Atish plays from the soul with a smile on his face. His charm flows as freely as his grooves, and his infectious personality is poured into every performance. The links he makes are not just musical but personal, too, as he communicates the highs and lows of life through his sounds. As an unmistakably warm person, he has quickly built up a dedicated fan base that feeds off his passion and energy. The Atish experience is about more than just dancing - it's about connection.

There is an intimacy and elegance to the music Atish plays whether it's deep house, Romanian minimal, artful techno, or emotive progressive house. Melody unites it all - whimsical keys and curious synth patterns that stir a wide range of emotions and get lodged deep in the memory. For Atish, the challenge is to lead an audience into unexpected new worlds: they won't know how they got there but will be delighted when they arrive. It's a subtle skill he has mastered
while never taking himself too seriously.

His own productions have come on cultured labels like Anjunadeep, Satya, and Stil Vor Talent. The Manjumasi Music label he co-founded with Mark Slee in 2016 deals in house with real heart and musicality. The aim is simply to work with artists whose music they admire; to give a leg up to those who deserve it, then watch them grow, whether with his label or elsewhere.

He is similarly open-minded and candid on social media and recently wrote some software to analyze a year's worth of playlists before discussing the results. He's also keen to demystify the often shadowy and secretive world of DJing and production and open it up to all, which is why he started his own unique party series, Late Night Tonite. Each event started with a sit-down interview with the guest and a conversation about the creative arts before the dancing began.
That now dormant concept led Atish to start his own mentorship program during the Covid lockdowns. He continues it to this day, with students enjoying one-on-one coaching, feedback, and advice sessions in which he shares what he has learned about all aspects of the industry.

In truth, this career chose him rather than the other way around: as a long-time and obsessive music collector, he was happy enough to play on the side around his software engineering day job. But he was making such a mark on the parties he played that word got out and the bookings kept on coming. He decided to throw himself into music rather than live to regret the missed opportunity and hasn't looked back since.

Atish has forged his own path and proven that DJs need not hide behind the music. Instead, Atish is right there to share the moments with you.

I heard you like bad boys.  That's good, 'cuz i'm bad at everything.

Rainbow Laces, born John Le Drew, is a maverick artist renowned for his compelling fusion of orchestral and choral elements with cutting-edge beats and synthesisers. Hailing from the artistic haven of Hackney Wick, his sound is an immersive tapestry reflecting his surroundings and the indelible influences from the trip-hop era of the '90s and early '00s.

John's passion for music blossomed in his childhood, as he creatively experimented with his father's reel-to-reel and cassette tapes. The dawn of digital music production tools later transformed his artistic landscape, providing a wider canvas for his inventive spirit. Propelled by his passion for dance music, he began his DJing journey in 2019. Despite the challenges brought by the 2020 COVID-19 lockdown, he pivoted, co-organising online charity music festivals and successfully raising over $40,000.

Rainbow Laces isn't just a stage name—it's a symbol of John's triumphant journey towards self-acceptance and authenticity. Living with dyspraxia and dysgraphia, John faced struggles as mundane yet symbolic as tying shoelaces. However, a serendipitous encounter with a set of vibrant laces inspired him to openly embrace his challenges, weaving this narrative into the very fabric of his musical identity.

A proud gay man, Rainbow Laces was born on June 25th, the same date as the debut of the Pride Flag—an alignment that has become deeply symbolic for him. His music is a powerful expression of this personal alignment and his commitment to diversity. His recent releases serve as compelling embodiments of this synthesis, marrying grand orchestral arrangements with contemporary beats and synthesisers.

As Rainbow Laces continues his artistic journey, he remains dedicated to celebrating the unique narratives of his audience. He strives to mirror their authentic experiences through the eloquent language of his music.

About meeeee:
My name is Borzu (also go by Bo Borzu) - I'm a DJ, music producer, and event producer, based in SF and NYC. I've had the fortunate opportunity to play gigs regularly over the last 16 years at various underground warehouse events, clubs, and festivals across the US and parts of the world like Europe and South America. My residencies these days where I perform regularly include the infamous ZERO events in NYC, resident and part of the founding crew that makes the Disco Knights Burning Man camp happen. In San Francisco, resident DJ at my own Deep Blue and Hacienda events, a production company I co-founded where I regularly DJ alongside headliners such as Solomun, Maceo Plex Lee Burridge, Dubfire.. etc. In 2015, I teamed up with my good friend and mentor, Lee Burridge, to produce the All Day I Dream events in SF and Dj at some of them.

Initially established in 2003 at The Eagle in London’s Vauxhall, Horse Meat Disco has evolved into a powerful force in queer and club culture as a whole, while staying local to its original home, each and every Sunday. Co-founded by James Hillard and Jim Stanton, and encompassing residents Severino and Luke Howard, the crew continue to maintain not only the weekly Sunday party, but a number of residencies in cities across the world, alongside a kaleidoscope of club appearances, festival dates and specially curated mixes.

Taking inspiration from a diverse, counter-cultural history of clubs and DJs, as well as from the sprawling, ever-expanding musical collections of it's resident crew, the sound of HMD is impossible to place. Nonetheless their style is undeniable, as is a popper-scented air of sheer authenticity. Rooted in hedonism, rhythm, freedom and emotion, a Horse Meat Disco set reinforces everything invigorating about disco, as comfortable as shattering old-school mirror ball cliches as basking in their light.

A typical HMD set blends classics, italo disco, house, oddities and punk funk, to conjure their initial spirit of “a queer party for everyone”, including, but not limited to, “Homos and Heteros, club kids, bears, fashionistas, naturists, guerilla drag queens and ladies who munch.” They have made appearances on every notable club scene in the modern world, as well as those beyond, and have long been a key fixture at festivals including Glastonbury, Bestival and Festival No.6.

Outside of the club, the Horse Meat Disco train rolls across the airwaves on Rinse FM, where the crew hold down a weekly residency every Sunday afternoon, serving as a pre and post-club Sunday lunch accompaniment, often delving into the more soulful shades of their sublime taste, often encompassing rave groove, gospel and whatever they can’t get away with on the dancefloor (which, as the years have proven, isn’t much). A series of expertly curated and acclaimed compilations for reissue label Strut helped further cement HMD’s formidable but communal reputation as disco masterminds, spreading their sound and many enviable obscurities into front rooms and record bags across the world. Their latest, ‘Meat Me Down the Disco’, was released on Z Records in 2017.

After decades of crate digging, globetrotting and partying, the HMD story continues apace. 2017 also saw the crew record their long-awaited contribution to BBC Radio 1’s ‘Essential Mix’, as well as their first joint foray into production, ‘Waiting For You To Call’, featuring Roy Inc., and released on their own, self-titled imprint. They are currently working on new music to be released with Glitterbox, with the new single ‘Let’s Go Dancing’ released in December 2018.
