DJ STINGRAY 313

DJ Stingray 313 – donning his emblematic balaclava, his heavy, relentless, almost cyborg-like DJ sets continue to leave audiences captivated for decades. This skilled approach to the dancefloor gives Stingray quite the in-demand gig schedule, appearing at landmark festivals and venues across the globe

Stingray’s most notable connection, however, is through the iconic electro outfit of James Stinson and Gerald Donald aka Drexciya. As Mystic Tribe A.I, he first appears on the Clone Records release “Sunday Night Live at the Laptop Cafe”, a split 12” with Stinson (aka The Other People Place). Further meetings with Stinson and Donald earned him the nickname “Drexciyan DJ Stingray”, becoming the group’s official touring DJ.

DJ Stingray 313 remains a steadfast figure in his uncompromising sound, craftily setting the soundtrack to the not-too-distant future.

TAYHANA

Argentinian DJ and producer, Tayhana, has established herself, in a short period of time, as one of the most relevant and promising figures in the club scene around the world. Self-taught by her experience as a founder of one of the most radical parties in South America that revalued the original music of the continent, she is recognized as a central figure in the Club Latinx genre.

Thanks to her aggressive way of playing, a fearless imagination mixing different rhythms, BPMs and a wide range of experimental sounds from Latin America, but mostly because of her creative capacity as a producer and a beatmaker to push the boundaries of what has been possible in the encounter of urban and traditional music from all over the continent, she has called the attention of artists such as Rosalía, Daniela Lalita, Mare Advertencia Lírica, Gaika, among many others producers and well known DJs in the industry.
