the whole biography
NYC-based producer and DJ Lauren Ritter (All Day I Dream, ReSolute, Rift Vision) traffics in personal, groove-driven, minimal, melodic house, and tech house. Her 2015 and 2016 All Day I Dream releases quickly became favorites among fans and critics, being described as “hypnotic,” “mesmerizing,” and “a bittersweet headrush.” Swoon, and title track, Lark, have since been featured on several BBC Radio 1 Essential Mixes, expanding her reach well beyond the underground. Lauren unveiled her own imprint Rift Vision in 2020 during lockdown and has since released three emotive EPs encompassing her own solo compositions, collaborative works with Oakland-based poet Tenesha The Wordsmith (On The Corner), and remixes by lauded talent such as Octo Octa, Lawrence, Jenifa Mayanja, and Rrao. Ritter has also been back DJing in full force, with appearances incl the Zamna festival NYC & Miami, Do Not Sit Miami, Shameless Seattle, ReSolute NYC, and Public Records NYC, Robot Heart California, All Day I Dream Ibiza, and more. 2024 & 2025 saw a long-awaited return to Lee Burridge’s All Day I Dream label, with Ritter being featured in their winter compilation.2025 started off with a bang, with Ritter making her Chilean debut at Piknic Electronik. She will be returning to production full-force, with multiple releases on her Rift Vision label planned for throughout the year.Deep House on 7, Tech House on 6, House on 3 and Progressive House on 2. styles on their catalogued releasesTheir RA profile lists ReSolute Label and All Day I Dream.Recently at H0L0, Moondog Hifi, Elsewhere · often with Nabila, Bea Trinidad, Mr. Murray, none of them here that night

Born and raised in New York City, Alex is the product of a true cultural melting pot — a multicultural upbringing that has shaped a deeply versatile and globally influenced musical identity. This foundation has made him an expert across a wide spectrum of sounds, with the instinct and technical ability to move any crowd, anywhere — pushing the boundaries of what defines a genre, and going far beyond the familiar. This is most evident in his sonic imprint, where nothing is off limits, leading to a kaleidoscope of sounds and an eclectic journey one can't forget. With over a decade of experience as both a DJ and music producer, he has released music on legendary labels such as Nervous Records and Trax Records, while also building his own successful imprint, Supermarkt Musik. His performances have taken him to renowned venues and dance floors across the world, earning a reputation for musical depth, adaptability, and energy. Beyond performing, Alex has played an influential role behind the scenes of nightlife culture — working as a booker and talent buyer at the legendary Output, as well as the now-defunct Avant Gardner. He currently serves as booker and talent buyer at Mad Radio, where he continues to shape cutting-edge programming and artist curation.Their RA profile lists Trax Records and Nervous Records.Recently at Dead Letter No. 9, The Sultan Room, Jupiter Disco · often with Ay Papi, Sid Vaga, Omar Ludwig, none of them here that night

their own biography
the whole biography
AG is a Queens born DJ and creative whose sound is shaped by the energy of New York and the rhythm of Medellín. Raised around music through his father, a Brooklyn DJ, his connection to sound started early and continues to evolve through both heritage and experience. His sets are driven by groove and emotion, blending deep and soulful house with touches of R&B, disco, and Latin rhythm. Influenced by the timeless artistry of Sade, Stevie Wonder, and George Michael, his approach leans into feeling, musicality, and intention. More than just track selection, AG focuses on building a feeling in the room; warm, intimate, and immersive. Each set unfolds as a journey, balancing subtlety with moments of release. With a strong connection to community and culture, AG approaches DJing as both a musical and human experience, creating spaces where people can connect, move, and find their own frequency.Recently at Dead Letter No. 9, Jupiter Disco, Rash · often with Tone Troy, Omar Ludwig, Max Parkinson, none of them here that night
“Born in beats, raised on rhythm.”

the whole biography
Born in beats, raised on rhythm. ROLO's journey into music began as a teenage guitarist and vocalist fronting bands at 15. But it was behind the decks where he truly found his groove—sparked by Paul Oakenfold’s legendary Creamfields 2003 set. Since graduating from NYC’s Dubspot School of Music Production in 2015, ROLO has incorporated production craftsmanship with an instinct for unforgettable dance floor moments. His sound is a kinetic blend of hypnotic drum grooves, vocal-driven melodies, and raw underground energy—drawing inspiration from rhythm-driven deep house, Romanian minimal techno, and breakbeat textures. From NYC spots like Rebecca's Bar, McCarren Parkhouse, and The Dirty Library to venues in India, ROLO brings the heat—delivering sets that move bodies and engage minds.Recently at The Local NY, Archivio Records, Rebecca's · often with Joverine, Pablo Flor, Juan Toca Rico, none of them here that night
