I'm Siânageddon, a DJ, musician, and producer based in London, with a Latin soul. I'm known for bringing energy to the dancefloor with tunes from house, Latin-Afro rhythms, hardgroove, deep tech, disco, and breaks weaved in with 90s and jazz flavours. 

My sets make eclectic journeys across the world, through genres, tracing lines from past to present, and making connections between the rare and the popular.

I cut my teeth playing raves all over East London’s underground warehouse scene, and my highlights now include: Glastonbury, Boomtown, The Cause, Electric Picnic, Voices Radio, Electrowerkz, Aaja Radio, Nachtlicker, Grow Hackney Wick, Another Love Story, Camp Wildfire, Nowhere, Patchworks, Green Gathering, Decom, Folklore, Low Profile Studios, Les Ateliers (Castres), Wyldfest, Oddfolk, Culto Bar (Brasília), and Manchester Street Arts Club.

Under Siânageddon I mix energetic tunes to make the dancefloor vibe, I'm an eclectic multi-genre dj playing anywhere from 90-145bpm - depending on the crowd - across: house (hip, deep, latin, afro, jazz, tech, and melodic), deep tech/minimal, organic latin (samba, cumbia, folklorico, salsa, baile funk, bossa-jazz...), disco (nu, classic and Brazilian boogie), 90s rave and acid house, hard house, hardgroove, breakbeat, and organic afro (afrobeat, amapiano…). 

Under Siân Of Ghosts I mix an ethereal blend of melodic and tech house, and deep tech, being 1/4 of the electronica band Of Ghosts and Other Forms.

The uniting thread throughout my music is a love of groove, syncopation, and melodic vox elements. My sound is inspired by my love for live music (as a multi-instrumentalist playing in bands for years), by my love affair with South America (having spent four years there now), by my FLINTA/queer communities, and the free party rave scene. I'm a mp3 crate digger - I love exploring genres, influences, and music history - connecting the dots between old and new, and between the rare and the popular.

DJ Mochi is a Chicago-based DJ, producer, and event curator. He is recognized for his worldwide outlook on music, seamlessly weaving together crowd favorites with lesser-known gems and remixes spanning the globe. From Hip-Hop and R&B to Afrobeats and Dancehall to Amapiano and House, his selections transport audiences to clubs around the world.

Mochi got his start spinning records as a student at the University of Oregon, where he hosted several radio programs on KWVA 88.1 FM. Since relocating to Chicago in 2016, he has brought his sound to dozens of venues across the city, landing residencies at local hot spots like Soho House, Ace Hotel, and Blind Barber.

In 2020, amidst the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Mochi co-launched Global Currency, a live-stream event on Twitch celebrating international sound system culture. Since landing a new home at Sleeping Village at the start of 2022, the event has quickly emerged as one of Chicago’s hottest dance parties. As a brand, Global Currency has officially partnered with Red Bull, featured top DJs from around the country, and headlined multiple music festivals to date. 

Mochi’s versatility as an artist has led him to a variety of high-profile bookings. 
He has  performed at Soulection's “Link Up” event, spun official after-parties for Afrobeats superstars like Burna Boy and BNXN (FKA Buju), and directly supported global talent, including Tame Impala, Lizzo, Tierra Whack, and Juls. Mochi frequently travels throughout North America, appearing on stages in New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Toronto, Denver, Indianapolis, and Portland. 
In 2022, the Chicago Reader recognized Mochi for “Best career breakout by a DJ” in their annual Best of Chicago edition.

For Mochi, music is a universal language that has the unique power to connect people. His mission as a DJ is to build a diverse and forward-thinking community, open to fresh sounds and experiences.

Connecting club culture to the wider world, on screen and irl through parties, film and video.
