Greg Broussard p.k.a Egyptian Lover, is a pioneering hip-hop musician, producer and DJ.
Revered as a master of the Roland TR-808, in 2024 he celebrates four decades of pushing drum machines, synthesizers and turntables to their limits while imbuing hip-hop beats with the spirit of funk and the spark of electro.
Broussard first stepped on stage as a DJ, playing across LA alongside Ice-T with hip-hop crew Uncle Jamm’s Army before beginning his recording career in 1982. Drawing influence from the electric energy of Prince and the futurism of Kraftwerk, he released visionary singles like ‘Egypt, Egypt’ and ‘Freak-A-Holic’ that merged electrofunk and hip-hop, quickly becoming staple cuts for DJs across America.
Continuing to release a series of LPs throughout the ‘80s and ‘90s before taking a break from the music scene, he made a return in the new millennium, releasing an anthology on the cult hip-hop label Stones Throw, performing dates with M.I.A. and reaffirming his reputation as an innovative artist and an electrifying performer: he’s since put on acclaimed live performances and DJ sets at some of the most coveted venues and festivals in the world, as well as releasing several viral Boiler Room moments.
Egyptian Lover released a new album ‘1985’ in 2018, along with the follow up LP ‘1986’ in 2021 on his long-running label Egyptian Empire, both to critical acclaim. Since these releases, he has continued to treat fans to a variety of electrifying singles and remixes, while bringing his unique hybrid live performance - featuring his coveted 808 drum machine, vinyl selections and live vocals - to the likes of Berghain Berlin DE, Lux Fragil Lisbon PT, Printworks London UK, Kappa FuturFestival Turin IT, Polifonic Festival Puglia IT, Fabric London UK, Blå Oslo NO, Kaiku Helsinki FI, Frankhan Istanbul TK and C12 Brussels BE.

Stimulator Jones, aka Samuel Lunsford, is most comfortable jamming in his home studio to some of the soul, disco, dub and R&B tracks that have influenced him over the years. He particularly loves to sing along to “You Are My Starship” by Norman Connors, perform slap bass with The Brothers Johnson and play laidback beats in his bathrobe. A singer and instrumentalist, Lunsford was born, raised, and still lives among the nature and wildlife of Roanoke, VA. “Soon Never Comes” was his debut on Stones Throw.
------------
From hip hop to hippie to straight up house head, Elliott’s life has always revolved around listening to, learning about, digging for and experiencing music. For nearly 15 years, that energy has been pumped into dance music starting in the blog house era and evolving from there to a more open-format style that defined his pre-pandemic BUTTER parties. Since the lockdown of 2020, his journey has led him deeper into the sound of the underground, drawing inspiration from legends like Chez Damier, Kerri Chandler, Moodymann, and Classic Music Co. label co-founder Luke Solomon. This very journey has led him to collaborating with restaurateur & LOSO club creator Brandon Pearson since 2021, as well as opening for and sharing booths with the likes of Eli Escobar, DJ Holographic, DJ Minx, JKriv and Kim Ann Foxman.
------------
Markus Gold, the Virginia-born Music Producer/DJ/Creative Artist started his career in music at the early age of 16. After 6 years of immersing himself into music production he began to learn the artform of turntablism and djing. Now one of the most sought after local talents in central Virginia Markus has turned his slights to fully showcasing his creative talents through stage design, graphic design and content creation.

Junior Sanchez
JUNIOR SANCHEZ @ LOSO
Saturday, January 11
Doors: 8pm
DJ Sets: 9pm - 2am
2727 W Broad St
21+
As one of the world’s most respected and innovative DJs, Junior Sanchez has remained at the forefront of house music since the ‘90s. But throughout his three-decade-long career, Sanchez has continued to challenge himself—becoming a versatile producer, a hands-on label executive, and an inspiring entrepreneur along the way. Above all, Sanchez’s enthusiasm for his craft, and his passion to share it with others, is present in all of his endeavors.
Although Sanchez’s story begins in the most ordinary of places—suburban New Jersey—his rise to fame was anything but. The youngest of six, Sanchez was raised on his family’s diverse record collection. While his Brazilian mother enjoyed a steady dose of Latin music, his siblings each had their own favorites: from ELO and Fleetwood Mac to Slick Rick and The Smiths. Sanchez embraced it all. But when he discovered house music—a relatively young genre that sprung from the ashes of disco—it resonated with him on a new level.
Sanchez developed his talents on a makeshift rig at home and immersed himself in New York City’s vibrant club scene. By his early teens, he was DJing regularly at Peter Gatien’s Club USA and Limelight. Balancing high school with residencies, Sanchez signed his first record deal at 15. A few years later, he established Cube Recordings, where he released records from the likes of Rhythm Masters, Stuart Price, and Sébastien Léger. There, he also co-produced Felix da Housecat’s landmark electroclash album, Kittenz and Thee Glitz.
The prodigious DJ not only won the respect of house music’s elders but also of a new generation of stars, including Armand van Helden, who took Sanchez under his wing. Together, they founded Da Mongaloids—a global collective of DJs that featured such high-profile names as Todd Terry; Daft Punk’s Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christ; Roger Sanchez; Laidback Luke; DJ Sneak; and Basement Jaxx’s Felix Buxton and Simon Ratcliffe. Aiming to create “The Wu-Tang Clan of House Music,” Sanchez was the youngest of the group—and the most enthusiastic. “I recruited all of these people,” he recalls. “We started re-mixing each other and appearing on each other’s records. There was a lot of unity.”
The collective also birthed a project between Sanchez, DJ Sneak, and Roger Sanchez called The S-Men. The multi-generational trio put together an enthralling live act featuring six turntables, a sampler, and a keyboard. While turntablism of this level had been seen in hip-hop, it was revolutionary in the world of house music. The S-Men made their debut at London’s 1997 Tribal Gathering, opening for Kraftwerk. A little over two decades later, the group thrilled fans with a reunion. Today, they continue to work together.
Da Mongaloids, meanwhile, never officially parted ways, but members became increasingly busy with their exploding careers. Sanchez was no exception.
Over the years, the New York-based artist has enjoyed regular club appearances in Ibiza, Las Vegas, and Miami, and played for thousands of fans at Electric Daisy Carnival, Ultra Music Festival, Winter Music Conference, and Amsterdam Dance Event. He has also released dozens of singles and EPs across such esteemed labels as Strictly Rhythm, Nervous, and Defected, plus two full-length albums: 2011’s Seize the Fewcha and 2017’s Under the Influence. The latter title, which pays homage to house music’s pioneers, was released under Sanchez’s Brobot Records.
Established in 2013 in partnership with Steve Angello’s Size Records, Brobot offered Sanchez the freedom to release his own records, as well as more experimental music from his peers. Additionally, the label gave him an opportunity to mentor and showcase a variety of rising, young talent.
Early on, Sanchez also pursued a career as a producer, remixer, and songwriter, which allowed him to work with a broad spectrum of artists. “Dance music is such a huge part of my musical DNA, but there’s so much more to me too,” he shares. “When I began making house music, I did it because I loved it—but I never turned my back on other types of music.”
Those sessions helped him grow exponentially as an artist. “I wanted to put myself out there and learn how to work with a band or a singer-songwriter. I had to do that in order to be better at what I do,” says Sanchez, whose roster of collaborators includes Madonna, Ariana Grande, Good Charlotte, Katy Perry, A Tribe Called Quest, Ima Robot, Morningwood, Teyana Taylor, and Azealia Banks, with whom he co-wrote and produced the highly-acclaimed viral hit, “Anna Wintour.”
That endless love of learning sparked one of Sanchez’s newest projects, KULTUR: a label, events, and lifestyle brand with an educational focus. Co-founded in 2020 with the Toronto-based DJ and producer Demiur, KULTUR was created to “keep the narrative of house music alive, so that kids know where their favorite dance music came from,” explains Sanchez.
Those origins began in the underground—and particularly the marginalized communities—of American cities. “House music will always have its roots within the Black, Latinx, straight, and LGBTQ+ cultures of New York and Chicago,” notes Sanchez. “It came from people who needed to escape their daily lives.” Sanchez is further exploring these foundational themes in an upcoming solo project, which is currently in the works with producer Dallas Austin.
Today, Sanchez feels a responsibility to preserve that original spirit while also looking ahead; empowering a new generation of artists to shape the future of dance music. “Everyone should win within this culture—whether they’re underground or mainstream; a singer, a songwriter, or a DJ who makes beats. There’s room for everyone.”
It’s certainly a full-circle moment for the busy artist and father as he enters the next decade of his career. “I always say that we’re all pixels in this amazing story of house music; we’ve all played a role,” he reflects. “I’m so grateful that I was part of the picture as a kid—and am still a part of this ‘painting’ that we’re all creating.”

Friday, January 30
RESCHEDULED FROM 01/24
Doors: 8pm
DJ Sets: 9pm - 2am
2727 W Broad St
21+
A true icon of underground dance music, Hercules & Love Affair—helmed by DJ, producer, and visionary Andy Butler—continues to push the boundaries of electronic sound, blending house, disco, and techno with an ever-evolving sonic palette. Best known for the era-defining anthem “Blind,” featuring Anohni and famously remixed by house legend Frankie Knuckles, Butler has built a career that bridges the worlds of club culture, high fashion, and contemporary art. His original compositions have soundtracked the runways of Chanel, Dior, Versace, and Yves Saint Laurent, while his DJ sets have electrified dance floors at institutions like Panorama Bar, London’s Fabric, and NYC Downlow.
Now, after a period of focused studio work and curating his new label Cluboff, Butler is set to return to the live stage with Hercules & Love Affair, bringing an invigorated energy to his performances. Cluboff serves as a bold extension of his vision—a label dedicated to showcasing eclectic and innovative dance music inspired by legendary clubs like The Warehouse, The Saint, and Le Palace. Featuring artists from across the globe, the imprint encapsulates the raw spirit, glamour, and hedonism of these iconic spaces.
Deeply influenced by the pioneers of dance music, Butler has always sought out to immerse himself in statement making dance music. From his time in New York inhaling the genius that the city is renowned for- names like Larry Levan, Arthur Russel, Todd Terry, Masters at Work. He has entrenched himself in Chicago’s history- from it’s industrial and acid house legacy- and looked admiringly to the likes of Ron Hardy, Frankie Knuckles, Derrick Carter to name a few. The sound of Detroit has been an inspiration from the innovation of Jeff Mills or that classic blend of vocals and techno in Inner City. And his life in Europe has only deepened his love of that continent’s contributions to electronic and experimental music. From Kraftwerk to Yello, England’s LFO and Summer of Love to Belgian New Beat, Butler’s blood runs thick with a passion for electronic music that puts people together and expands minds and connects hearts. This rich lineage informs his latest work, marking a return to the raw, emotive energy that made Hercules & Love Affair a defining force in contemporary dance music.
It’s no surprise then that with an impeccable ear honed by over two decades in nightlife, Butler’s DJ sets traverse deep, propulsive house, hypnotic techno, and euphoric disco. His extensive remix work—reimagining artists from Blondie to Yazoo—further cements his place as a dance music tastemaker. As Hercules & Love Affair returns to the stage, fans can expect an electrifying live experience, fusing Butler’s signature sound with a renewed sense of artistic urgency. Whether a longtime devotee or a new listener, now is the time to witness the next chapter of Hercules & Love Affair.

A triple threat who lights up a room when behind the decks, in the studio, and on stage, TORIBIO is a lifelong student of rhythm. Analyzing melodies and chords with a musician's ear, the Dominican-American artist blends different genres and moods in all his creative pursuits-DJing, producing, singing, playing instruments, and even his skills on the mic.
Thanks to a childhood spent playing in church and jazz drumming, the Florida-born, New York-based act has a natural sense of harmony. He takes on the role of musical cartographer in live house fusion band, Conclave, whose debut album was named one of Resident Advisor's best in 2021 and praised by both Rolling Stone and the New Yorker. Acting as the ensemble's bandleader, vocalist, and key instrumentalist, TORIBIO connects jazz, soul, and house from various cultures with style and grace.
His speciality in sonic connections are especially tangible in his DJing. Gliding from pan-Latin club to raw electro to jazz to old-school funk, his sets are a masterclass in building energy and tension. Whether playing Boiler Room or clubs in Mexico City and Tokyo, he knows how to work a crowd with selections and transitions that are as precise as they are powerful. As a producer, his edits and originals are DJ weapons, rinsed by the likes of Gilles Peterson, Rich Medina, and Theo Parrish. His original tracks have been remixed by the likes of Louie Vega, Joe Claussell, and DJ Spinna.
Known for fostering community through movement, his Brooklyn block parties (Public Service NYC) embody the spirit of New York's dance culture while his newly formed imprint B.D.A. is quickly becoming known for bringing these vibes to vinyl. A TORIBIO show is a full-body experience as he always says, "bring dat ass, and your feet will follow.

The Illustrious Blacks (Manchildblack x Monstah Black) are NeoAfroFuturisticPsychedelicSurrealisticHippys on a mission to save the world one beat at a time!
Once upon a time in a galaxy not far away, there lived two kings. Each was the ruler of his own deliciously glorious planet. The first king, Manchildblack, was well known throughout the cosmos for his ethereal vocals, celestial sonics and earthy musical messages. The other king, Monstah Black, was a star in the solar system for his gravity defying performances, gender bending fashions and spacey disposition. One magical night, an inexplicable ultramagnetic pull forced the two planets to collide. A technicolored explosion occurred, turning night into day, with a feast of aural and visual delights. It was then that the universe was changed forever. Manchildblack and Monstah Black united and became The Illustrious Blacks.
With inspiration from artists like Prince, David Bowie, Grace Jones, Boy George and George Clinton, The Illustrious Blacks have arrived with a mission to fuse futuristic funk, hypnotic house and cosmic pop into pulsating positivity for the planet. The real life married couple are not only co-pilots on their artistic voyage, but are united in their fantastical journey through life.
In 2017, The Illustrious Blacks released their highly anticipated debut EP, NeoAfroFuturisticPsychedelicSurrealisticHippy, on Concierge Records. The EP features the high energy single "Blast Off," the seductive "Red Light," the thought provoking "Delusions of Grandeur" and the anthemic "Black Like Jesus." In the same year, the dynamic duo also found time to work with producer Nickodemus on a remake of the 90s dance floor classic "Funk That!," which spawned a popular music video.
The acclaimed couple found even more praise for their epic live shows and DJ sets, which fuse music, dance, theater & fashion as the ingredients to expand minds, shake bootys and save the world one beat at a time. Their infectious DJ set on Okayplayer’s Facebook live went viral and has put them on the global radar of emerging musical artists.
The Illustrious Blacks have been featured at packed venues such as Central Park Summerstage (NYC), Joe’s Pub at The Public Theater (NYC), Output (NYC), Le Poisson Rouge (NYC), Performance Space New York (NYC), Brooklyn Bowl (NYC), C’mon Everybody (NYC), Afterglow Festival (Mass) and even found themselves touring to Bali, Indonesia.
The Illustrious Blacks have been receiving praise from major media outlets including The New Yorker Magazine. Their celebratory music video “Black Like Jesus” was premiered in Billboard. Also, their single “Revolutionary Love” debuted in Paper Magazine, while its music video was featured on Out.com. They were also featured in a lifestyle article for the New York Times.
2019 is shaping up to be a busy year for The Illustrious Blacks. With a tour of Asia, Australia and the UK planned, they have been commissioned to create a brand new live show as part of The Shed's inaugural Open Call in NY. Simultaneously, they are recording their debut full length album to be released later in the year.
Individually, Monstah Black and Manchildblack illuminate the galaxy with equal magnitude. As The Illustrious Blacks, they have combined their powers to save the world one beat at a time, and encourage all to LIVE THE HYPE LIFE!

Carl Craig is a multi-disciplined visionary whose eclectic tastes and influences all converge into his “main discipline,” Carl Craig. The Detroit pioneer’s lifelong pursuit of independence and self-gratification is the catalyst behind three decades of innovation and achievement within the realm of electronic music.
As the mastermind behind Planet E Communications, Carl conceived and nurtured a platform that preserves his independence while also providing a liberating space for a range of international artists over the last 30 years. Carl’s open-minded approach has led to the release of records that traverse hip-hop, jazz, funk, and more esoteric electronic compositions, purposely avoiding commercial-sounding music.
As a producer and performer, Carl’s history is well documented. Under a variety of aliases—69, Paperclip People, C2, and many more—he has produced six LPs, the most recent being Versus, with his back catalog including credits on over 600 remixes for a diverse cross-section of electronic music artists from Depeche Mode and Tori Amos to his friends Kenny Larkin and Kevin Saunderson, plus many many more. In 2008, Carl’s tireless remix work was recognized at the Grammys, where he was nominated for his rework of Junior Boys “Like A Child.”
Forever an ambassador for his hometown, Carl pays homage to Motor City with his Detroit Love compilations and events while also spearheading the city’s electronic music festival way back at the turn of the millennium, and also runs his own artist agency, Detroit Premiere Artists.
Carl’s creative dedication to black excellence and the championing of its creative leaders has led to a series of educational projects in recent years. His ‘All Black Vinyl’ Instagram series, in which he showcases a record from a black artist each day of February, evolved into the 2022 ‘All Black Digital’ partnership with Beatport and Quincy Jones’s Qwest TV, featuring moving conversations with Black artists and a series of live streams with rising African talent from South
Africa’s Constitution Hill. The Beatport partnership continued in 2023 with a series of editorial content showcasing rising Black artists from Detroit and returns to Carl’s own Instagram profile in 2024. Also this year, Carl delivered a special Black History Month DJ Mix to Apple Music alongside a Selects playlist featuring all Black artists and spoke on the Black experience’s impact on his wide-reaching artistry at NYU and Michigan State University. In addition, he participated in multiple panels at ADE: Dilla 50, which celebrated the mega-influence the legendary Detroit hip-hop producer J Dilla had across all genres of music, as well as From Detroit to Durban: The Learnings of 30 Years of Dance Music, which brought together industry pioneers and rising stars to explore the legacy of two of the most influential genres in global dance music: Techno from Detroit and Amapiano from South Africa.
More recently, he has taken his outward explorations a step further by working with the prestigious art establishment DIA:Beacon. His immersive installation Party/After-Party is the result of five years of development and occupied the huge, warehouse-esque 40,000 square-foot basement at the gallery during its 15-month showing. The piece combines a soundscape and programmed lighting effects to engage participants in Carl’s interpretation of his experiences on the road while touring, from the club to the after-party. After showing at the DIA:Beacon, and now acquired as part of the DIA’s permanent collection, Party/After-Party was brought to Los Angeles’ esteemed home for contemporary art MOCA. The installation was experienced by thousands of patrons over four months at the iconic downtown Los Angeles repurposed warehouse location. Carl was also recognized as a guest of honor at the MOCA Gala and hosted a series of three Party/After-Party sessions in partnership with Insomniac and Secret Project featuring performances from Carl alongside Moodymann, DJ Minx, King Britt, DJ Holographic, Kyle Hall, Rimarkable, and Erno. Party/After-Party will next be brought overseas to multiple to-be-announced locations in the years to come.
2022 saw Carl’s prominence in high art and culture furthered through the presentation of the Carl Craig Synthesizer Ensemble at Carnegie Hall’s AFROFUTURISM Festival as well as a special set at the 59th Venice Biennale in the cavernous naval complex Tese 98, in celebration of artist Stan Douglas’ participation in the Canada Pavilion.
In 2024, Carl was the focus and star of the documentary about his life, Desire: The Carl Craig Story, which premiered at the famous Tribeca Film Festival in New York City. Directed by Jean-Cosme Delaloye (Harley), the film follows Carl’s career from middle-class roots to global stardom in the worlds of music and art, with Detroit’s decline and recovery as a backdrop. The film features interviews with Carl’s family and seminal figures in music, including Gilles Peterson, Laurent Garnier, Moritz von Oswald, and James Lavelle.
His contribution to global electronic music culture has been vast. Despite widespread critical acclaim and success, he continues to inject his innovative energy into everything he does, establishing a legacy that will stand long after the wheels of his car finally fall off…

Being One of the co-founders of the group “Black Rave Culture” and also having a slew of independent releases dating back as far as 2012, James Bangura has maintained a steady pace for the last decade.

Kitty Amor
KITTY AMOR @ LOSO
w/ Electric Sun Society
Saturday, November 8
Doors: 8p
DJ Sets: 9p-2a
2727 W. Broad St.
21+
Kitty Amor:
The UK’s foremost ambassador for African-influenced electronic music, Kitty Amoris cultivating an impeccable legacy. An accomplished DJ, producer, sonic storyteller, label owner and advocate for underrepresented communities, her dedication to the afro sound is unwavering. Kitty’s a leader in pushing the sound into unfamiliar spaces with huge international debuts last year including, Glastonbury Festival, Voodoo Village, CORE Tomorrowland, Ultra Music Festival & ANTS Ibiza. 2025 is set to be on of her biggest years so far.
Production-wise, Kitty has demonstrated her natural musicality with a series of well-received singles and remixes, including the huge rework of Dennis Ferrer’s ‘Hey Hey’ with Da Capo, and a pinch-yourself-moment remix of London Grammar’s ‘Into Gold’. A lifelong digger, she has channelled her deep knowledge and appreciation of afro sounds into a highly-regarded record label, Mahaba Music, using her growing stature to champion a variety of artists from the Motherland and beyond. With a clear focus on what she wants to achieve and an ever-growing global following, Kitty continues to flourish professionally, creatively and personally.
Kitty’s latest single ‘The Answer’ (with AWEN) is indicative of her progressive outlook. A commentary on the tide turning towards women who DJ, it’s a call for genuine equality and solidarity, over mindless box ticking. As always, empowerment is at the core of Kitty’s messaging. The single is the first from an extended project, which is still in development and promises to be an exceptional body of work when it lands in 2025. Combining pulsating bass, captivating rhythms, rousing atmospherics and AWEN’s heartfelt vocals, ‘The Answer’ further solidifies Kitty’s prowess as a producer - a natural extension of her artistry as a selector.
Since she first stepped into the world of DJing in 2009, Kitty’s passion and love for African sounds have been central to her growth and evolution as an artist. Surrounded by esoteric music in her youth (her dad was a sound engineer for afrobeat music collectives), Kitty’s childhood grounding permeates into her spellbinding sets today. Drawing on those formative influences, she conjures up the mystical power of her own heritage and the lineage that emanates from the Motherland. Deep hypnotic basslines, spiritual chants, soulful vocals, uplifting melodies and tribal rhythms captivate audiences new and old with every performance. In London, during the 2010s, she cultivated a tight-knit community around her parties Sessions and Motherland. Motherland was featured in Mixmag in 2019 and the following year Kitty became one of the magazine’s cover stars, launching her onto the world stage.
Since that pivotal moment, all the years of tireless work and commitment to the afro sound have been the catalyst behind a long list of career-defining achievements: the first female afro house DJ to play Glastonbury in 2023, a brand partnership with Nike, a show-stopping appearance at Hi Ibiza with Vintage Culture and Fisher, a residency on Rinse FM, the launch of Mahaba Music, a 30-date World Tour and her incredibly personal and vulnerable documentary “Who Is Kitty Amor?” (which was picked up by the prestigious Iris Prize Festival). Kitty has been championed by some of the world’s most influential tastemakers including Benji B, Tiffany Calver, Pete Tong, Arielle Free, Fraser T Smith and Afrodeutsche. She has recorded sets for BBC Radio 1, Mixmag Lab, DJ Mag HQ, Triple J, Apple Music and Resident Advisor, alongside a live set on Channel O, a national television station in South Africa - the nation that has been intrinsic to her artistic development. Kitty’s connection to South Africa runs deeper than words can express. At the heart of her sound is the vibration of SA and its vibrant culture, combined with the energy of her hometown, London and, of course, the rest of Africa.
Representing the music from across the continent and her city, while also becoming a figure of inspiration for black and queer women, puts Kitty in an influential position and she takes the responsibility very seriously. Her desire to inspire, lead and platform others demonstrates an element of selflessness that is both admirable and vital. This can be seen in the signings to her label, Mahaba, launched in conjunction with electronic music powerhouse, Defected, the music she plays in her sets and her public advocacy of underrepresented artists, labels and nations. It’s her life’s mission; to showcase and promote inclusivity while empowering those who are often excluded from electronic music spaces. Cross-pollination is a key part of this mission; introducing the afro sound to unexplored dance floors and club spaces across the globe. Her appearance at Fisher’s party at Hi Ibiza, for instance, or performing alongside SG Lewis in New York and Eats Everything’s History Of Rave party at the Stonebridge tent at Glastonbury. It’s about taking the sound to people who may not be familiar, with positive reactions every time, which helps to grow the global following.
At every step of her journey so far, Kitty has honoured her African heritage. This can be heard permeating through her sets, which many observers comment have a unique vibe, distinct to Kitty herself and her curating skills. It’s also evident throughout her discography, since her debut on Get Physical - ‘Khoisan’, a collaboration with Thakzin through to the stunning ‘I Saw An Angel’, which was another massive milestone for Kitty. The track, written alongside the Nigerian singer-songwriter Somadina, received a major-label release via Warner Music Africa and Parlophone Europe. Her debut solo release, also marked the debut of her label Mahaba Music. ‘Solitude’ was a collaboration with the vocalist Nathan Nicholson, and it marked a big step in Kitty’s creative development. Perhaps highest on Kitty’s own list of production achievements is her remix of the iconic ‘Hey Hey’ by Dennis Ferrer. Produced with close friend Da Capo for Defected’s 25th anniversary celebrations, the track has a special place in her heart, thanks to its anthemic status for London’s clubbing community, in particular. Playing back-to-back with Da Capo at Ultra Festival in South Africa, and being able to play the remix there, kicked off Kitty’s epic 2024 in style.
Touring the world is now a regular occurrence for Kitty. Her tour diary is packed with high-profile gigs, giving her the perfect platform to showcase the afro sound to new audiences. Her ever growing list of standout performances includes appearances at Skepta and Jammer’s Mas Tiempo events and sets at Printworks, Hï Ibiza, Ushuaia, KOKO, Fabric, Tresor, Watergate and The Warehouse Project, through to festival appearances at Glastonbury, Voodoo Village, Big Smoke Festival, Lost Village, TRIIP Festival, Exit Festival, Tomorrowland CORE Defected Malta and Ultra South Africa in both Cape Town and Johannesburg.
Going back 15 years to the very start, it’s always been clear to Kitty that telling her story is paramount. Through sharing her own narrative, she is ensuring that representation of her sound, heritage, community, gender and sexuality is at the centre of her mission. A savvy, humble, highly creative and driven artist, Kitty is a powerful force for progression, steadily revolutionising the global electronic music scene with her visionary outlook. As her status continues to grow, and her natural talent flourishes, she’s bringing everyone up with her. Through her conscious and intentional action Kitty Amor is establishing a legacy rooted in love, positive social change, empowerment and an unwavering determination to spread the profound energy of the Motherland, Africa.

Electric is the only way to describe Andi’s sets. The NYC-based DJ and producer constructs a dynamic and intoxicating flow that’s always palpable between the walls of the foggy, neon-lit dancefloor. Parts sleaze and sultry, Andi’s aesthetic is body music based, thriving on the delivery of the groove and the bombastic highs of a track’s apex. As a devotee of distinct sounds such as EBM, new beat, Italo, and freestyle—with hints of housey 90s elements—her sets reflect her deep vinyl collection: diverse, yet focused, and completely one-of-a-kind. She has most recently been called upon to DJ at Panorama Bar, Montreux Jazz Festival, Fold London, and Ombra Festival.
Her own productions aim to challenge the expectations within the confines of traditionally masculine dance genres. With bassline-heavy grooves and a conceptual emphasis on storytelling with samples taken from long-forgotten erotic thrillers and seedy sci-fi films, Andi adds a wry yet delicate touch to machine music.
Andi released Corpse to Corpus in 2020 and Compelling Evidence in 2023 on aufnahme + wiedergabe, as well as the Torque Force split EP with Randolph & Mortimer on Mecanica Records in 2021. Additionally, her collaborative electro-industrial project, Andi + Machino, released the Parafernales EP on Mannequin Records in 2023, and her track with Randolph & Mortimer is featured on Curses’ Next Wave Acid Punx Deux compilation. Most recently, she contributed a track to Dischi Autunno's Intermezzo Tre compilation with the track "End Program” and Next Wave Acid Punx Revamps with an edit of Philadelphia Five’s “Not Leaving Without Jerry.”
As the boss of SYNTHICIDE—the internationally known party, label and event series—Andi has cultivated the dark underground scene for over a decade in Brooklyn. SYNTHICIDE started at the notorious club in Bushwick, Bossa Nova Civic Club, where the party still holds a monthly residency. Additionally, Andi is a resident at The Lot Radio, NYC’s new hot spot Gabriela, and is a member of the ItaloMatic crew.
