Based between Mexico City and Berlin, the Mexican “Isi Audi” delivers a very special live performance combining his productions with improvisation and unexpected samples. Since 2018, Isi has created this live performance to separate himself from the average “DJ” set. Full of cosmic dreamy sounds, mighty baselines, 2000s leads, and tribal percussions, that remind of early uplifting electronic music. This has led Isi to be a guest in truly special venues and festivals in the world, like Thuishaven (Amsterdam), Sisyphos (Berlin), Factory93 (USA), Womb (Tokyo), Cova Santa (Ibiza), The Sanctuary (Italy), etc. Isi is the founder and curator of “The Shanghai Cafe” is a monthly inclusive rave inspired by the kitsch Chinese restaurant culture and the Chinese zodiac, which invites artists from different underground scenes to collaborate and present themselves to a mixed crowd. Why Shanghai Café for a Mexican event? Exactly, it doesn’t make sense, like many things in Mexico. This artist is profiled in 𝗧𝗘𝗠𝗕.

For any DJ and bedroom producer, the ability to “hustle” is often the most underestimated, yet most important factor in determining whether they will fade or successfully make their mark on the industry. Good hustle is the epitome of both the man and monumental career of international DJ, Roger Sanchez. From humble beginnings in New York City, digging in dusty crates of old vinyl and spinning at house parties in Corona, Queens, to dominating the dance floors and headlining festival main-stages in every corner of the globe.    The crafting of Roger Sanchez, the DJ and producer, started in the late 80s, where as a young man he was enticed by the explosion of Hip-Hop that was taking over the city. Embracing the culture as a b-boy and graffiti artist, he would hit parties on the Bronx River, and before long, his friends had him trying his hand on the wheels of steel. In a time and place where Hip-Hop, House Music, and “turntablism” all collided in a perfect storm of creativity and opportunity Roger seized his moment and began to build his empire on vinyl and slip mats, starting with a few singles and expanding into a massive collection of over two thousand original productions and remixes.

Just like his introverted personality, Leon (FR) made a quiet entrance into the industry allowing his music to be the point of expression and stay the focus of attention, with his club debut in 2010. By romantically combining emotional vibes, groovy baselines and old-school synths, Leon (FR) found a way to establish a connection with his story, during production and performances; all enhanced by the influence of the House and Techno scenes in 2000’s France. By 2013, Leon was ready to leave France for Hong Kong, where he met Mo-Shi and Milam and a friendship was born. Post travel, exploration and learning the ropes of the music industry as a label manager, DJ and producer; Leon (FR) joined forces with his friends and in 2023 they founded Nodes Rec.. a record label made of artists who share the same vision of music.
