    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Bridge is a Brooklyn-based DJ and performer who transforms the dancefloor into a shared stage. In her world, the audience becomes part of the spectacle, invited to shine, to feel powerful, expressive, and fully themselves. For Bridge, House and Disco are not simply genres, they are vehicles for freedom and collective celebration. Born in Italy and shaped by a global perspective, she brings a deeply rooted sound to international stages, paying homage to the Black and queer origins of the music she loves while bridging its legacy to modern dance floors. Rooted in classic and gospel house, disco, and ballroom, her sets are transportive, vocally driven experiences where presence, movement, and energy are all intentional parts of the show. Rather than following the conventional DJ-producer path, Bridge has carved a distinct journey centered on curation, performance, and storytelling. Her fluid genre-blending and magnetic stage presence have earned the attention of artists like Stacey Hotwaxxhale, Natasha Diggs, Joey Llanos, David DePino, and Barbara Tucker. Bridge is the founder of UPLIFTED, a party series rooted in joy, liberation, and the deep legacy of Black house music, and co-founder of Powerhaus, a Brooklyn-based house music collective. Her sound has been heard at Knockdown Center, Public Records, Nowadays, The Lot Radio, and more.

    “Shannon Dawson is a dance floor professional.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Shannon Dawson is a dance floor professional. From the club to the recording booth and beyond, the kinetic DJ exhibits a deep understanding of what moves people at any place or time. Born, raised, and currently based in New York, Shannon has brought her unlimited exuberance and expert DJ skills to Chongqing, China, where she lived for five years and lit up the decks at local clubs and parties across the country. There she co-founded and owned CREAM, Chongqing’s first hip-hop–focused club, and rounded out her nightlife experience operating and booking for the subcultural spot. Shannon’s sound: Big and bold. She commands the decks with impressive technical skill—she’s noted for her layering and phrasing, dizzying handwork, and big-time blends. Consistently unearthing fresh, fun, fiery tracks and off-kilter beats, she delivers hard-hitting club, breakbeat, classic and ghetto house, techno, global bass, and hip-hop. She’s slayed the CDJs in revered New York venues including Nowadays, Elsewhere, House of Yes, and Good Room. Outside of the club, Shannon graces the airwaves of the Lot Radio and Radio Bonita with her energetic mixes and sunny personality. She is also the host of the podcast Club Management, which explores music’s ability to bridge communities around the world through thoughtful interviews with such guests as TRAXMAN, UNIIQU3, Bohan Phoenix, Ikonika, and Dance Mania founder Ray Barney.

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Brooklyn-based DJ by way of the Midwest, tylerfromwhere never lets his roots stray far from the dance floor. After years of supporting friends as a host and partygoer on NYC’s nightlife circuit, his journey led him behind the decks at some of the city’s hot spots, including Mansions, the Lot Radio, Jupiter Disco, Le Bain, and Elsewhere. The primary objective in his musical journey is diving deeper into the genres that shaped the soundscape of his youth: house, R&B, disco, and the dance music he discovered from digging through his mom's trove of cassette tapes. He’s proven his versatility with regular bookings ranging from the upscale chic of Peoples and W Hotel, the wild energy of Wiggle Room and Cafe Balearica's basement club, and local haunts like Casanara in Bedstuy. Tyler loves to move a room, but he's rooted in being a student of the craft with an ear tuned to the groove. This same energy fuels Gruv Theory, his recently launched newsletter, radio show, and party series which serves as a creative exploration of his “here, there, and where.” And when he’s not in the booth, he’s back out with the crowd — reminding us all that there’s no place like the dance floor.
