the whole biography
LILLA is a DJ based in Brooklyn, NYC whose sets cross multiple genres including baile funk, jersey club, juke, amapiano and hard techno. She approaches DJing from the perspective of the dance floor, anticipating what grooves, mixes, and songs will keep the crowd’s energy high and introduce them to sounds they otherwise would not have been exposed to. She has played at a few of NYC’s most beloved venues, including Elsewhere, Bossa Nova Civic Club, and Mood Ring.Recently at Mood Ring, Jupiter Disco, Dead Letter No. 9 · often with ARMANA KHAN, Nadim Maghzal, SRI, none of them here that night
“One to watch.”

the whole biography
One to watch. Already booked and busy on international stages, SAMIA is taking over one dancefloor at a time. Of Algerian heritage, born in England, raised in the creative capital of Montreal, and has spent her adult years living in Korea and Mexico, one of the first things you'll notice from a SAMIA set is how she seamlessly includes a variety of genres and cultures to make an explosive mix of ass-shaking sound. You can expect a flawless blend of edits, reggaeton, baile funk, shatta, kuduro, batida, amapiano, latin club, salsa and more. When SAMIA says her sets consist of global sounds, she means it. Not boxed in by music scenes, SAMIA is the founder of versatile Porqueria Party, in which she prioritizes queer, female and POC DJs and artists. She is also a resident of Diaspora, arguably the most important collective for global sounds in Mexico and has played for other notable collectives: Fino Club, Yeti Out, Discoño, WeGoingSound, Frikiton, Link Up Worldwide, etc. Her radio takeovers all over the world include Diplo's Revolution (US), Rinse France (FR), Portalls (UK), Shift Radio (CA), Drama Radio (MX) and regular appearances on Pegate (MX). Recent festival highlights include playing at Axe Ceremonia, on the same lineup as heavy weights like Kendrick Lamar and Peggy Gou, as well as playing at official opening and after parties for Igloofest and Fuego Fuego Festivals. SAMIA wrapped a mini Canada tour with Richtanner and Bastian Bell in 2024. She has shared the stage with Nina Sky, Jael, Haivai B, Andre Power, Dos Flakos, Changing Currents and more. Next up on Samia's radar is Igloofest in Montreal, Canada.Recently at The Brooklyn Monarch, Elsewhere · often with ARMANA KHAN, Mansaf Mama, Fatin, none of them here that night

their own biography
the whole biography
Living in Brooklyn by way of Karachi, Pakistan, Dynoman is widely credited as an instrumental figure in the formation and development of the Karachi underground and Pakistan’s electronic music scene. He has been producing electronic music under the Dynoman moniker since 2009, and co-founded Forever South, Pakistan’s first internationally recognized digital label, in 2012. Over the years, his sound has evolved alongside his lived experience, remaining rhythm-forward, percussion-driven, and rooted in movement. After relocating to New York in 2017, Dynoman founded Rare Frequency Transmissions, which he continues to co-run. He is a frequent presence in the Brooklyn underground and self-releases much of his work through Dynoman Music, showcasing a wide breadth of styles and approaches. When stepping into the booth, his sets are shaped by the moment rather than pre-planning, often unfolding without a fixed trajectory as he responds to the energy of the space and the room. In 2023, Dynoman co-founded Tarka, a project celebrating diaspora through artistic practice. In recent years, his work has increasingly explored rhythm, repetition, and shared states through sound, with live performances and recordings reflecting a deep engagement with percussion-led, future-facing approaches grounded in South Asian lineage.Experimental on 1. styles on their catalogued releasesTheir RA profile lists Rare Frequency Transmissions.Recently at Silence Please, Le Bain, Million Goods · often with Bergsonist, Nabihah Iqbal, ZEEMUFFIN, none of them here that night
