Bored Lord is the alias of Oakland-based DJ and producer Daria Lourd, a musician in the Bay Area underground known for her sets and performances that weave together house, club, breakbeat, and beyond. A prolific producer, her tracks reflects a deep reverence for dance music culture, reimagined through a distinctly queer lens, and DIY background. While under her given name, her music veers towards downtempo dub-influnced hardware songs. With her wife, she is part of the duo Darlynn. She has released a large, mostly self-released, discography since 2012. She is a member of No Bias, a resident at Bar Part Time, and an employee at Cone Shape Top. She has a radio show on Lower Grand Radio every 4th Monday at 3pm.Recently at Paragon, 99 Scott Ave, Bossa Nova Civic Club · often with bastiengoat, RITCHRD, nextdimensional, none of them here that night

the whole biography
RYKER is a DJ and event producer deeply embedded in New York's underground queer nightlife scene. They have performed at Nowadays, Basement, and Club Space in Miami, and across parties including Fast Forward, Weeeirdos, Mizz Softee, Steamroom, La Noche, and Mala Junta. Off the decks, they contribute to the production teams behind some of the city's most vital underground events, including Zero Chill, FAW, and QNCC. That same practice extends into nightlife programming for fashion houses and brand activations across New York. Their sets move through house, techno, and prog trance, with a sound that is retrofuturistic and groove-driven, pulled through a '90s sensibility and delivered with wit.Recently at BASEMENT, Nowadays · often with TT, Mother Daughter Dance, Aöcram, none of them here that night
“Makadsi continues to impress.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Makadsi continues to impress. This Brooklyn-based DJ/Producer, hailing from Zahle Lebanon, owns the underground scene with his signature sound merging Arabic influences over cross-genre sets. He is a resident and co-founder of FUNCTION, a space where he has cultivated a dance floor that honors the natural, vibrant diversity of New York City. NY’s BASEMENT dubbed Makadsi as the “rave activator”. 2025 saw Makadsi deepen his footprint across Europe. He returned to Glastonbury for a second year, this time on the IICON stage, and debuted at Horst Arts & Music Festival in Belgium. Summer took him from Honey Dijon's Chinois in Ibiza to Geggen x Pornceptual for Berlin Pride, Body Movements in London, the main stage at Madrid's MADO Pride, and Adonis for London Pride. French-German network ARTE profiled him for their Tracks series, spotlighting how he threads Arabic divas through techno beats. Back stateside, he played in the iconic Texas room for the 4th Annual Wire Festival in Brooklyn, NY further cementing his role in the heart of the city's underground. 2024 was no less impressive, with Makadsi’s debuts in Ibiza at Palmarama, Glastonbury Festival's iconic NY Downlow stage, Berlin's Pornceptual, Honey Dijon’s House Nation in Brooklyn, and NITSA's 30th birthday in Barcelona. 2023 was nothing short of monumental for Makadsi, taking FUNCTION on the road alongside Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour. As the Creative Director and architect for the Renaissance album and Renaissance World Tour, he booked opening DJ acts featuring familiar darlings of the Queer Underground scene (Arca, Shygirl, and more). He ended the tour with his own opening set for Beyoncé's last show in Kansas City. Topping off the year, Makadsi opened for Madonna’s Celebration Tour in Brooklyn.Recently at Signal, Good Room, H0L0 · often with Sterling Juan Diaz, Dangerous Rose, Markus, none of them here that night

the whole biography
FASHION - is an Asian American transsexual diva, designer, artist, and DJ based in NYC and sometimes Berlin. She would describe her musical style as an eclectic digital fusion: often combining the yin of trance (feminine, passive, chaos) and the yang of techno (masculine, active, order). Fashion is influenced heavily by her international identity, digital millennial upbringing, and the burgeoning cultural hub of New York which you can hear in her undefinable yet global sound.Recently at Green Room NYC, Performance Space New York, H0L0 · often with Dangerous Rose, Memphy, Markus, none of them here that night
