their own biography
the whole biography
CYNICAL seeks to captivate his audience and take listeners on a journey with his sound. His sets have versatility and range, pulling inspiration from different sounds and genres. A consistent homogeneous shift of energy. CYNICAL redefines the confines and tradition of genres seeking to create a paradox with highly contrasting sounds mixing the elegant with the heavy and rugged. CYNICAL is fresh in the NYC Techno scene making his debut at a renegade rave in late 2024.Now being a key part of emerging collective ESOTEK he’s here to stay and develop the scene and his sound. Stay on the lookout for his releases soon. This NY Native isn’t to be counted out.Recently at Bossa Nova Civic Club, Rash · often with MakeOutHill, Fortissimo, DREAMINSLOW, none of them here that night

FORMERLY KNOWN AS LETHAL TRIP, SHE BUILT HER NAME BY CURATING QPOC AND LGBTQ+ CENTERED RAVES THAT PUSHED BEYOND NIGHTLIFE INTO SITES OF RESISTANCE AND LIBERATION. HER UNCOMPROMISING DJ SETS;EQUAL PARTS CONFRONTATIONAL AND SEDUCTIVE,HAVE PLACED HER ALONGSIDE LSDXOXO, JULIANA HUXTABLE, AND JIMMY EDGAR, WITH APPEARANCES STRETCHING FROM MULTIPLE CITIES LIKE BERLIN, MONTREAL & OF COURSE NYC. AS A PROUD LATINA RASIED IN NEW JERSEY, GUILLOTINE GREW UP IN A HOUSEHOLD WHERE MUSIC WAS SACRED. IT WAS A DAILY ACT OF EXPRESSION, SURVIVAL AND JOY. THAT EARLY CONNECTION STILL FUELS HER WORK, BRIDGING PERSONAL HISTORY WITH COLLECTIVE LIBERATION. DURING THE PANDEMIC SHE JOINED THE ANONYMOUS COLLECTIVE SHLVES, STEPPING INTO THE ROLE OF SINGER-SONGWRITER WHILE CO-SCORING PETER DO’S SS23 SHOW, A TURN THAT MARKED HER EVOLUTION INTO COMPOSITION AND FASHION-WORLD COLLABORATION. IN 2025, GUILLOTINE’S TRAJECTORY INTERSECTED WITH ANNE IMHOF’S DOOM, CEMENTING HER AS A PRESENCE IN EXPERIMENTAL ART AND PERFORMANCE. HER DEBUT EP CHANNELS THAT HISTORY INTO SOMETHING STARKLY INTIMATE: MUSIC POISED BETWEEN CONTROL AND COLLAPSE, HAUNTED BY THEMES OF DEATH, IDENTITY, AND MENTAL FRACTURE. DRAWING FROM FILM, PERFORMANCE, AND MEMORY, SHE CONSTRUCTS A SONIC WORLD THAT FEELS BOTH VULNERABLE AND EXACTING;A MIRROR TO THE INTERIOR CHAOS BEHIND THE MYSTERY.Recently at Paragon, Bossa Nova Civic Club, Drom · often with BASSBEAR!!, Lethal Trip, BEARCAT, none of them here that night

the whole biography
Djgothqueen is a rising force in Brooklyn’s underground techno scene, known for delivering relentlessly hard, distorted Schranz and Hard Tekno sets that push the limits of sound and stamina. A proud trans woman and fearless selector, she’s carved out a space with her uncompromising style—raw, industrial, and high-impact—with occasional dips into hypnotic and groove-driven techno to keep crowds locked in. She’s shared lineups with heavyweights like OnlyNumbers, Don Woezik, Kristyle, Death Code, Anime, Gianni Di Bernardo, and more, proving her place among the next wave of techno disruptors. As Schranz Nation grows louder every day, Djgothqueen is on the verge of a major breakthrough—one set at a time. Booking = guaranteed chaos.Recently at Rash, H0L0, 20 Meadow · often with Rapture, CRYFXB, Fortissimo, none of them here that night

New York City native Hardkore has been making waves in the NYC underground since 2017, setting off techno and gabber bombs on unsuspecting crowds in the city’s best clubs and grimiest warehouses. As a main brain behind rave collectives Nosferatu and Anonymous Club, Hardkore builds bridges between the city’s forward-thinking fashion and techno scenes, culminating in the most talked-about parties of the past few years. Hardkore has also collaborated with Barcelona-based Toro Collective, bringing their debaucherous party to popular Brooklyn venue Heaven, and holds a residency at Lower East Side mainstay Home Sweet Home. Recently, he has played standout sets at beloved NYC collective Club Cakes’ forest rave, Flirt (HTX), and Bossa Nova Civic Club, where he dared to throw the best party of 2022 on the second-to-last day of the year.Recently at Bossa Nova Civic Club, H0L0, LoHi · often with DREAMINSLOW, Via App, sodomahigomorra, none of them here that night
