the whole biography
After relocating to Australia in his early twenties, he quickly embedded himself in the underground scene, playing professionally while gaining hands-on experience across event promotion, club programming, artist booking and label operations. That foundation shaped his long-term perspective on music not only as an art form, but as a cultural ecosystem. Over the past fifteen years, YokoO has toured internationally, bringing his hypnotic and emotionally rich approach to dancefloors across Europe, the Americas, Asia and Australia. His productions reflect the same philosophy: deep, meditative grooves built around subtle textures and emotional resonance. Releases such as Pachamama (on Get Physical’s Kindisch), Euneirophrenia (on All Day I Dream) and Jivanmuktih (On Crosstown Rebels’ Rebellion) marked key milestones in his artistic evolution and continue to receive support from influential artists worldwide. As the founder of SATYA, YokoO has built a globally respected vinyl-focused imprint dedicated to uncompromising artistic expression and carefully curated electronic music. What began as a personal vision has developed into an expanding catalogue distributed internationally and supported by a growing network of artists and collectors. Beyond his own label, he also serves as A&R for Toka Musik, further extending his role as a curator and tastemaker within the scene. As a DJ, YokoO approaches the dancefloor as a space for long-form storytelling. Based primarily in Lisbon, he holds a monthly residency at Rūmu, where his sets unfold through deep, minimal and hypnotic soundscapes. Guided by presence and authenticity, his work remains anchored in one core principle: a commitment to Truth, whether in the studio, behind the decks, or through the development of SATYA.Their RA profile lists Get Physical Music, Kindisch Records, Plastic City, Musik Gewinnt Freunde and 5 more.Recently at Gaia Nomaya, Superior Ingredients, The Brooklyn Monarch · often with Recondite, alexander:louis, Alex Raouf, none of them here that night

Lovecraft is a Brooklyn-based DJ and producer rooted in the ZERO community and New York’s underground house and techno scene. His sets are known for their depth, tension, and atmosphere, shaped by late nights in the city and a musical sensibility that stays fully focused on the dance floor. Alongside his DJ work, Lovecraft also performs a live set built entirely from original music. A lifelong guitarist, he incorporates electric guitar into the performance in a way that adds depth and identity without losing sight of the room. His performances have ranged from clubs like Brooklyn Mirage, Factory Town, and Kater Blau to festivals including Mysteryland and Lightning in a Bottle, as well as Burning Man camps such as Mayan Warrior, Robot Heart, and Maxa. Across clubs, festivals, and live performance, Lovecraft brings a sound that is musical, immersive, and built for the dance floor.Their RA profile lists No.19 Music.Recently at Circle Line Cruises, The 1896, Superior Ingredients · often with OBA+FLIP, Daniel Cowel, Sarah Wild, none of them here that night

the whole biography
MEET DANIELA Deep Playa and Her Name is Shakti Founder and resident DJ Daniela books the talent, manages the Deep Playa and Shakti community, dreams up wild sunrise shenanigans, and works on event collaborations. She learned to DJ in 2001 while working at an independent record store in NYC. She fell in love with dance music before she was a teenager and with over 20 years of experience dancing and playing music around the globe, she prides herself on vast musical knowledge and her ability to weave many different genres into her sets, from deep, tribal, nomadic playatech, to acid house to organic house, melodic breakbeat, progressive, disco house, italodisco, and so much more. If you know your dance music, you'll always be able to trainspot a classic in her sets. She lives to play sunrise sets on the beach, her favorite place in the world (besides Black Rock City!) FROM THE ARTIST From a very young age, music was my emotional outlet. I started playing piano at age 3 and I don't know if I would be alive today if it weren't for my piano. I trained to be a professional pianist starting when I was 16 but stopped when I was 21, realizing I had other professional aspirations. Since then I began to play guitar and drums and then in 2020, I came out of DJ retirement and it was the best decision I made for myself in a long time. I love playing sunrise sets because it offers an opportunity to span many different genres as the light comes in, changes the scenery, thus changing our moods and mindsets. Curating music is a dance between the DJ and the crowd, balancing who is leading and who is following— sometimes the DJ leads the crowd, and sometimes you read the crowd and follow their lead. We all know music is a form of communication, of expression. My songs are my love letters: I write them for you. DEEP PLAYA Ideas for Deep Playa and its evolution come to me in dreams and in spiritual visions while meditating for example (and sometimes randomly, like at the gym.) But on a deeper level, it relates to my childhood and to family. I grew up constantly surrounded by family-- I was raised by the proverbial village, and community is everything to me. We're all just subconsciously recreating childhood memories, just like David Mancuso was, unknowingly for a long time, with The Loft parties. So I always think of some fun thing that brings us back to childhood, like a 14-foot trampoline appearing at sunrise, or a slip-n-slide that goes right into the ocean, or a 20-foot long jump rope, or bubble guns. It's another way to spread love and to remind everyone of their loving innocence, their child heart that they should never lose. The energy and love you emit attract your people. It's always heart and nothing else. Deep Playa is my heart outside of my body. It's our baby and it's growing up so fast. We had a vision for what Deep Playa was going to be and how it was going to be, but now its taken a life of its own-- it and its people teach us how to be and what it desires.
