    their own biography

    the whole biography
    NYC-based producer and DJ Lauren Ritter (All Day I Dream, ReSolute, Rift Vision) traffics in personal, groove-driven, minimal, melodic house, and tech house. Her 2015 and 2016 All Day I Dream releases quickly became favorites among fans and critics, being described as “hypnotic,” “mesmerizing,” and “a bittersweet headrush.” Swoon, and title track, Lark, have since been featured on several BBC Radio 1 Essential Mixes, expanding her reach well beyond the underground. Lauren unveiled her own imprint Rift Vision in 2020 during lockdown and has since released three emotive EPs encompassing her own solo compositions, collaborative works with Oakland-based poet Tenesha The Wordsmith (On The Corner), and remixes by lauded talent such as Octo Octa, Lawrence, Jenifa Mayanja, and Rrao. Ritter has also been back DJing in full force, with appearances incl the Zamna festival NYC & Miami, Do Not Sit Miami, Shameless Seattle, ReSolute NYC, and Public Records NYC, Robot Heart California, All Day I Dream Ibiza, and more. 2024 & 2025 saw a long-awaited return to Lee Burridge’s All Day I Dream label, with Ritter being featured in their winter compilation.2025 started off with a bang, with Ritter making her Chilean debut at Piknic Electronik. She will be returning to production full-force, with multiple releases on her Rift Vision label planned for throughout the year.

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Jake from State Pharm and Silver (Ag) first crossed paths in an unlikely place for two future DJs and medics — a boat in Bushwick, February 2020. Call it fate, call it a shared love of basslines and adrenaline, but what started as a casual conversation over a Bushwick waterway and city views turned into a deep friendship forged in rhythm, resilience, and rave. The duo reconnected on the dancefloor in 2021, right as the city began to breathe again. That reunion wasn’t just serendipity — it was ignition. Since then, Jake and Silver have become boat buddies for life, both behind the decks and in the field. By day (and often night), they’re trained medics who have worked EMS at festivals and clubs across New York, always ready to step up to the scene, steady hands in the chaos. By night (and sometimes morning), they’re selectors — DJs with a deep respect for the dancefloor and a mission to move it. They’ve played sets at legendary NYC spaces like TBA Brooklyn (RIP), Double Decker Disko (RIP), Signal, The House, and a rotating roster of underground venues where the lights are low, the subs are warm, and the community is everything. Starting on digital controllers and USBs, Jake and Silver have steadily built and refined their vinyl arsenals — digging, trading, and acquiring records that speak as much to soul as they do to sound. Their sets weave genres and tempos, but always center one idea: healing through music. Whether it’s a sunrise closer or a sweaty peak-hour push, their goal is the same — to hold space, build connection, and keep each other safe. They believe in looking out for one another — behind the decks, on the dancefloor, and in life. Because when the beat drops, it’s not just about the music. It’s about the people in the room. It’s about care. And that’s exactly what they’re here to give.
