Focusing on cosmic club workouts with wigged-out rhythmic structures, the label “has become an essential outpost for hard-to-define, easy-to-dance-to club music in just two short years” [DJ Mag]; presenting “twisty, rowdy and unpredictable club music rooted in techno from both sides of the Atlantic” [Resident Advisor]. Apart from running Kindergarten Records, Ma Sha is currently focusing on her solo productions to present her take on experimental high-voltage dance music with a debut release coming out soon. However, Ma Sha is not a novice within the realm of production; as she has been active as half of the band Sha Ru who have been on the radar since their debut EP on Sorry Records in 2019, followed by releases on Infinite Machine, Pressure Dome, Progressive Future, Shubzin, Inveterate and of course, Kindergarten Records.

Heavily influenced by innovators such as Throbbing Gristle and Floorplan, their productions encapsulated sounds that were inspired by the UK and Detroit, and were complimented with live spoken word. After moving to Berlin in 2016, they transitioned from performance art to DJing, where their sets on HÖR facilitated their breakthrough as a DJ. Having drawn inspiration from early industrial and techno pioneers, x3butterfly’s sets retain a raw and ominous quality, with a club twist. Prioritizing the eclectic, they often aim to take listeners on a story-telling journey while simultaneously keeping them on the dance floor. Their sets combine jungle, drum and bass, R&B, dubstep, techno, and other world sounds at 140-160 BPM. x3butterfly has played in various clubs in Mexico, Germany, Denmark, Greece, as well as a multitude of cities in the US. They have quickly become a rising NYC star, DJing notorious NYC venues such as Bossa Nova, Mood Ring, and Nowadays.

the whole biography
Born in Diadema, greater São Paulo, it was in Londrina where Roniere Santos actually began his DJ career in 2010. From his experience in the neighborhood came the influence of Brazilian rhythms and syncopated elements. RHR, now based in São Paulo, takes a careful look at his ideas in electronic music. Hence the invitation for a monthly residency on French radio Rinse FM with the program “Som Sistema”. Defined by himself: percussive soundscapes form the combination that is gaining more and more space in the music scene in Brazil and around the world. Always seeking to understand the stimuli of São Paulo, the artist continues to expose research in multiple genres such as techno, bass, dancehall, electro, baile funk. He has participated in line ups such as Mamba Negra, Tantsa, Dekmantel Festival SP, ODD, Gop Tun Festival and DGTL SP. One of the highlights of RHR's career was his debut at Boiler Room São Paulo in August 2022. With five solo EPs released and one in partnership with North American Danny Daze, Roniere is preparing for a new release where he intends to share his artistic talents even more. In addition to partnerships with labels such as Omnidisc, Pac Recs and Nice and Deadly, RHR is an integral part of the NY-based label TIJOLO Records. Recognized for the precision of transitions and the creativity behind the choices made, RHR illustrates like few others the discomfort with the obvious. The ability to reinvent yourself in the midst of a wave of creative burnout makes RHR a potentially liberating force. All this without losing the artist’s characteristics, references and ideas. We can say that RHR has achieved everything without giving up anything.Their RA profile lists Dekmantel, Omnidisc, Live From Earth and Nice & Deadly.Last at Nowadays in Jan · often with MONEYAMA, Skrillex, upsammy, none of them here that night

"In the daring sonic fiction of JP López, the Medellín artist collides in his productions and DJ sets techno, latin-influenced tribal, hyper-electronica, carefully crafted IDM and cutting-edge dembow-bass technology with both intensity and precision. Verraco is also one of the heads behind the groundbreaking TraTraTrax, label that has become a key platform for Latinx sound explorers in recent years. With the future classic Escándaloo EP on VOAM out in Summer 2023, RA and Crack Magazine lauded the record as one of the best of the year. In 2024, the Colombian artist's debut on Bristol's stalwart Timedance with 'Breathe... Godspeed' was unanimously acclaimed by the press, with the EP being awarded Pitchfork Best New Music, described by renowned journalist Philip Sherburne as "an essential record for the vanguard of dance music". In 2025, he signed with the legendary UK label XL Recordings for a three-tracker EP. In addition to having important recurring appearances at clubs and festivals such as Dekmantel, Berghain or Berlin Atonal, Verraco also launched his own party in Bogotá also called Escándaloo, which has been sold out on all occasions and has brought to his country for the first time the likes of Skee Mask, Batu, Pariah, Livwutang among others." ~ Outer Agency.Their RA profile lists XL Recordings, Timedance, Voam and TraTraTrax.Recently at BASEMENT, Paragon, Nowadays · often with Berghain, Pariah, Gabrielle Kwarteng, none of them here that night

the whole biography
Born in 1980 in Montevideo, Uruguay, and currently based in Mallorca, Nicolas Lutz has forged a solid identity, wrapped in a carefully sustained aura of mystery and shaped through thousands of hours of obsessive research, digging deep into the darkest corners of underground electronic music. Far from noise and unnecessary exposure, his figure has been built through intuition, deep exploration, and a ritualistic relationship with music, where each record functions as a tool for profound personal work that translates into a powerful impact on the dancefloor. Today, with nearly three decades behind the decks and a collection marked by an inexplicable DNA, he has established himself as a cult selector — a romantic of darkness and a creator of hypnotic atmospheres capable of transforming the energy of any space. His sets carry a free-flowing poetry that is felt from the very first moment: a journey moving from darkness into light, shedding masks and allowing his emotional state to surface through sound. He plays only what he truly knows and loves, losing track of time as hours turn into entire nights where genre becomes irrelevant [techno, electro, house, breakbeat, IDM, ambient or new wave], all secondary to something more honest and mysterious. Nico lets the records almost choose themselves, guided by instinct, weaving together deep and powerful frequencies capable of transforming those open to the moment. Even for him, the outcome is never fully predictable — and that’s where part of the magic lies. This intense relationship with music is grounded in impeccable technique. Thousands of hours of practice, a deep understanding of the structure and energy of each record, and absolute control of EQ grant him total freedom when mixing. The result is improbable combinations, unique transitions, and moments that feel guided by something beyond rational thought. In 2014, he founded My Own Jupiter, a label that quickly became a key underground reference and a fundamental platform for projecting the Uruguayan sound internationally, creating deep connections between artists. After a decade of intense work, the project closed its cycle, leaving behind a solid catalogue and a community that continues to orbit around that experience.often with Curated by, Vlada, Sound Metaphors Djs, none of them here that night

“Eris Drew is a DJ, producer and trans ecstatic from Chicago.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Eris Drew is a DJ, producer and trans ecstatic from Chicago. She runs the T4T LUV NRG recording label with her loving b2b partner Octo Octa from a log cabin in New Hampshire. Together, they are BBC Radio 1 residents for the 2020 Spring/Summer season. Eris is a recording artist for her own label, Interdimensional Transmissions (Detroit) and Naive Records (Lisbon). She conducts the Psychedelic Rites of the Motherbeat with her friends at Pittsburgh's Hot Mass and at Room 4 Resistance in Berlin. Eris has been playing and programming keyboards since she was a child. A long-time resident at Chicago's Smart Bar and DJ for the Bunker NY, she starting mixing records in 1994 at the age of 18. Her experiences as a musician and dancer showed her that rave is a powerful apparatus which can be used to transform individual lives and communities. In an effort to contextualize the rave experience, Eris gives talks around the world on the connections between dance music culture and other ecstatic traditions such as shamanism. In addition, she is an advocate for trans/non-binary/queer people and mentors aspiring DJs and electronic musicians. When Eris was 18 she had an intensely disruptive spiritual awakening. House music cracked her open and revealed a mystery contained within sound. This “Motherbeat”—as she would call it—was first beheld by Eris following a rave in 1994 at Chicago’s Oak Street Theater. She has helped Eris to heal, create art and find her friends for over 23 years. Motherbeat is a fundamental primordial pulsation; a whispering geometric wind with the power to heal; the archetype of a goddess ascending. She is there to remind us that: I. Ritual dance music has been here since the beginning, before historical time. II. Each of us is made for better things than the cultural download we receive provides. III. We can use the music as a technology to unlock our bodies, dissolve boundaries and models, and find each other.Their RA profile lists Interdimensional Transmissions, Needs (not-for-profit), Naive, T4T LUV NRG and 2 more.Recently at Nowadays, Knockdown Center, BASEMENT · often with Immy, Mike Servito, ferrari rot, none of them here that night
