AVISAAA! Representing the Brazilian state of Paraná, Clementaum aka LA MAYOR is an up-and-coming artist who is conquering the world with one of the greatest stage presences and personalities in the underground electronic music circuit.

In addition to being nominated Music Producer of the Year at the WME Awards Powered by Billboard, Clementaum has become a Boiler Room regular with her show at Primavera Sound Barcelona, which was highlighted as a key influence in the festival by WGSN, a global authority in trend forecasting.

Who said bass-weight music had to be relentlessly moody? DJ Plead absolutely understands what to dial in when for maximum soundsystem impact, and he does so with a zest that cuts through the murk. In his ebullient productions and dexterous DJ sets he radiates flamboyance and flair with swagger to match, all in pursuit of slaying the dance.

Growing up in Sydney and now based in Melbourne, Jarred Beeler broke through as a producer first and foremost with a debut drop on Air Max ‘97’s DECISIONS label in 2018. From the outset, he put his Lebanese heritage in the foreground both in terms of rhythm and melody. If distinctive Eastern scales and snappy, intricately threaded drum patterns have since become DJ Plead’s calling card, they came through fully formed on that first EP, dancing the divide between traditional musical motifs and precision-engineered electronics.

Plead also co-founded the SUMAC label alongside some of his peers from Australia’s contemporary club scene – LOGIC1000, Cassius Select, and Utility – and worked alongside Cop Envy (aka Big Ever) for a follow-up release on DECISIONS. Meanwhile, the sharp accents of his sound caught on internationally, landing releases on revered labels Nervous Horizon, AD93, and Livity Sound. The drums got defter, the lead hooks more sprightly, and in the tumultuous days of 2020, he was invited to indulge a broader dimension of his sound through the widely acclaimed Relentless Trills LP for Boomkat’s Documenting Sound series. The space beyond the confines of a club release revealed an artist still absolutely clear in his creative intentions, with those aforementioned Lebanese roots shining through more than ever across a range of tempos and timbres.

With such notable releases came an attendant rise in DJ Plead’s presence in the club. His approach to DJing serves as a natural extension of his studio artistry, folding his exclusives into the mix with the work of his peers and sympathetic sonics across the amorphous plains of modern dance music. There are shades of techno, house-like grooves, broken beat angles, and dubwise anchors, but never one dogmatic style other than Plead’s own. It’s a sound that has comfortably juiced up parties from fabled festivals like Dekmantel and Meakusma to iconic clubs such as Fabric, Space Miami, Yu Yu, and De School.

DJ Plead’s piquant sound continues to bloom in new and unexpected ways, consistently making the club a more interesting environment to inhabit by splitting the difference between finesse and fierceness, landing heavy blows while keeping light on his toes.

Italian producer and DJ, Ehua has been making waves since the release of her 2018 debut EP, ‘Diplozoon’.

Her recent releases include ‘Clouds EP' on 3024, ‘Aquamarine’ via Nervous Horizon, an EP inspired by the colour and motion of water, and ‘Giada’, a single part of Fabric Records’ V/A ‘Fabric Selects II’.

Away from club music, Ehua retains a life-long interest in the arts. She has composed various soundtracks for short and feature films, as well as for artistic performances. Ehua is part of SPAZIO GRIOT — a collective and influential online hub based in Rome focusing on arts from Africa and its diaspora.

Many of the silk screen designs are photoshop collages made from photos they have taken in Miami. Many of these designs are also seen in cover art for their music which is also designed by them.

Kia has a taste-making ear for digging, a sophisticated knack for storytelling, and a bubbling energy that draws people to her whether she’s backstage, behind the decks, or on the dance floor. The DJ and curator wields atmospheric and psychedelic sounds that produce entire pulsating worlds through the speakers and between global connections.

It’s proof that Kia has a knack for connecting worlds through her sets but also in real life. Her decidedly community-driven approach to her work has created a global network of forward-thinking producers. The platform influences spheres of the industry as much as it feeds and pushes her own musicality.

Her sets play out like a diary entry, showcasing creative honesty and a sense of catharsis. Kia’s sense of curiosity underpins the Animalia curation, her own musical style, and drives her ability to throw curveballs into the mix with instinct, confidence, and energy. At once, her music is futuristic, versatile, and experiential, and in a few short years has landed her well-respected international nods.

A deeply personal selector - with radars for the wacky, the moody and the lowercase - mi-el’s style is a deft balancing act, from sung soundscapes and explorations of her heritage to contemporary bass, electro, and vanguard electronics.

Those who’ve caught her live will know the former MOT booker and now NTS resident is apt to blur the thinning line between selector and sound artist, having torn up countless great nights, venues and festivals in just a few years: dare we say Panorama Bar, Field Manuevers, Boiler Room, De School, Big Dyke Energy and FOLD. It’s folk wisdom, almost a given at this point, that mi-el is killing it.

Rozaly is a young sonic practitioner, curator, researcher and DJ from Curaçao, who is committed to challenging traditional ideas surrounding Caribbean sounds and expanding the narratives that define them.

Versatile, resourceful, and with an edge of restlessness - elements that shape the limitless possibilities of multidisciplinary artist Spekki Webu. Hailing from the humble city of Delft in The Netherlands, the Mirror Zone head shapes an ever-expanding musical realm where past and present collide.

Formed by his involvement within the gabber and tekno movement, Webu cultivates a sound that can be described as persistent and ritualistic. Whether in his DJ sets, live performances, or music productions, he deconstructs time and space with fierce precision and tactility. With a natural tendency to challenge the status quo, his productions found a home on labels such as Amniote, Blue Hour, and Positive Source.

Webu can be described as a polymath. His sonic vision is translated through his Mirror Zone label / Optic Portal label. As a composer and sound designer, he traverses multidisciplinary dimensions with his Signal Transmutations AV project and spatial installations presented at places like Lunchmeat, FIBER, De School, and Nxt Museum.

High in energy but introspective in spirit, Spekki traverses the crossroads of experimentalism and rhythm in an avant-garde way.

Born and raised in Jordan, DJ and producer Yazan Zyadat, aka Toumba, is now based in London, where he fashions lithe club bangers that melt Middle Eastern elements with dubstep basslines and clattering breaks. Last year he experienced a flurry of interest when Ben UFO's Hessle Audio label released his "Petals" EP and Zyadat was able to broadcast his unique sounds on a larger platform. Tonally ambitious and deviously percussive, his music takes the essence of Arabic tarab and shelat forms (often seen as wedding music) and dilutes it in a dance floor- ready roil of booming bass and dissociated synths.

AD 93 / Whities is a London label run by Nic Tasker. What started with the intention of providing a platform for off-kilter techno has, in its four years, morphed into something looser and more eclectic while remaining committed to dance music.

The label has been lucky enough to find a space deviating between the compelling, floor-friendly offerings of Avalon Emerson, Lanark Artefax, Minor Science, Giant Swan, Tessela, Kowton, Terron, Koehler and SMX, and distinctive sounds of Jules Venturini, Quirke, Reckonwrong, and Coby Sey. Connecting all of them is a sense of musicality and peculiarity, and a commitment to emotion and rhythm. Whities has formed lasting relationships with many of the artists, working together on events and projects in art, film and fashion. Designer Alex McCullough, the man behind most of Whities artwork and beyond, has been equally as intrinsic to the label’s identity.

Records aside, Whities has been known to throw a good party. Establishing a solid grounding at The Yard in Hackney Wick, the parties have since gone worldwide, with DJs including Vladimir Ivkovic, Call Super, Bambounou, Courtesy, Skee Mask, Rroxymore, Galcher Lustwerk, John Talabot, Beatrice Dillon and Willow joining the regular label artists.

Incienso is a New York based label founded in 2017 by Anthony Naples and Jenny Slattery.
