their own biography
the whole biography
IgP is a New York City based Afro House and Afro Tech selector and producer whose work sits at the intersection of rhythm, identity, and intention. With roots deeply embedded in the city’s underground scene, IgP has cultivated a sound that honors the global lineage of dance music while pushing toward a future that feels emotionally resonant, culturally grounded, and unmistakably personal. Known for curating immersive journeys rather than simply playing tracks, IgP’s sets move fluidly through soulful percussion, hypnotic basslines, textured synth work, and spiritual grooves. His approach to DJing is rooted in storytelling reading the room with care, building tension with patience, and releasing energy with purpose. Whether performing in intimate club settings or community-driven spaces, IgP creates environments where people feel seen, connected, and free. As a producer, IgP channels the same intentionality into his original work. His tracks explore the edges of Afro House and Afro Tech, blending emotional depth with forward-thinking sound design. Rather than chasing trends, his music focuses on mood, atmosphere, and authenticity often described as cinematic, introspective, and powerful on the dancefloor. Each release is treated as a statement of identity, not just a tool for the club. Beyond the music, IgP is building a distinctive creative world around his artistry. Under the name Prestoglobulin, he has developed a visual language inspired by immunology motifs (antibodies, helixes), Basquiat-style abstraction, and symbolic iconography such as the “IgP Crown” and recurring G-character. This cohesive aesthetic appears across his artwork, flyers, and branding, reinforcing the idea that IgP is not just a DJ, but a multidimensional creative project. Community remains central to everything he does. IgP is deeply invested in uplifting marginalized voices, cultivating safe and affirming spaces, and contributing meaningfully to the cultural fabric of NYC nightlife. Many of his event concepts integrate social impact, collaboration, and intentional gathering reflecting a belief that dance music can be both transformative and communal. With a growing catalog of original productions, a refined musical identity, and a clear artistic vision, IgP represents a new generation of selectors and producers: deeply rooted, emotionally intelligent, and unafraid to build something authentic from the ground up.Recently at Music For A While, The Crown, Elsewhere · often with Bruce Wayne, Phat Phrequencies, A Modest Orange, none of them here that night

“Coming from humble beginnings, Tim was unable to afford CD players.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Coming from humble beginnings, Tim was unable to afford CD players. He thus spent much of his growing up years collecting used cassettes, and in the early 2000s, he saved what little money he had to purchase his first pair of [pre-owned] CDJs, a basic two channel mixer, and taught himself how to mix. An avid fan of genres such as soul, funk, disco and deep house, Tim would listen to various artists and discover new music at his local record store. He considers Giorgio Moroder, Larry Heard, Kerri Chandler and Dennis Ferrer as his major musical influences. Tim incorporates several indigenous instruments to his productions, reflecting his tropical roots. He also adds atmospheric sounds to his compositions, resulting in a warm, laid-back and refreshing feel to electronic music. His work provides the listener a unique and uplifting experience, reminiscent of watching the sun rise on a pristine beach.Their RA profile lists 917 Records.Recently at Mr. Nancy’s, Rebecca's, Jupiter Disco · often with RICK E, In The Red, TORSK, none of them here that night
