Michael Cignarale is a Brooklyn based DJ and producer and a powerful enigma who has given the dance music scene a new feast for both sight and sound! In January 2024, he was named as one of DJ MAG’S “EIGHT EMERGING ARTISTS YOU NEED TO HEAR," shortly after releasing “Dance Like We Are Lovers,” which features remixes from Justin Cudmore and BASHKKA. Michael is the resident DJ of MEDUSA, an instrumental party that has shaped China’s dance music scene for the last eight years. Both a producer, vocalist, and DJ, Michael incorporates every facet of entertainment that audiences desire, and leaves them thirsty for more. His impactful live vocals are signature to his sets, paired with pumping 90’s inspired house music. His DJ sets are a blend of driving energy, flair, and exquisite frequencies that pump the essence of New York underground into your soul. In 2021 Michael released a 10-track album, “Operatic Orgasm.” The album garnered widespread acclaim thus solidifying his position within the industry as a versatile and sought-after music producer. Releasing music on the legendary “Nervous Records,” Michael is primed to explode even further this year with his highly-anticipated future releases on Chrissy’s Maximum Airtime, Medusa Records, and more. He has been featured on The Blessed Madonna’s, BBC Radio Six “The Story Of… ,” as well as various other high-profile media publications such as “Resident Advisor, MixMag, and Crack.”Their RA profile lists Polari Records, Medusa Records, Spotlight Records, Maximum Airtime and 1 more.Recently at public records, BASEMENT · often with Dee Diggs, materia hache, Function, none of them here that night

the whole biography
A familiar face across Brooklyn and Manhattan’s queer club circuit, Mark has brought his sharp, feel-good energy to parties The Carry Nation and HARDER along with appearances at Good Room, ANIMAL, Paragon, H0L0 and more. Raised in West Virginia and forged in New York’s nightlife underground, Mark’s sound sits at the intersection of pop, disco, and house infused with the kind of emotional immediacy and playful nostalgia that keep dancers locked in from start to finish. He’s known for bridging eras and moods with an effortless hand, pairing a ‘90s remix with a fresh club edit or a deep house groove with a hands-up anthem. Mark’s journey began in the early 2000s, promoting at iconic West Side clubs before finding his true home behind the decks. Over the years, he’s become a go-to DJ for both underground ragers and high-profile brand events, trusted for his ability to read a room, move a crowd, and build a vibe that feels both stylish and spontaneous. Whether he’s closing out a late-night warehouse set or soundtracking a downtown launch party, Mark brings a distinctly New York approach: bold, magnetic, and rooted in connection. His mission is simple: make people move, keep them feeling good, and remind them why this city still dances like nowhere else on earth.Recently at Good Room, Animal, 9 Bob Note · often with Prince Rose, Kilopatrah Jones, Clarisa Kimskii, none of them here that night
