Slava (Svjatoslav Presnyakov) was born in Ukraine, but grew up in The Netherlands. He started to play the piano at the age of 10 and quickly realized his musical talents as 1 year later he was admitted to the Young Talents department at the Conservatory of Rotterdam. 

After winning several 1st prizes at competitions between the age of 13 until 18 his international career as a pianist took off and he traveled the world (Europe, United States, Canada, North- and South Africa, India a.o.) performing concerts and receiving scholarships for masterclasses. Eventually he graduated his Bachelors at only 20 years old and obtained his Masters Degree at the Conservatory of Amsterdam in 2010. 

Slava discovered Psytrance in 2011 and was inspired to start producing this genre in 2016, one year later his debut EP was published, now having releases with many top labels in the scene.

"A Sid set is like riding a wave—rising from deep, hypnotic grooves to underground cuts, classic house to Afro-Latin magic—where no two nights are ever the same. With flawless precision and an instinct for reading the room, Sid shapes an immersive flow, his signature vibe pulsing as sound, space, and energy become one."

Sid Vaga is a French DJ and producer based in New York City's Lower East Side. Since taking to the decks in 1999, he's brought his infectious blend of House, Afro-Latin, funk, and deep grooves to clubs and festivals across the globe—from Berlin to Colombia, Morocco to Miami.
Raised in Paris, Sid soaked up sounds from his older brother’s record collection: fusion jazz, disco-funk, Afrobeat, Brazilian, Latin and early Hip Hop. It shaped his ear for rhythm and texture—where even silence or vinyl crackle becomes part of the groove. That early curiosity turned into a passion for moving dancefloors with soulful, percussive, and genre-blurring sets.
Sid’s vibe has lit up EXIT Festival's Urban Bug Stage in Serbia, Châlet in Berlin, We Love Summer in Morocco, and a closing set at BPM Festival in Mexico. In NYC, he’s left his mark on iconic venues like Cielo, Le Bain, Pacha, Panther Room, and LOVE. 

A long-standing Turntables on the Hudson DJ and resident of the Six Degrees parties for over a decade, Sid’s driving force contributed in shaping the globally inspired sound that helped define a generation of New York nightlife. He’s shared stages with the likes of Roy Davis Jr., DJ Spinna, Nickodemus, Peter Kruder, and Funk D’Void, earning respect for his versatility and energy behind the decks.
Following a period of personal and creative recalibration, Sid returns with a more refined and mature approach to music. With renewed focus, he's diving deeper into production and embracing the full spectrum of styles that shaped him—bringing a richer, more intentional energy to both his studio work and DJ sets.

As a producer, Sid has released original tracks and remixes on respected labels including Kling Klong, King Street, Great Stuff, Unknown Season and Wonderwheel Recordings. Some of his releases have broken into the Beatport Top 10, and has been remixed by established names in the scene.
Driven by connection and craft, Sid Vaga’s sets are always a journey—rooted in rhythm, built for the body, and full of unexpected gems.
