Belen Nadeau AKA Nyx and formerly Stiletto is not your typical DJ. One who hears how she guides you during her sets can attest to her profound ability to give the listener, the dancer and music enthusiast exactly what they didn’t know they needed to hear - at the exact right moment. The catalyst for Belen’s aspiration of spinning records began right at 18, when she went to her first underground rave. Her original thought was to be a house DJ, but the trifecta mentors that took Belen under their wings were Drum & Bass vinyl turntablists: Suicide King, Kid Collage and Jason Nix. She would learn, dance and spin records from their collection. Her debut solo DJ set was at an all female DJ lineup event called “Spin Cycle" at The Full Moon Club in Memphis, TN. By this point, Stiletto built up an eclectic array of vinyl. She proved her versatility by showing the party that a multi-genre set can be done by herself, and pulled it off with support from her mentors, friends and strangers alike. Belen assures, "…when it comes down to it, my star struck moment wasn’t about me. It was about the crowd and our relationship we created for that moment. I didn’t know half those people, but it felt like we had been long time friends experiencing a journey together. I am so glad I learned to DJ before the electronic scene blew up because I feel DJing has become such an egotistical act with the way it is portrayed in the media. It’s not about you. It is a call and response relationship and you are just a navigator."

The purist art of turntablism mixed with Belen’s pure intentions gave her many opportunities as a DJ during her reign as Stiletto. She moved from Memphis to Portland and during this time also switched from vinyl analog to Serato digital format encoded vinyl. She refused to lose the touch, the feel and overall connection she has with mixing on turntables, but knew it was certainly time to make some advancements to keep up with her competition. The metamorphosis became complete when she decided to change her DJ name in memory of the late Jason Nix, one of her mentors, her friend, and most importantly: her confidant. Stiletto transformed into the current Nyx. Since living in Portland she has played shows for Proper Movement, Pulsar Productions and West Coast Connections.

If you decide to go to an event with Nyx on the bill, the journey you experience guided by her, will transform what you think you can expect from a petite sized DJ. She may not look like she can move you from one side of the dance floor, clear to the other, but looks can be deceiving! Nyx never holds back. Every performance she brings to the turntables is guaranteed to turn heads, create sparks of smiles around the room, and get the audience to groove in unison. You cannot wait to hear her, can you? For now, you can marinate on her soundcloud page with posted sets in the studio and live.

G Prajekt is an alias of House music pioneer Radu Sapunarescu, a Dj/Producer with firm roots in the golden era of Romania's DJ scene. 
Radu grew up listening to music since 1974, discovering parent’s reel tapes recorder with jazz, blues, gospel from the 60’s-70’s like, Nat King Cole, Louis Armstrong, Marvin Gaye, The Temptations, Diana Ross to name a few, and soon he began making his own record selections. He was drawn towards Soul music, Jazz, Funk, Disco, Gospel, R’n’B and later in the 80’s also to Breakdance, street music and early house. 
In 1990 he started as a DJ on the radio, night long sessions at Fun Radio, then in 1991 on Radio Nova and he started to have first mixes with “early House” like Frankie Knuckels, D-Train, RJS Arrivals, Colonel Abrams, Adeva; The first club residency came in 1992.
In 1995 he sold his car to make a small home studio with 2 turntables (Technics SL1210MK2s) and a Numark mixer and he started to exercise with different scratch techniques and other tricks specific DJ international competitions, then following a series of live events with PRO TV, all summer at the beach in Costinesti '96, and other events in '97 live on tour in the country...
Radu has been an integral part of the Romanian House music scene and has remained so for over 30 years. Whether it be as a DJ, Producer or as a Broadcaster on Fun Radio or Nova, he has surfed the waves of musical trends but always returned to his one true love: Funk, Boogie, Deep Soulful Disco infused House.
Inspired by numerous artists like Joey Negro, Dr. Packer, LNTG, to name a few, his current output centers mainly around a distinct selection of rare Disco/Funk 70's-80’s tracks. His uncanny knack for uncovering forgotten and even ignored pearls is a true trademark today, where his sense for detail and savory style of execution combines to the trades of a true craftsman. 
He is releasing music on his own terms, fueled by his own ambition and free from the chains of other people’s expectations.
The sound is a brilliant mix between fine techniques, deep respect of the originals and real personality. And with their DJ friendly style, these forgotten treasures should quickly find a new life close to modern productions.


"The earth has music for those who listen."
“Music is the tool to express life - and all that makes a difference.”
Herbie Hancock

I started off dancing at the Brain in the westend of London, and Starlights in Paddington.  These club nights, the DJ's and the people gave me the inspiration.  I was also inspired by club nights by Sign of the times, Love Ranch,  Pushca, Lost, The Drum club, Sabres, The Zap Club, and Sancho Panza to name a few.  
I started to DJ at Bar Vinyl in Camden and Sancho Panza (who are still putting on the best parties in London).  Since then I have played at many Bars, clubs and radio stations around the World.
Hope u enjoy my mixes. Feedback always welcome.  Cheers Love, and Peace....
