Diego Knows is a New York native, Co-Founder of Cut-Line Records, and a global ambassador of house music. Growing up immersed in New York City’s vibrant underground scene, Diego’s musical journey began after a life-changing experience at Pacha NYC. Late nights at the iconic club introduced him to pulsating techno, tribal drums, and electrifying electro sounds, igniting his passion for music and inspiring him to explore his creativity as an artist.

By his late teens, Diego was already producing tracks influenced by the sensory overload of NYC nightlife—the lights, the beats, and the deep connection of the dance floor. These formative experiences shaped a sound that seamlessly blends funk, disco, house, techno and minimal with the raw energy of the underground.

After a decade of refining his craft, Diego launched Cut-Line, making his debut at legendary venues like the Panther Room and The Roof at Output. What began as an event and artist management company is now evolving into a vinyl record label, set to launch in early 2025.

Diego later partnered with Sergio Santos to create FUNKY PEOPLE, a monthly party at TBA Brooklyn celebrated for its eclectic track selection and groovy vibe. Alongside Jeremy Ismael, the trio took FUNKY PEOPLE on the road, performing at top venues across New York City, the U.S., and Europe.

As a producer, Diego has released music with his lifelong friend Maják on renowned labels like Yoyaku, Decay, and Street King. Their collaborations showcase a seamless blend of groove-heavy rhythms and intricate production, earning them recognition in the global underground scene. Together, they have contributed to respected imprints such as Superfreq, Wildfamily, Staybad, Good Luck Penny, and Fine Mode, with their work consistently championed by DJs and tastemakers alike.

Whether behind the decks or on the dance floor, Diego is driven by the universal language of music. His mission is to create transformative moments that connect people, celebrating the energy and unity that only music can inspire. With over a decade of global performances, Diego Knows invites you to move, groove, and lose yourself in the rhythm.

Born in bear country on the Atnarko River in Northern Canada, Atnarko channels his inner bear as he deejays and produces hypnotic dance music straight from the heart of the beast. Atnarko is considered a legend of the underground house music scene in the south. He is known for his DJ sets that extend into the wee hours of the morning, taking adventurous partygoers deep into his musical den.

He also produced some of the early breaks records that defined the genre as it was emerging. These include the classic, “Tunnel Vision,” cited as an early influence by Maceo Plex, among others. As his career developed, he went on to produce many records and moved into other genres, most notably house and techno. With close to 200 releases appearing on a wide variety of labels, Atnarko’s paw prints are firmly planted in dance music.

His label, Infiltr8:Celebr8, continues to set the pace for underground events in Orlando, booking dance music friends and heroes with great success, expanding, and elevating the city’s culture. He continues to walk this path, playing and producing music he loves, regardless of boundaries. Atnarko has told his musical story far and wide over his long career and he would love to tell it to you.

I first got into the Electronic/Dance music scene at the age of 15 as i was coming out of my Rock/Heavy Metal phase and with my older brother steering me towards this new sound, House music became my passion. 
After allot of pressure and persistence for music i can say i have come come a long way. Having played with a few of Melbourne's high named djs such as Kaz James, John Course, Adam Bartas, Miss Peta, Dean Paps, Miles Jnr, Spacey Space, Chardy, Aaron Trotman, Luke Mcd, DJ Jorj ( DEFECTED RECORDS), Lewie Day aka Tornado Wallace, Andy Murphy, Sunshine & Mark John as well as supporting and warming up for International Artists like Yolanda Be Cool & Flight Facilities.

My Style is unique and always has a way to lure people onto the dance-floor for a cheeky boogie. My sounds vary from set to set, starting from Disco and slowly slowly bring it up a notch to a bit more Soulful, Vocal, Deep and then into the Jackin and Tech side of House. I have to say though that Techno and Acid House are also another two genres i really enjoy playing as well. Being in the industry from my teen years you develop an eye and ear for what people want to hear, hence why reading the crowd is very important while you are out there. Listening to my sets i take you on a journey that is not monotonous by bringing the tempo up and down where its necessary. 

Inspired and Influenced by the Heavyweights of House such as, Frankie Knuckles, Todd Terry, Mr Fingers, Farley 'Jackmaster' Funk, Ralphie Rosario, Marshall Jefferson, DJ Pierre, Derrick May Larry Levan, Nicky Siano, Steve Hurley, Francois K, Ron Hardy, Derrick Carter, Jamie Principle, DJ Pierre, DJ Sneak, Roy Davis, Jr., Mark Farina, Paul Johnson, Lil Louis just to name a few. 

I can play all kinds of different genres, i have no limit and its not about playing one specific genre that's sort of where i come from where DJs play different styles. I have always been a HOUSE head so i spin anything from Soulful, Jackin, Deep, Tech-House, Disco, down tempo and anything really that gets me moving which i know will get others moving as well. I personally think that the younger Generation of DJs tend to have one specific style that they always stick by.

I also had a Radio show on community Dance music station KISS FM in Melbourne from 2010 till August 2014 which showcased International and Local DJs/producers.
The show was heard & Streamed across Australia, The US, Europe, Asia, South Afrika & Brazil.

Some of the guest Producers and DJs i have had the honor to showcase are the likes of one of our own International export Kaz James followed by Richard dinsdale, Crookers, Timo Garcia, Patric La funk, Mike Monday, Malente, Marc Romboy, George morel (US), Arturo Garces (US), Pete Le Freq (UK), Trevor Vichas (US) Tony Wardan (AUS), Dave Juric & Phil Weeks (FRA).
