https://soundcloud.com/djedjotronic: I wanted this mix to be as close as possible to what i play during my performances. A mix of old and new that tends to make bridges between different eras and genres. It’s a physical thing, a tribal experience to connect your body to the ground.

« Proudly unconventional, no smooth edges, no polished veneer, just dystopian drama with a tangible physical aesthetic »

Active for about fifteen years in the electronic music scene, Djedjotronic has forged a strong and distinctive musical identity. Inspired by retro futuristic aesthetics and the rave culture of the mid-90’s, he’s above all a music producer and a sound enthusiast. With a great curiosity about the relationship between art & technology, Djedjotronic found in the machines, the perfect vessel to explore his creativity. 

After collaborating with iconic artists such as Miss Kittin, Boys Noize, Douglas Mc Carthy and remixing the band Depeche Mode, Djedjotronic released his debut album 'R.U.R' on Boysnoize Records in 2018. Navigating between martial Electronic Body Music, Kraftwerkian BO and leftfield techno, he crafts the sonic manifesto that he continues to develop on his solo EPs for labels such as International Chrome or Italo Moderni. 

In 2023 he completed the production for the album 'God Is A Woman' by Swedish artist REIN and wrote the soundtrack for the short film ‘Le Ciel' by Sebastien Jounel, Djedjotronic is now preparing to unveil a series of singles on his own label, Superwave.

Sissies of Mercy is the back-to-back collaboration between longtime best-friends sam & austen. Born out of their love for dancing together, their sound as a duo balances playful nostalgia and raunchy darkness to command a sweaty dancefloor.  Weaving together diva-fueled house, sparkly 80's pop, nasty acid, and cheeky electro, Sissies' sets create shared moments of freedom and transcendent joy fueled by love and light. 

Between their residency at Gabriela, frequent sets at Brooklyn institutions such as Paragon, House of Yes, Bossa Nova Civic club, and at least one gig basically everywhere else, Sissies are forging a path for TS world (nyc) domination.
