A consistent homogeneous shift of energy. CYNICAL redefines the confines and tradition of genres seeking to create a paradox with highly contrasting sounds mixing the elegant with the heavy and rugged. CYNICAL is fresh in the NYC Techno scene making his debut at a renegade rave in late 2024.Now being a key part of emerging collective ESOTEK he’s here to stay and develop the scene and his sound. Stay on the lookout for his releases soon.

“Wren’s Lullaby is multimedia artist and DJ based in New York City.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Wren’s Lullaby is multimedia artist and DJ based in New York City. Her sets rise out of the shadows of queer nightlife, crafted with intention and care, fusing emotional resonance with rhythmic complexity. Whether in a smoke-filled basement, a warehouse rave, or a late-night bar booth, Wren builds immersive sonic worlds, ritualistic, cinematic, and often haunted. Her selections are shaped by a broad and nonlinear palette drawing from minimal techno, dark ambient, industrial textures, and the forgotten corners of the internet. Wren isn’t interested in genre for genre’s sake; instead, she curates with feeling. Her sound moves between tenderness and tension, layering dissonance and stillness into sets that are less about climax and more about sustained atmosphere. She’s known for long, textural builds and emotionally raw transitions, inviting dancers into spaces that feel intimate, distorted, and alive. Wren, and respective party: CMPLTLYGONE, have become a recurring figure in NYC’s underground since 2024, performing at queer-centric venues like Rash, Bossa Nova Civic Club, and Talon, as well as community-run events and warehouse parties throughout Brooklyn. Her presence on lineups often signals an intentional mood; events that center femme rage, trans joy, grief, resistance, and the subversion of normative dancefloor expectations. She’s shared space with a growing network of artists committed to radical nightlife—ones who know that safety, pleasure, and politics are inseparable. Off the decks, Wren is a multidisciplinary artist and researcher whose work spans video, text, and sound. Her practice focuses on memory, embodiment, queer archives, and the afterlives of club spaces. Her DJ alias, Wren’s Lullaby, echoes the emotional throughline of her sets: a sonic offering that is both comforting and unnerving. A lullaby for those still fighting to dream. Bookings and collaborations are welcome via Instagram DM (@wren1slullaby), especially from those cultivating queer, DIY, and intentional nightlife spaces.Recently at Bossa Nova Civic Club, Talon Bar, The Sultan Room · often with Megan Rosengarten, TS Julien, Tailz, none of them here that night
