    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Ricky Mawzlin’s a DJ, event organizer, musician, and all-around music nerd from Pittsburgh, PA. He’s half of Jellyfish: a duo that plays & hosts queer parties around Pittsburgh, the USA, and abroad. His sometimes-chaotic musical style bounces between playful italo, to melodic techno, to obscure house, to ambient shoegaze, to hi-nrg disco extravaganza, and more.

    “Electric is the only way to describe Andi’s sets.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Electric is the only way to describe Andi’s sets. The NYC-based DJ, producer, and SYNTHICIDE label/party boss constructs a dynamic and intoxicating flow that’s always palpable between the walls of the foggy, neon-lit dancefloor. Parts sleaze and sultry, Andi’s aesthetic is body music based, thriving on the delivery of the groove and the bombastic highs of a track’s apex. As a devotee of distinct sounds such as EBM, new beat, Italo, freestyle and housey 90s elements, her sets reflect her deep vinyl collection: diverse, yet focused, and completely one-of-a-kind. Her own productions aim to challenge the expectations within the confines of traditionally masculine dance genres. With bassline-heavy grooves and a conceptual emphasis on storytelling with samples taken from long-forgotten erotic thrillers and seedy sci-fi films, Andi adds a wry yet delicate touch to machine music. As the boss of SYNTHICIDE—the internationally known party, label and event series—Andi has cultivated the dark underground scene for over a decade in Brooklyn. SYNTHICIDE started at the notorious club in Bushwick, Bossa Nova Civic Club, where the party still holds a monthly residency. Additionally, Andi is a resident at The Lot Radio and NYC’s Gabriela.
