    the whole biography
    Born and raised in Argentina, Sammir now resides in New York. His passion for electronic music ignited at a young age, shaping his journey into a skilled artist. Over the years, he has meticulously crafted a vibrant sound, drawing inspiration from the early techno, house, and acid movements of the 90s. Sammir's primary focus has always been to captivate audiences and keep them dancing. During his time in Argentina, he established his own series of events named "Meeting Point" at the renowned Levitar venue. This establishment was revered by locals as the ultimate destination for vinyl sessions. Through "Meeting Point," Sammir curated a space where he could showcase diverse artists from both the international and local scenes, including DJs and producers. Now based in the United States, he continues to share his vision of contemporary electronic music with audiences far and wide. In 2021, Sammir made significant contributions as a producer to the VA affiliated with the Berlin-based label, Ewax. In the past he was able to share booth with artist like: Dj Koolt, Raphael Carrau, Bihn, Onirik, Stefano Andriezzi, Desiree, Rindeau, Daif, Montei, Alex Pastor, Connor Mikami, Birdmakingmachine, Manuk, Bernat, Mich, Jonas Kopp, Andres Zacco, Dani Labb, LightBlueFile, Moncarz, Manuel Matus.

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Joiah is an Italian–Colombian singer, producer, and DJ based in New York whose approach to electronic music feels closer to ritual than performance. She gravitates toward the spaces where eras, textures, and energies blur — between 90s trance echoes, cosmic house sensibilities, raw house breaks, and the shadowy pulse of techno. Never tied to a single lane, she moves through styles like currents, guided by intuition, symbolism, and emotion. As a producer, she released “Alchemic Amazon” on BSR, featuring a remix by Paolo Mosca, alongside several independent projects. Her collaborations include work with Muted Noise (with Roger Gerressen), Picnic Records, Klassified, vocal contributions to Gojnea76, an appearance on Nathan Melja’s Djo Sinego, and a guest mix for R&S Records. She has also delivered mixes for The Lot Radio. Joiah holds a residency with Signal and Apollo Studio while further expanding her presence within the global underground landscape. She has performed across the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Germany, Belgium, Portugal, France, and the United States, and has shared the stage with acts such as Mochakk, Deniro, Gojnea76, Sandrien, BELLA, VTSS, and more. In New York, she curates the underground series Sudden Logic and hosts Talks With Goddesses — The Artemisia Collective, a podcast devoted to female empowerment in the arts and sports, exploring intuition, identity, and the transformative force of community. “Joiah’s artistry is like a galaxy brain-scaled explosion of sounds. She weaves Cali, Colombia’s bustling markets into ear candy with jazzy breaks, acid twirls, and dreamy vocals. Picture yourself vibing from a chill house party to a neon-lit club, all in one track. Indeed, Joiah’s eclecticism appeals as much to the listener as the dancer, which grants her a PHD in spirit lifting.” - Best Kept Secret Music Festival
    Their RA profile lists Future Culture Records, BSR, Muted Noise and Picnic Records.
