“Armana Khan fuses her Desi roots with global rhythms.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Armana Khan fuses her Desi roots with global rhythms. Her sets are not just music; they are cultural bridges, mixing tabla with techno and bhangra with afrobeat to bring the world together through sound. "Music is a universal language," says Armana. "It can teach us about one another and, perhaps, bring peace." Her mission is to turn dance floors into spaces of connection and harmony. World music for world peace is her vision and her vibe.Recently at Nowadays, Elsewhere, 9 Bob Note · often with Mansaf Mama, ARCHANGEL, SAMIA, none of them here that night

their own biography
the whole biography
Bea Trinidad is a New York City–born and based Filipina DJ, vinyl selector, and producer whose sound is a vibrant map of her global travels and multicultural roots. Her sets are heavily based on New York City’s musical identity, anchored in the warmth of soulful and deep house, with influences of hip-hop and r&b, jazz, soul, peak-time euphoria of ’90s anthems, and a wide-reaching palette of global club rhythms - the very sounds that defined the city’s legendary dance floors. A technical powerhouse behind the decks, Bea is known for her multi-deck mixing and hybrid digital-vinyl sets. By bridging the gap between these classic NYC sensibilities and modern dance floor rhythms, she creates a sound that is both locally rooted and internationally minded. A classically trained pianist and dancer of over 20 years, Bea’s relationship with music is inherently physical. Her perspective has been sharpened by a decade-long immersion in rave culture, giving her an innate understanding of the dance floor’s energy and the "why" behind the groove. While living in Europe for three years, Bea’s background as a promoter for the Paris-based collective Possession offered a firsthand look at the logistics and raw energy required to build a movement from the underground up. This experience, combined with her ability to speak several languages, allows her to navigate the industry as a true sonic citizen. Bea is celebrated for her versatility. Much like her work as a cultural commentator, her sets explore the globalization of sound, proving that a fusion of cultures can create a universal language on the floor. Bea has brought her sound to some of New York City’s favorite spaces, including Public Records, Elsewhere, and House of Yes. Her international reach extends to Asia and Europe, while her versatility has led to partnerships with global brands like Adidas, Free People, the US Open, and Dazed Magazine. Beyond the booth, she remains a dedicated advocate for her community, consistently lending her abilities to fundraisers, POC-led organizations, and initiatives championing women in music. Ultimately, her mission is to ensure the dance floor remains an accessible site for connection, advocacy, and joy.Recently at Jupiter Disco, Unveiled, Nublu · often with Roland & Brother Rich, Bustin' Loose, SMURFOUDIRTY, none of them here that night

the whole biography
Living in Brooklyn by way of Karachi, Pakistan, Dynoman is widely credited as an instrumental figure in the formation and development of the Karachi underground and Pakistan’s electronic music scene. He has been producing electronic music under the Dynoman moniker since 2009, and co-founded Forever South, Pakistan’s first internationally recognized digital label, in 2012. Over the years, his sound has evolved alongside his lived experience, remaining rhythm-forward, percussion-driven, and rooted in movement. After relocating to New York in 2017, Dynoman founded Rare Frequency Transmissions, which he continues to co-run. He is a frequent presence in the Brooklyn underground and self-releases much of his work through Dynoman Music, showcasing a wide breadth of styles and approaches. When stepping into the booth, his sets are shaped by the moment rather than pre-planning, often unfolding without a fixed trajectory as he responds to the energy of the space and the room. In 2023, Dynoman co-founded Tarka, a project celebrating diaspora through artistic practice. In recent years, his work has increasingly explored rhythm, repetition, and shared states through sound, with live performances and recordings reflecting a deep engagement with percussion-led, future-facing approaches grounded in South Asian lineage.Experimental on 1. styles on their catalogued releasesTheir RA profile lists Rare Frequency Transmissions.Recently at Mood Ring, Elsewhere, Bossa Nova Civic Club · often with Bergsonist, Nabihah Iqbal, ZEEMUFFIN, none of them here that night

Juke Bounce Werk and OSSX crew member ELISE is a DJ and community builder whose work focuses on spreading joy through her energetic, multi-genre sets. Born in NYC, she grew up in a myriad of places including Jamaica, and was a flautist for the majority of her childhood. While pursuing painting and photography, she was drawn towards nightlife while taking photos of the local electronic music scene, and in 2019 decided to get behind the decks herself. ELISE's dynamic and excitable style has been turning heads all around the US, expect to hear Dancehall, Club, Footwork and everything in between. She has traveled internationally and toured the United States, and shared stages with artists such as Dancehall legend Sean Paul.
