the whole biography
Asha Jasz, a Polish-born vinyl enthusiast now based in Brooklyn, NY, has been passionate about music from a young age. A dedicated digger with an ever-growing collection of records, her infectious smile and vibrant energy light up dance floors wherever she plays. Asha’s sets take listeners on a journey through sound, influenced by the European music scene she grew up with, and seamlessly blended with newly discovered vinyl treasures from record shops around the globe. Her selections span underground house, techno, electro, minimal, and timeless classics, creating a sonic journey that bridges the past, present, and future. Asha also has a deep love for ambient and downtempo records, which she occasionally weaves into her performances for a unique touch. In addition to her DJing, Asha plays an integral role in Brooklyn Sway, a vinyl-only music label, and is a co-founder of Freshly Pressed, a music collective and event series focused on raising funds for music-oriented nonprofit organizations in the New York City area.Acid House on 1, House on 1, Minimal on 1 and Tech House on 1. styles on their catalogued releasesRecently at Apollo Studio, Signal · often with Jay Prouty, Connie, DeWinter, none of them here that night

their own biography
the whole biography
Mac Briggs is a Brooklyn-based DJ and producer who lives in the deeper, darker end of tech house. Percussive, dubby, and groove-heavy, his sound is built for floors that want to move without being pushed. An avid crate digger with a serious record collection, Mac goes deep in the bag. Vinyl is where he lives, and it shows in his selections -- rare cuts, forgotten gems, and tracks that hit harder because nobody in the room has heard them yet.Recently at MAD Radio NYC, Green Room NYC · often with RICCI, SIMMI, Erin Page, none of them here that night
