B.Fly Live At APOG Festival July 2023

Picture this: an intimate and opulent festival stage surrounded by old growth fir trees between a river and a mountain in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. Its 2AM, and B.Fly opens the stage for a light night group of lovers, dancers, loungers, and hookah smokers. She delivers a progressively hot but spaciously groovy and worldly tech house set that set up the blissed out crowd for a night curated by the Caravan Seattle crew that culminated with a gorgeous dawn experience.

Erika discovered Seattle’s underground electronic music scene in 2008, and quickly became a regular patron of the dance floor. Once she had become a part of the community, Erika understood the importance of giving back, and could often be found volunteering at the local club events and festivals. Originally influenced by the more bass-driven sounds of Drum n’ Bass and Hardcore, Erika’s taste in music as a dancer expanded to techno and the many sub-genres of house. After over a decade of making the dance floors of Seattle’s clubs, lofts, rooftops and abandoned warehouses her home, Erika decided to dive further into electronic music and began DJing as Copeland in 2021. Because of her many years of dancing and feeling the music, Copeland has an intuitiveness to her DJing style that cannot be taught. As her confidence behind the deck has grown, so has her energy and movement, which feeds the crowd and sets the vibe. Rarely sticking to one genre in her sets, you’ll hear everything from Classic Chicago/Detroit House, Funk & Disco, to Minimal, Deep & Psychedelic House, Afro House and Organic House; paired with sensual and soulful undertones. Copeland has had the opportunity to DJ and produce several summer festivals such as Sun Worship, Afterglow, Cascadia, Panacea, Audible Bicycle Day, and APOG, plus local events for her burning man camp, The Dusty Booty Ranch, the infamous Train Car House Party, Flammable, Uniting Souls, and Hunt & Gather. Copeland has DJ'd at Monkey Loft, Lo-Fi, Madame Lou's, Substation, Nectar, High Dive, The Woods, The Seattle Art Museum, Timbre Room, The Hiyu boat, Cherry, Chop Suey, and more! Copeland is also a resident of the 25-year old House label, Viva Recordings, where she is learning about the business side of throwing events; bringing her full circle back to where she started, focused on the well-being of the Seattle Dance Community that has become her chosen family.

Polish open format DJ.
A member of the DJ collective Techstruction and the Dustpan Recording label.

·~· LacyNew ~ Caravan(SEA) ·~·
·~·Performing underground and at club events in Seattle, LacyNew might have you in a meditative state or stomping your feet. She strives to invoke an imaginative journey in the mind and movement of the body with as much variety as life itself; through a range of organic, tribal house and variety breaks. What is admired about her most is her fearless approach to jumping between genres.·~·

·~·"Connecting to the people around me via sound waves and dance became an intoxicating experience. Thus, came a drive to present quality mixes that encompass the many energies that make up my life and the people that play different roles. Music is one of the earliest and most tribal forms of communication, which is why I gravitate to earthy tones, contrasting instrumentals and multi-lingual vocals. Naturally, connecting with a range of organic house and worldly breaks.·~·

 ·~·The vision to create opportunity for tangible change & undeniable connection comes from within, but is continuously interchangeable throughout the community. The desire to inspire comes from within, but is ultimately cultivated from the collective. For any given set, from start to finish these sounds represent the people in front of me.·~·

·~·Tracks are gathered across the genres from artists such as; Tebra, Jean Vayat, Kerem Gell, Bharamji, Wassim Younes, CloZee, Peace Sine & Nextro. And labels such as; Cafe De Anatolia, DistroKid, Lump Records, Gravitas Recordings, Shango Records, George V Records & Stil Vor Talent.·~·
