Good to know
- “Commuting between the energetic vibes of NYC and her beloved Honolulu, she curated the atmosphere at Bevy, a popular cocktail discotheque in Kaka'ako with a 100-person capacity.”
Hailing from the Pacific Ocean, DJ/producer Timo Lee. Now she lives in Brooklyn, play at many nightclubs including Good Room and on The Lot Radio. She is the curator for Good Bar’s vinyl sessions, label boss of Chomp! Chomp! Records and Bevy in Honolulu.
Timo Lee emerged her background in Honolulu and Taipei. From early childhood, Timo has kept her ear to the speaker, fingers tapping to the rhythm. A child of the 90’s, she was weaned on rave culture’s pulsing electronic beats. As the 2000’s progressed, her tastes evolved as she embraced underground disco, house, electronica.
Her love for music manifested in a remarkable way as she hosted a three-hour weekly radio show on KTUH Honolulu for eight years. During this time, Timo shared the stage with a constellation of talented DJs, including luminaries like DJ Harvey, Bonobo, James Murphy, Thomas Bullock, DJ Garth, Tiger and Woods, Daniele Baldelli, Tim Sweeney, and many others at thirtyninehotel. She also served as the club's booker for six years, actively shaping the local dance scene in Hawaii.
In 2014, Timo took her talents to the bustling streets of Brooklyn, NY. Commuting between the energetic vibes of NYC and her beloved Honolulu, she curated the atmosphere at Bevy, a popular cocktail discotheque in Kaka'ako with a 100-person capacity. Timo's presence in the New York music scene has been significant, with regular performances at iconic venues such as Good Room, The Lot Radio, and various nightclubs across the city. Timo wears multiple hats as the curator of "Wax the Van," a weekly all-vinyl session at Good Bar. Since 2020, she has also led Chomp! Chomp! Records, showcasing diverse artists in the underground dance music scene.
2023 marks two decades of Timo's music journey. Her sets are a testament to her eclectic and diverse taste, seamlessly blending different genres to keep audiences tapping fingers and bobbing heads. Timo Lee believes that music should evoke emotions from within, and she approaches it with an ethos that knows no limits.
A native NY DJ, selector, and party-thrower.
UMA DJ is a NYC-born selector raised on international dance floors and underground parties. Influenced by Chicago + NY house, dub, disco, and the history of rave culture, she has an old-school soul and future-forward spirit. You can typically find her in notable venues such as Good Room, Nightmoves, Last Saturday Dance (LSD), and Monsieur, as well as throwing her own Summer Soirée parties in Brooklyn. Outside of New York, she’s played in numerous cities spanning Europe, Asia, Australia, the Caribbean, and the US. From playing Magick City and Dope Jams at age 15 to thumping dance floors around the world at 23, she steers the ride that is transcendent dance and good-lovin' fun.
