“Makadsi continues to impress.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Makadsi continues to impress. This Brooklyn-based DJ/Producer, hailing from Zahle Lebanon, owns the underground scene with his signature sound merging Arabic influences over cross-genre sets. He is a resident and co-founder of FUNCTION, a space where he has cultivated a dance floor that honors the natural, vibrant diversity of New York City. NY’s BASEMENT dubbed Makadsi as the “rave activator”. 2025 saw Makadsi deepen his footprint across Europe. He returned to Glastonbury for a second year, this time on the IICON stage, and debuted at Horst Arts & Music Festival in Belgium. Summer took him from Honey Dijon's Chinois in Ibiza to Geggen x Pornceptual for Berlin Pride, Body Movements in London, the main stage at Madrid's MADO Pride, and Adonis for London Pride. French-German network ARTE profiled him for their Tracks series, spotlighting how he threads Arabic divas through techno beats. Back stateside, he played in the iconic Texas room for the 4th Annual Wire Festival in Brooklyn, NY further cementing his role in the heart of the city's underground. 2024 was no less impressive, with Makadsi’s debuts in Ibiza at Palmarama, Glastonbury Festival's iconic NY Downlow stage, Berlin's Pornceptual, Honey Dijon’s House Nation in Brooklyn, and NITSA's 30th birthday in Barcelona. 2023 was nothing short of monumental for Makadsi, taking FUNCTION on the road alongside Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour. As the Creative Director and architect for the Renaissance album and Renaissance World Tour, he booked opening DJ acts featuring familiar darlings of the Queer Underground scene (Arca, Shygirl, and more). He ended the tour with his own opening set for Beyoncé's last show in Kansas City. Topping off the year, Makadsi opened for Madonna’s Celebration Tour in Brooklyn.Recently at Signal, Qncc, BASEMENT · often with Sterling Juan Diaz, FASHION, Markus, none of them here that night

“Bézier is a ripple.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Bézier is a ripple. Bézier is a synth-organic proto-techno trip: an analog vision of club-floor futures, a journey of kinetic movement through embodied sound. You might know Robert Yang from Berlin, his home base since 2018, where you'll find him disseminating the electric catechism in places like Zur Klappe, a former subway toilet transformed into an underground nightclub. Or you might know him from his previous home, San Francisco, where he spent 14 years as a core member of the queer DJ collective Honey Soundsystem. Yang and the Honey crew threw a party every Sunday night for five years in a row—that's 260 parties, but who's counting?—and toured the globe, while running an eponymous record label that released music by Patrick Cowley, Octo Octa, Vin Sol, and beyond. Or you might know him simply as Bézier, the alias through which he's issued a dozen-plus records of livewire dance music crafted from rippled synths, crackling drums, and a songwriter's knack. Bézier's sound is the product of a lifelong obsession with electronic music. Experiments with MIDI on the family computer and DIY synth repair exposed Yang to synthesis at an early age. That led to a teenage obsession with Autechre and Björk, among others, and undergraduate courses in computer music. Finally came the accumulation of gear, vintage and modern, that powers Yang's sound design. Today, Bézier's tracks are tighter, more focused, and more dialed-in than ever. That's the result of the confidence Yang has earned as a producer and artist—the ability to pay attention to the things that matter and ignore what doesn't. These days, Bézier is back in the studio and at work on his own record label: Körperspannung, or K-SPAN for short. The phrase is German for "body tension"—a phrase Yang's partner Lennard, aka Len.Leo, would use to remind Yang to embody himself as an independent gay Asian musician, to stay strong, to be proud. That sums up the label's ethos: a celebration of creative electronic expression from within the gay community, and a home for music that steps outside the box and blurs the lines. After over 15 years in the game, that's Bézier's ethos, too. All you need to do is listen.Their RA profile lists Dark Entries, HNYTRX, Honey Soundsystem, Cin Cin and 6 more.Recently at BASEMENT, Softee Paradise, public records · often with electroponce, BrthrMidnyt, ACID BOGEN, none of them here that night
“Concrete Husband is a NYC-based producer, DJ, composer, and flutist whose work bridges hypnotic techno, contemporary composition, and surrealist sound design.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Concrete Husband is a NYC-based producer, DJ, composer, and flutist whose work bridges hypnotic techno, contemporary composition, and surrealist sound design. His forward-thinking dance records Piel and Pelvic Resonance, released on White Owl Records, received critical acclaim, with Document Journal describing his music as “redefining avant-garde composition.” Educated at New England Conservatory, he draws on a deep knowledge of musical history to create emotionally charged sonic narratives that blur the line between the sensual and the uncanny. His DJ sets move through hypnotic grooves and psychological tension. A fixture of the Brooklyn techno scene, he has been seen countless times at BASEMENT, Paragon, and Knockdown Center, as well as at WIRE Festival and Merge. He is a resident of the Mexico City collective Pervert. As a composer and flutist, he merges virtuosic performance with experimental approaches to sound. Integrating live flute into his work, he has developed a singular performance language that led Eartheater to invite him to open her 2024 international tour, alongside a headline debut at Silent Green. His compositions have been presented at Amant, MoMA PS1, Museum of Modern Art, MUNCH, and Palazzo Reale. He has also scored Dion Lee’s Shanghai Fashion Week presentation and contributed flute compositions to the A24 film Beau Is Afraid. Most recently, he released the experimental project "Where The Ashes Glow" on NNA Tapes.Techno on 2, Afrobeat on 1, Art Rock on 1 and Ethereal on 1. styles on their catalogued releasesReleased on White Owl Records (3) (2) and Gonzo Circus (1); their RA profile also lists NNA Tapes and White Owl Records. labels on their catalogued releases and on their RA profileRecently at 3 Dollar Bill, Bossa Nova Civic Club, 99 Scott Ave · often with Juana, Ne/Re/A, VILE, none of them here that night
