the whole biography
DREAM stays pushing the boundaries of traditional zeitgeist, crafting stories in sound that change your perception in music with hypnotic mixing and unaplogelic blends. DREAM graces decks and clubs with sets bound to entrance. When he plays, the boundaries between DJ and listener collapse, and the room enters an erotic trance concocted by DREAM. You feel the change on the dance floor the moment he takes command. Weaving and sewing sonic tapestry from tearing bass lines and soaring synths, get ready to dissociate into a DREAM. Hailing from Miami, he touched his first set of CDJ’s. He instantly fell in love with the concept of making people move to high octane rhythms. Crafting electrifying soundscapes that transcend language. As a dreamweaver embracing a diverse spectrum of music, DREAM plays a variety of techno, EDM, ethreal beats, latin groove, electro, disco, eurodance, house, acid, dream trance, & breakbeat. DREAM quickly found success in his hometown, and after an iconic series of mixes, he decided it was time to conquer another one of Dance Music’s Capitals, New York City. Changing his stage name from ‘DREAMINSLOW’ to ‘DREAM‘ during his move, he transitioned and birthed a new persona for himself. From intimate venues to expansive stages, his time in New York has been a nonstop spiral. Even though DREAM left Miami, he hasn’t lost a single bit of the heat that carried him through. Playing his signature blends in the esteemed electronic music institutions of New York, his notoriety has exponentially grown since his arrival there. Having set up an eclectic house of ecstasy here in the United States, he now intends to embark on a journey across nations, to bring his trademark sound to begging ears and fans. DREAM remains committed to pioneering sonic landscapes, continuously redefining possibilities within electronic music.Recently at Bossa Nova Civic Club, H0L0, Paragon · often with Muerte Lenta, Latino Drive, Alexis Jae, none of them here that night

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.
