  the whole biography

  Kasra V is a London-based DJ and producer born in Tehran, whose deep passion for music has propelled him to success in both club and radio settings. Growing up in Iran, he had limited access to Western music, relying on state-funded radio stations and bootleg downloads. After moving to London at the age of 17, Kasra's hunger for new sounds grew exponentially. Securing a residency at NTS Radio in 2014, Kasra honed his skills and showcased his eclectic taste in music. He has since broadcasted over 200 shows and hosted acclaimed artists such as Yello, Tangerine Dream, and Dream 2 Science. His DJ sets have graced legendary venues like Fabric, Panorama Bar, and Circoloco, as well as intimate community-building dance floors such as London’s sweaty queer party Adonis, Homodrop, Lion and Lamb, Fitzroy, and more. As a producer, Kasra's releases are a fusion of diverse influences, ranging from ambient soundscapes and orchestral swells to touches of electro and elements of 90s rave, all completed with a nod to the history of dance music.This eclectic blend defines Kasra’s unique signature style. Since 2021, he has focused more intently on his productions, resulting in acclaimed releases on labels such as Radiant Records and Sepehr’s Shaytoon Records. Additionally, Kasra launched the Iranian folklore-inspired project Flower Storm with Sepehr, further showcasing his prowess as a highly skilled producer. In Spring 2024, Kasra launched his own imprint, V-sion. He not only curates the musical output, contributing to the ongoing dialogue between past, future, and the ever-changing fulcrum of the sonic present, but also oversees the label aesthetics to showcase up-and-coming visual artists and their work. The first release on V-sion celebrated Kasra’s 10 years as an NTS resident and featured original tracks from Kasra V & Marie Malarie, Fantastic Man, Sepehr, Alex Kassian, Spray, Angel D’lite, Byron Yeates & Brandi, Kim Ann Foxman, and 500SEC. The story of V-sion will continue this November with solo work from Kasra himself, along with killer sleeve design and a line of merch. Named breakout DJ in 2023 by Mixmag, Kasra continues to make waves in the dance music scene, solidifying his reputation as a versatile and talented artist.

  their own biography

  the whole biography

  Second Contact is a New York City–based DJ and collaborator whose driving force behind the decks feels like seduction through control. His practice lives in the charged space between discipline and abandon, shaped by a shared dialogue and individual instinct. Moving fluidly between downtempo, dark wave, EBM, and progressive trance, his sets unfold in long, deliberate arcs that privilege tension, texture, and trust. Rather than overwhelm a room, Second Contact cultivates atmosphere. His selections linger, tease, and breathe, inviting dancers inward while leaving space for unpredictability. This same sensibility extends beyond the decks, ruled by a deep desire to cultivate community, draw inspiration from the unlikeliest of places, and build something from nothing through exchange rather than ego. His approach favors intimacy over spectacle and curiosity over dominance; his DJ sets result in a physical, quietly sinister, and visceral atmosphere designed not to command attention but to hold space and engage in play. Stepping away from any spectacle, Second Contact plays with the uninhibited, open-minded queerdos and freaks; an intimate tremble that demands total surrender from those who’d rather be lost in the secret than found in the light. Second Contact believes the most powerful moments on a dance floor come from anticipation. His approach is rooted in restraint, timing, and emotional intelligence, letting desire accumulate before release. His sets ask for patience and, in turn, reward surrender; slowly, but surely, creating spaces where dancers feel held, challenged, and quietly undone. Over the past few years, Second Contact has become a familiar presence in New York City’s most respected rooms, including Nowadays, Mansions, Nightmoves, Bossa Nova Civic Club, and Good Room. Internationally, his sound has carried to adventurous and discerning dance floors across Europe and beyond, including Sameheads, Salon des Amateurs, Post Bar, as well as scenes in Tbilisi, Georgia and Mexico City, where he operates in the high-stakes gap between discipline and abandon for the those who celebrate openness and risk and welcome the pursuit of creativity and expression instead of the easily digestible and familiar. As Honey Trap mainstay and resident, he shapes the cadence with a patient hand whether setting the tone at the opening doors or driving the final hours at close. His sound at Honey Trap leans into the series’ core–synth lust, hot tracks–bringing the dancefloor into a place of shared trust and communal rapture. Second Contact’s long-form sensibility extends naturally into radio with his guest mixes appearing on well-regarded The Lot Radio, Kiosk Radio, and Mutant Radio.
