experience. The EP is set to be released in late 2025.
    Their RA profile lists Relentless Records.
