In the order the promoter listed them.

Set times were not published.

Listen explores the full spectrum of sound through music, field recordings, and sounds that were never made for the algorithm. Each session asks: What happens when a room full of people stop and listen because of what they’re hearing?

the rest of the promoter’s listing — 1 more paragraph

Dynoman is a NYC-based artist, producer, and DJ, by way of Karachi. He created Haal, a percussive, hypnotic, and evolving sound that serves as a gateway into the Hal state, an elevated state of mind. His sets are unique to the moment, unbound by genre, inspired by the flow and energy of the room, and intended to invite listeners into an altered sonic world. Co-running RFT, Tarka, and Karachi’s Forever South, he’s a key force in electronic music.

    the promoter, on that night

    “Over the years, his sound has evolved alongside his lived experience, remaining rhythm-forward, percussion-driven, and rooted in movement.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Living in Brooklyn by way of Karachi, Pakistan, Dynoman is widely credited as an instrumental figure in the formation and development of the Karachi underground and Pakistan’s electronic music scene. He has been producing electronic music under the Dynoman moniker since 2009, and co-founded Forever South, Pakistan’s first internationally recognized digital label, in 2012. Over the years, his sound has evolved alongside his lived experience, remaining rhythm-forward, percussion-driven, and rooted in movement. After relocating to New York in 2017, Dynoman founded Rare Frequency Transmissions, which he continues to co-run. He is a frequent presence in the Brooklyn underground and self-releases much of his work through Dynoman Music, showcasing a wide breadth of styles and approaches. When stepping into the booth, his sets are shaped by the moment rather than pre-planning, often unfolding without a fixed trajectory as he responds to the energy of the space and the room. In 2023, Dynoman co-founded Tarka, a project celebrating diaspora through artistic practice. In recent years, his work has increasingly explored rhythm, repetition, and shared states through sound, with live performances and recordings reflecting a deep engagement with percussion-led, future-facing approaches grounded in South Asian lineage.
