Blending classic house with the raw energy of percussive dance, and ghetto tech, Dennis creates a sound that’s both soulful & rhythmic with driving basslines. His sets—ranging from 120 to 140 BPM—have an undeniable pulse that pulls dancers into a communal trance which has quickly allowed him to carve out a name as one of the most exciting young tastemakers in dance music. Dennis has graced iconic stages like London’s Fabric and Drumsheds, sharing bills with notable acts like A-Trak, Loco Dice, Peggy Gou, Carlita, HoneyLuv, Questlove, Moodymann & more. Alongside features in Rolling Stone, Office Mag and Resident Advisor, Dennis’ influence stretches beyond the booth. As a founding force behind Brooklyn’s Level III Collective, the grassroots movement that started as a humble apartment party has now evolved into a multifaceted collective known for its vibrant, inclusive community of clubbers & music fans alike.

“Pedrose’s sets are defined by tension and movement.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Pedrose’s sets are defined by tension and movement. Blending the swing of classic NY-meets-Chicago house with the raw pulse of Miami bass and Brazilian club, he resists genre constraints but always keeps the floor in motion. Shaped by a Rio de Janeiro childhood spent absorbing bootleg Miami bass in the backseat of his uncle’s car, Pedrose’s musical education has always lived between cultures and formats. He came up DJing in Houston’s house circuit—mentored by DJ Sun and Malcolm Bravo—playing near-nightly through the pandemic. In college, he wrote his thesis on the legacy of the 808 Volt Mix in Brazilian dance music. Pedrose’s crate-digging is informed by this experience, tracing samples back to bootlegs and street-level circulation. 2025 has marked a breakout moment. He’s shared stages with Dennis Ferrer, Chloe Caillet, MU540, Nick León, Prospa, Carlita, and Patrick Mason, with standout B2Bs at Fabric (with Tommy Gold) and The EDGE NYC (with Dennis Free). He’s also brought his sound to fashion’s leading edges—DJing for Nike, New Balance, Loewe, Coperni, and Middle East Archive—and was featured in Stone Island Sound’s mix series on Apple Music. That same year, he was included in the DAZED 100 list. In NYC, he’s become a trusted selector in the underground scene. He co-founded Estúdio Junto, a collective uplifting Brazilian artists across music, design and film. Its AO VIVO party series has become a key space for diasporic club culture, hosting artists like VHOOR, Th4ys, and SIXX4SIXX and bridging baile, bass, and global underground sounds. Outside the booth, Pedrose is also a creative director and visual artist whose work spans Apple, Vogue, and Dior. Most recently, he led the creative direction for Apple’s Club Radio, a new 24/7 DJ platform, and continues to bridge design and music through his multidisciplinary studio practice. Now in full production mode, Pedrose is working on his debut releases—original tracks shaped by years of digging, deep listening, and diasporic dancefloor research.Recently at H0L0, Le Bain, DOM Lounge · often with MESA, CAMILLA, Cinthie, none of them here that night

Hailing from Chicago, CTRLZORA is an event (THE COWRIE) and music curator, producer, artist collective co-founder, DJ, musician, and dance music equitist from Chicago. They aim to contribute to keeping the electronica dance scene alive and soulful through house, techno, jazz, funk, world music, and more. CTRLZORA carries a sound that cannot be confused for anything short of authentic and raw, spanning from the furthest corners of Midwestern dance music all the way to the expansive sounds of the African diaspora and beyond, often collaborating with the creators of the original Warehouse and Music Box Chicago, and US Studios, prior to those. Paying homage to the history and liberation of music within communities of color across genres is their central focus, alongside perpetuating the tradition of house music in its originator, Chicago, and black and queer culture. They've spearheaded activism efforts to preserve historical venues of Chicago like The Post and The Warehouse, pushing to keep the integrity and history of the music's roots alive. They have also participated in panels and have been invited for lectures on the subject of Black Social and Cultural intersections in dance music and gatherings in the midwest and beyond. Mentored by the very architects of soulful house and techno, C Zora has frequently played and spoken at venues and on platforms such as Smartbar, The Lot Radio, the Silverroom Block Party, The Frankie Knuckles Festival, Chicago House Music Festival, Art Basel, Movement Detroit Weekend, University of Chicago, Public Records Brooklyn, Nowadays Brooklyn, The Post Chicago, The Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago Cultural Center, and various venues and radio stations throughout the city and beyond. Zora has also had the honor of playing and collaborating alongside greats such as Lil Louis, Juan Atkins, Gene Hunt, Glenn Underground, Musclecars, Timmy Regisford, Celeste Alexandar, and Ron Trent. Infusing their own spiritual associations with music, Zora aims to create an energy that brings somatic healing not only to themselves but also to their listeners. Quick to draw from the archives while blending with modern reiterations, Zora shares their open love letters to music and mutual sonic communion with every crowd.Recently at Green Room NYC, Dead Letter No. 9, public records · often with Stonie Blue, Colored Craig, Deon Jamar, none of them here that night

theoretic is Jersey-raised, Brooklyn-based DJ, producer, educator, & event curator entrenched in the beating heart of Brooklyn's underground music scene. Their sonic craft spans a fusion of House, Techno, Disco, NY Garage, Soul, & Black club music without limits, across borders. Whether spinning via digital waveforms, or from their vast record collection, their style is a symphonic medley that compels even the most restrained feet to move. theoretic currently holds residencies at beloved club ANIMAL, and a monthly radio show at Hi-Note Radio. They created the long-standing party series "House Anatomy" at Jupiter Disco for their former residency, and is now the creator & curator of an online DJ interview series "SCRIMMAGE." They've played for crowds at acclaimed venues such as Elsewhere, Eavesdrop, Le Bain, Good Room, Outer Heaven, Mood Ring, Nowadays, Earthly Delights, Cafe Erzulie, Soho House, & beyond. theoretic has also spread their talents internationally; they've contributed an all-vinyl set for the series My Analog Journal, played for the Hamburg festival Kampnagel, and shared decks with legends from A Guy Called Gerald, to Stacey "Hotwaxx" Hale. In addition, theoretic's music has been featured on acclaimed compilations, namely, "IYKYK" via the Brooklyn label Air Texture, that DJ Mag ranked as one of their "best compilations of 2024" their song mentioned as "the best tracks are the ones that feel like they are twisting genres inside out. On theoretic’s ‘Lucky LaWanda’, they take the icy melody of 8-bit grime and lay it over funky, swung house drum programming." They've also released on Madrid-based label, Others to the Front's first compilation, and in March of 2025, they released their first EP, Eponymous EP. To experience theoretic's fearlessly creative attitude, spend time inside their encyclopedic, yet unpretentious mixes; they've been featured on The Lot Radio, Balamii Radio, Newtown Radio, Lower Grand Radio, Playground Radio, & more. Their sonic odyssey breaks norms & melds genres; their goal is to be timeless.Their RA profile lists Air Texture and Others To The Front.Recently at Dead Letter No. 9, Xanadu, Million Goods · often with Niyah West, Tre D'Ambrocia, VARSHA, none of them here that night
