    the whole biography
    Known as a techno producer who has her own unique and innovative sounds, Julia has most recently been featured on Bandcamp Daily as the best electronic music producer and in a glowing review in The New Yorker that called her talent "beguiling" and "rare" and that her music "fills the mind."  She is the founder and curator of the music record label JUJUKA, partner at Bar Laika by e-flux and Public Records resident. "She established a style that feels half Rome school, half Japanese hypnotic techno, but fully Julia Govor." Julia is enthusiastic and energetic with a charismatic fatal charm. Govor knows how to move, make others feel and engage. . She also is a consummate cat wrangler, experienced squirrel whisperer and can rock the hell out of a vintage ski suit.

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Løt.te is Mehmet Irdel (born 1978), a Turkish artist, producer, dj and designer. He’s currently based in Brooklyn, NY, where he runs AI—F, a record label releasing music and sound works that explore use of technology by and against oppressors such as authoritarian governments and greedy corporations. Upon moving to the US from his native Turkey at age 18, Mehmet started composing electronic music initially influenced by Warp Records and A-Musik artists, and later by industrial and experimental acts like Coil, Muslimgauze, Z’ev, Einstürzende Neubauten and Aube. In 2010, he founded the ambient/noise project Divine Slime, which blended electronics with traditional instruments from the Middle East and East Asia. He also co-founded the art and design collective and record label Rote Productions, through which he released experimental records and artworks until 2015. Mehmet started producing and releasing music and performing under the Løt.te name in 2014. He’s released records on The Bunker New York, Robert & Leopold, New York Trax, Mysteries of the Deep, and AI—F. Mehmet has performed globally both live and as a dj, at venues such as Berghain (BER), Pickle Factory (LON), Contact (TYO), Nowadays (NYC), Good Room (NYC), and Bossa Nova Civic Club (NYC). Since 2017, he's been producing and exhibiting politically-charged long form audio and audiovisual works that take inspiration and adopt techniques from filmmaking. These works have been presented at galleries and performance spaces in both USA and Turkey.
    Their RA profile lists The Bunker New York, New York Trax, JUJUKA and Mysteries of the Deep.
