  the whole biography

  Texas-born and Brooklyn-based, Henry Chow has spent nearly three decades embedded in the underground, moving dance floors with raw, mood-driven techno and house. A lifelong crate digger, his sound leans heavy on tension, groove, and restraint—built for dark rooms and long nights. As a DJ, Chow’s reputation has carried him to international stages and key venues across the U.S., including regular appearances at The Great Beyond (US). In Houston, Chow co-founded Crossroads, then one of Texas’ longest-running dance parties. The series became a proving ground for uncompromising international and regional artists alongside deeply rooted local talent, helping shape a sustainable, late-night culture. After arriving in Brooklyn in 2017, Chow re-established Crossroads with a series of events at the now defunct TBA Brooklyn. Years later Chow teamed up with Dianna Loevner, Samuel FIsh, and Dyllon Young to help create the underground outfit Mizz Softee. In the studio, Chow first cut his teeth in the early 2000s, releasing an EP on Marco Carola's seminal techno imprint, Zenit. Followed by original and remixes on labels such as Genetic Recordings, Thoughtless Music, Harmonious Discord and Abiotic. Dug from the past and locked into the present, Henry Chow delivers music that’s physical and meant to be felt.

  their own biography

  the whole biography

  Irish-born and New York-based, STE-VÍ has carved out a distinct space within the city’s underground through a disciplined, vinyl-led approach to techno. His selections span the spectrum of the genre, moving from deep, hypnotic layers to driving, emotive peaks and rhythmic grooves, all anchored by a room-led approach. By prioritizing timing and flow, he allows the specific energy of the night to dictate the trajectory of the set. Committed to vinyl culture, his selections prioritize modern pressings while drawing from earlier records for both inspiration and functionality. This approach allows different eras of techno to sit naturally within a forward-looking sound, a perspective recently highlighted by his Berlin debut at Renate for the QS1 showcase in March 2026. Active within New York’s underground circuit since his debut at Basement NY in 2025, he continues to build momentum through consistent appearances at the city's most respected booths. As the founder of Solace NY, he further champions this vinyl-first ethos by curating a platform for emerging talent from the US and Europe. The event series fosters a deliberate exchange between the two landscapes, emphasizing thoughtful programming and a commitment to the fundamental craft of the selector. Whether navigating major club systems or steering an intimate floor, STE-VÍ remains focused on the enduring culture of the wax-only booth.
