    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Influenced by stripped-back techno, early electronica, and industrial music, Megan Rosengarten's style blends precision with abrasion. Growing up as a classical musician and dancer, she gravitated toward instrumental and ambient music. As she began exploring underground music scenes and live events, her curiosity developed into a fascination with techno. Behind the decks, she curates immersive sonic experiences that oscillate between restraint and release, slicing through tension with cold, synthetic drones. Focused on atmospheric texture, her sound has a dark edge inspired by surging, metallic vibrations and electric shocks. In the summer of 2025, she studied Sound Design for Visual Media at Catalyst Institute of Creative Arts and Technology, where she produced "Double Vision" an installation exploring sensory isolation through sound and spatial design. Megan Rosengarten has created sets for Brooklyn based mix series Mild Fantasy as well as InSeries, the monthly mix series of Berlin-based collective Inline. She has also performed for Dead Inside Society on The Lot Radio.

    their own biography

    the whole biography

  • Wren's Lullaby

    New York City · 22 bookings since Apr 2024

    “Wren’s Lullaby is multimedia artist and DJ based in New York City.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Wren’s Lullaby is multimedia artist and DJ based in New York City. Her sets rise out of the shadows of queer nightlife, crafted with intention and care, fusing emotional resonance with rhythmic complexity. Whether in a smoke-filled basement, a warehouse rave, or a late-night bar booth, Wren builds immersive sonic worlds, ritualistic, cinematic, and often haunted. Her selections are shaped by a broad and nonlinear palette drawing from minimal techno, dark ambient, industrial textures, and the forgotten corners of the internet. Wren isn’t interested in genre for genre’s sake; instead, she curates with feeling. Her sound moves between tenderness and tension, layering dissonance and stillness into sets that are less about climax and more about sustained atmosphere. She’s known for long, textural builds and emotionally raw transitions, inviting dancers into spaces that feel intimate, distorted, and alive. Wren, and respective party: CMPLTLYGONE, have become a recurring figure in NYC’s underground since 2024, performing at queer-centric venues like Rash, Bossa Nova Civic Club, and Talon, as well as community-run events and warehouse parties throughout Brooklyn. Her presence on lineups often signals an intentional mood; events that center femme rage, trans joy, grief, resistance, and the subversion of normative dancefloor expectations. She’s shared space with a growing network of artists committed to radical nightlife—ones who know that safety, pleasure, and politics are inseparable. Off the decks, Wren is a multidisciplinary artist and researcher whose work spans video, text, and sound. Her practice focuses on memory, embodiment, queer archives, and the afterlives of club spaces. Her DJ alias, Wren’s Lullaby, echoes the emotional throughline of her sets: a sonic offering that is both comforting and unnerving. A lullaby for those still fighting to dream. Bookings and collaborations are welcome via Instagram DM (@wren1slullaby), especially from those cultivating queer, DIY, and intentional nightlife spaces.
