    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Originating from pulsating rhythms and driven by an unrelenting passion for sound exploration, Ana Rs stands out as both a versatile producer and an eclectic DJ. Ana made a significant mark with her 2023 EP "Take Me There" on Ben Sims’s iconic Symbolism imprint, solidifying her presence on the international stage. Her sound has continued to evolve, diving deeper into the hypnotic and experimental realms of techno techno marked by tension, weight, and intricate detail. In June 2024, she released "In the Warmth of the Red Lights" on SEMANTICA, Svreca’s influential label - a release that reflects her growing influence within the genre. By June 2025. she debuted on Float Records with Not Yet Born, But Heard, a four-track EP showcasing her distinct approach to techno. Her discography also includes labels such as Illegal Alien Records, Observant, Ac55id and Future Arikive, with more exciting announcements lined up for this year. Beyond the studio, Ana has established herself as a global artist, performing across Europe, Asia, South America at respected venues such as RSO Berlin, Vent Tokyo, Dommune, Garden Club, Drugstore club & many more. She is also the creative force behind Interakt events - a platform through which she challenges norms and curates forward-thinking experiences in the electronic music scene. Her path has always been about progression - from her early days of joyful experimentation in DJing and production to her current status as an artist shaping the future of experimental techno through bold collaborations and boundary-pushing sounds.

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Texas-born and Brooklyn-based, Henry Chow has spent nearly three decades embedded in the underground, moving dance floors with raw, mood-driven techno and house. A lifelong crate digger, his sound leans heavy on tension, groove, and restraint—built for dark rooms and long nights. As a DJ, Chow’s reputation has carried him to international stages and key venues across the U.S., including regular appearances at The Great Beyond (US). In Houston, Chow co-founded Crossroads, then one of Texas’ longest-running dance parties. The series became a proving ground for uncompromising international and regional artists alongside deeply rooted local talent, helping shape a sustainable, late-night culture. After arriving in Brooklyn in 2017, Chow re-established Crossroads with a series of events at the now defunct TBA Brooklyn. Years later Chow teamed up with Dianna Loevner, Samuel FIsh, and Dyllon Young to help create the underground outfit Mizz Softee. In the studio, Chow first cut his teeth in the early 2000s, releasing an EP on Marco Carola's seminal techno imprint, Zenit. Followed by original and remixes on labels such as Genetic Recordings, Thoughtless Music, Harmonious Discord and Abiotic. Dug from the past and locked into the present, Henry Chow delivers music that’s physical and meant to be felt.
