back in september i had the chance to play the @sustain-release-nyc year ten pool party—probably my favorite part of the festival after years i been attending. i was lucky to share the decks with fam and favs rose kourts and colored craig, which made it even more special <3 

as some know, this set was originally meant to be a b2b with sekucci and i , but due to some last-minute changes, we had to pivot and i ended up playing solo. this one’s dedicated to u—sending much love ur way always 💞

was lucky to get the recording of the set, though i had no idea it was being captured. it came out super blown out, but huge thanks to love letters for working their mixing and mastering magic to bring some life back into it. the result is crunchy, textured, and a bit raw, but it feels right.

the energy that day was unmatched, and this set holds a special place in my lil heart. if you were there, thank you for dancing and being part of that moment. if not, tap in and let me know what you think—so glad this lil time capsule made it 😁

high energy rave sound live from the warehouse

live @ zero chill halloween

TYGAPAW LIVE at Nocturnal Emissions 01/11/25, in Brooklyn, New York. TYGAPAW unleashed a beautifully relentless peak hour set at Nocturnal Emissions on 01/11/25, seamlessly blending the percussive power of dancehall with their signature emotional, driving techno. Pulsing with urgency and defiance, this set is a kinetic journey through sound, resistance, and release. Listen to more on TYGAPAW's SoundCloud https://soundcloud.com/tygapaw

TYGAPAW grew up as Dion McKenzie in Mandeville, Jamaica. Today, the Artist, producer, DJ and label owner resides in Brooklyn, New York, where they have spent the better part of a decade uplifting frequencies representative of the Black electronic music diaspora. Their sonic palette—informed by the dancehall of their hometown as much as it is the techno emanating from the warehouses of Detroit—has made them an indispensable figure in Brooklyn's electronic music scene.

Since 2014, McKenzie has been carving spaces in New York for queer people of color through their queer club night, and now label, Fake Accent. The platform is part of their broader mission to forge liberating spaces for marginalized people, particularly Black, queer and trans people, an agenda embedded in the various layers of the artist's work. Early records like the breakthrough EP Handle With Care (2019), Ode To Black Trans Lives (2020) and their debut album, Get Free (2020) established McKenzie not only as a skillful producer, but further as an emotive storyteller. Through their production, they are known to weave together stories of queer immigrant life, radical self-preservation and Black communal joy.

Their music, much like New York, is a cultural stew made vibrant by influences as local as New York's ballroom community and as distant as Berlin's hard techno circuit. In 2021, one of techno's most vital institutions, the Berlin venue and record label Tresor, enlisted MacKkenzie to contribute to their 30th anniversary compilation, where the musician was in the company of techno luminaries like fellow contributors Juan Atkins, K-HAND and Robert Hood. In 2022, McKenzie brought their visionary take on techno to life with a three-part techno opera, Devil Woman (Obeah Woman)—the first iteration of which premiered at New York's The Chocolate Factory Theater, and Queens Museum before the project traveled to Berlin.

2023, TYGAPAW's second album love has never been a popular movement, was released on fabric Originals in the spring. This album is a special one for several reasons: It's the first album the musician produced with hardware rather than Ableton, their first record that features their vocals prominently and it also sees McKenzie try their hand at songwriting. In eight tracks that hopscotch across atmospheric techno and East Coast club, love has never been a popular movement addresses, with unshakable confidence, fierce self-love and TYGAPAW's journey as a Jamaican reckoning with their trans identity.

NOCTURNAL EMISSIONS is a trippy mix-mash of house, techno and trance with Latin / tribal influence; a distorted, sound-bending, mind-fuck that will leave you suspended with the vibrations of the night. bit.ly/nocturnalnyc for next events and more info. Live set mastered by @djjohnnyi

Sterling Juan Diaz Live @ FAW: Feminización Americana Worldwide 03-15-2025 (Opening Set)

After years of underwhelming dance floors and sadness at the disinheritance of blackness from techno and house music especially on the LA scene, we’ve begun a social experiment, coalition, cloud formation; entitled “rave reparations”. The initiative aims to help build relationships between local black DJs, specifically queer / femme / bipoc and house/techno promoters who are largely not of these communities. We also call on support from these lesser marginalized bodies in conscripting venues and fiscal support for parties thrown by the aforementioned groups.

PRE ORDER

Gabss, Roddy Lima - Funky Beat (Out 5th September)

"ASCENSION" is the debut album release from artist ston, an independently released project. 

For Ascension, I set out to explore hard house, bassline, and electronic elements throughout.

This body of work means a lot to me; it took up six months of my life and taught me so much about music production. It also taught me the importance of committing to what you set out to achieve and the struggles that can come with that. Most importantly, it showed me that imperfection is okay when the alternative is procrastination.

I created this album using the DAW FL Studio, and as of its release, I’ve begun transitioning to Ableton, a commitment I set for myself when I first began this project.
Through this experience, I’ve learned that moving forward, I want to dive into more intricate ideas and trust my creative process without falling into the trap of comparing my work to others. I’m eager to experiment with more abstract percussions, deeper emotional progressions, and unconventional grooves. It’s going to be a journey, but I’m excited for it to begin.

If you connected with any of the music from this release, I’d love to hear from you.  I’m excited to continue exploring! 

Shoutout Splice lol
