Born in Ohio and raised by New York clubs, Cosmo is a shining modern representative of the city’s Golden Age of DJing, in skill, in spirit, and in sensibility. A forever student of 90s subcultures, Cosmo is now an authority in connecting those dots, decompartmentalizing genres during her sets and revitalizing the club as a much needed space for expression and joy. Cosmo may open a night with her early entry points to dance music, gospel and funk and vocal-heavy RnB, and proceed to blend break beats with new jack swing or old-school house with tribal—all delivered with remarkable clarity of voice and a sense of self that fueled her fated teenage move to New York to DJ over a decade ago. Being from the Midwest, her house music literacy circles its epicenters and favors groovy records, warm basslines, playful vocals, and elating instrumentals that stir the spirit. Her deep knowledge, cultural curiosity, and refreshing authenticity make Cosmo one of New York’s most in-demand DJs, a regular at the most iconic clubs and a Fashion Week party go-to. She is a resident at Public Records, where she can explore every inch of her collection and join forces with legends like Sandy Rivera as well as other torchbearing peers. She’s represented the city sharing the decks with her heroes like Honey Dijon and Mike Dunn, and on esteemed platforms such as Benji B’s BBC Radio 1 show and Luke Solomon’s Classic Music Company show. As a longtime resident at The Lot Radio, Cosmo gets the opportunity to share everything she cherishes and often includes parts of her CD and magazine archives. Music has soundtracked Cosmo’s every move. Her gratitude for her practice is apparent, and her effervescence behind the decks reaches the crowd no matter the size of the room—a musical hug that holds dancers through times good and bad.Recently at Signal, Pacha New York, Refuge · often with Eli Escobar, Donis, Hidden Spheres, none of them here that night

During their university years, DAY/DEM spearheaded DIY music events in Gainesville, FL, revitalizing the electronic music scene in the north Florida town. By throwing renegade events in storage units, record stores, and detached garages, the artist’s impact reverberated heavily throughout the community. Gatherings like these are where their love for the craft of music curation first sprouted as they turned these local spaces into sanctuaries for a tribe of music lovers. The electro savant now thrives in the unknown, wielding the power of selection and taste to transform dance floors at venues like Nowadays, Paragon, and Mansions in New York City, continuously molding their creative identity rooted in acid, dub techno, minimal and house. Their emotive presence aligns powerfully with artists they’ve opened for such as Dutch techno experimentalist Spekki Webu of Mirror Zone and Belgian pathfinder Rey Colino behind Kalahari Oyster Cult. Their musical palette is further revealed through productions via Compost Discs, Starry Records, and various self-releases. DAY/DEM is dynamic, intuitive, and creatively restless, quickly becoming a name that resonates far beyond the decks.
