Florida has been on the minds of many over the past few weeks as the dust continues to settle from Miami Music Week and Ultra Music Festival, but there's been something else brewing North of that action in Orlando. That's where rising techno artist Jake Anthony resides, and he's been climbing the ranks of the scene over the past few years with his unique twist on the genre in tow.

While Jake Anthony might be one of the freshest faces in the Florida techno scene, having only released his debut single in 2023, he's quickly begun to turn heads. He's dropped off tunes on labels like SHADE, Humble House Records, and more since then. He's also picked up momentum on the performance front, playing festivals like Home Bass and Shipwrecked, as well as taking the stage at nightclubs like Gilt and The Ritz Ybor, among others.

Turn back the clock to the emergence of electronic music in the '90s, and you'll find Ward Andrews beginning his journey in the scene. His first taste of infectious grooves arrived while digging through vinyl and CDs at local record shops in Arizona, leading to him making mixtapes for friends while in high school.

Flash forward to the present, and Ward Andrews has completely embraced everything about the genre he unearthed decades ago. He took the next step a bit more recently—starting his artist project in the midst of the pandemic—but caught fire with tracks like "Do You Hear Me Now" and "Timbavati." This led to appearances at festivals like Goldrush and Decadence Arizona, along with nightclubs such as Discopussy and more.

Yari's life changed years ago when he flipped on his TV while living in Venezuela and heard Daft Punk's music for the first time. Since then, his passion for electronic music has grown with each passing year, yet it wasn't until he found a home in Orlando that his career took a huge step forward. 

Recent years have seen Yari continue his exploration in the realms of progressive house, melodic techno, and trance, all while evolving his sound along the way. This has led to releases landing on a global range of labels that include SNRG, Underzone, Never B Alone, and more, while he's also been seen taking the stage at venues up and down the East Coast.
