the whole biography
Hailing from the Midwest, HNDRNC began working the club and party scene over 10 years ago before moving to NYC. Since then, the Heavy Waste co-founder and resident for Good Room’s REDIRECT party series has been solidifying his place in the Brooklyn techno scene. His sound is a direct expression of how he moves through and processes the world: empowering, fleeting, fast, and hard. Driven by the desire to command a room and create lasting moments, HNDRNC builds intensity from singular elements, connecting to something primal and instinctive—existing right at the edge of chaos, where letting go becomes inevitable.Recently at Good Room, Absurd Conclave · often with SANDBAG, S'aint Panic, R-DNA, none of them here that night
