their own biography
the whole biography
Erik Luebs is a US-born musician and sound designer based in Japan. Eschewing typical genre tropes, Luebs approaches techno with a playfully disruptive technique, reinterpreting the fundamentals using built-from-scratch patches and labyrinthine sequencing. While the labor-intensive process is inspired by luminaries such as Mark Fell and Rrose, the resulting music is firmly tied to the dance floor. Luebs engages in minimal promotion, focusing his efforts instead on producing a series of monthly singles on Bandcamp. Through word of mouth, his unconventional approach to dance music has led to releases on labels such as The Bunker New York and performances at DJ Nobu's Future Terror party in Japan.Their RA profile lists Kompakt Extra, Non Series, Bitta, Nous'klaer Audio and 1 more.Recently at Nowadays, Reforestors Laboratory · often with Jump Source, Berghain, Perfo, none of them here that night

Ma Sha is a New York-based producer and DJ who has been active in the scene since 2017 when she co-founded event series - now a NYC staple - Kindergarten. Since then, she established a radio show which alongside the local Kindergarten crew, holds a monthly residency on The Lot Radio, as well as a record label that has won “Best Breakthrough Label” at the 2022 DJ Mag North America Awards. Focusing on cosmic club workouts with wigged-out rhythmic structures, the label “has become an essential outpost for hard-to-define, easy-to-dance-to club music in just two short years” [DJ Mag]; presenting “twisty, rowdy and unpredictable club music rooted in techno from both sides of the Atlantic” [Resident Advisor]. Apart from running Kindergarten Records, Ma Sha is currently focusing on her solo productions to present her take on experimental high-voltage dance music with a debut release coming out soon. However, Ma Sha is not a novice within the realm of production; as she has been active as half of the band Sha Ru who have been on the radar since their debut EP on Sorry Records in 2019, followed by releases on Infinite Machine, Pressure Dome, Progressive Future, Shubzin, Inveterate and of course, Kindergarten Records. Besides running the label, producing and performing domestically and internationally, Ma Sha is also a co-founder of Hone.Social, a free DJing workshop initiative providing a place to learn and practice within a casual and supportive environment.Their RA profile lists Rhythm Section International, Nervous Horizon, Steel City Dance Discs and Kindergarten Records.Recently at Nowadays, H0L0, Elsewhere · often with Sobolik, Verraco, Ayesha, none of them here that night

their own biography
the whole biography
Preacher’s Daughter is a DJ, sound artist, and writer whose practice is rooted in curation as storytelling. Guided by rhythm, tension, and release, her sets unfold patiently, allowing atmosphere, percussion, and emotional movement to shape the dance floor. Moving through rhythm, texture, and tension, she builds sets that carry lineage, politics, cultural memory, and a coherent emotional world. She builds immersive dancefloors that reward close listening as much as physical and internal movement. Her selections prioritize texture, negative space, and raw rhythmic energy, inviting dancers into moments of reflection, collective intensity, and transformation.Recently at Paragon, Newtown Radio, Jade · often with LTE, zabe, Astriks, none of them here that night
