    the whole biography
    Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, @SteenSchmidt is a house and techno DJ, blues rock guitar player, and singer. He has performed in clubs, bars, and toured statewide. He has recorded as a songwriter, guitarist, and singer since he was 13 years young. Along with clubbing since he was 18, Steen is familiar with the NYC underground scene. Years later, he began djing parties and venues around Brooklyn having residencies at Happyfun Hideaway, SILO, Rash, and many more. Steen hosts open decks at SILO for over a year, and also at Happyfun Hideaway for over three years, in which he collaborates with many local DJs to help many beginner DJs get experience or get used to playing live. His party series Debauch has featured artists Frankie Bones, Kush Jones, Concrete Husband, S'aint Panic, Alissa Brianna, SPF50, MZ3, and more in underground venues, SILO, Jupiter Disco, and Earthly Delights. His DJ performances range from classic, deep and tech house to raw, deep, hypnotic and hard techno, along with elements of electro, breaks and more.

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    ANICHE (pronounced "An-ee-sh") is an Indian-born, Brooklyn-based genre-agnostic DJ, producer, curator, and community builder blending Hindustani Classical roots with experimental club sounds into genre-fluid sets. His sets move like controlled chaos: joyful, unpredictable, charged with energy, bass, and moments that catch you off guard. He’s the founder of @finding.your.niche, known for events like EXTRA SPICY PLEASE and for the people, a substance-free, community-focused series. His sets have moved crowds at countless venues from Elsewhere to SILO to Meadows in New York City, and beyond, like San Francisco and Tokyo’s underground scene. A resident at Halfmoon Radio and Newtown Radio, ANICHE is known for high-energy, boundary-pushing sets rooted in intention and cultural influence. He also regularly uploads mixes to his YouTube channel, featuring unique locations: from a high-energy Halloween walking DJ set through the streets of NYC to a chill, jazzy session at the foot of Mt. Fuji in Japan.
