TAYHANA ~
Argentinian DJ and producer, Tayhana, has established herself, in a short period of time, as one of the most relevant and promising figures in the club scene around the world. Self-taught by her experience as a founder of one of the most radical parties in South America that revalued the original music of the continent, she is recognized as a central figure in the Club Latinx genre. Thanks to her aggressive way of playing, a fearless imagination mixing different rhythms, BPMs and a wide range of experimental sounds from Latin America, but mostly because of her creative capacity as a producer and a beatmaker to push the boundaries of what has been possible in the encounter of urban and traditional music from all over the continent, she has called the attention of artists such as Rosalía, Daniela Lalita, Mare Advertencia Lírica, Gaika, among many others producers and well known DJs in the industry.
Currently based in México, she has been part of the record label N.A.A.F.I, with whom she released her first albúm “Tierra del Fuego”, with great acceptance and broad recognition by the specialized media in the electronic music scene. The impact of this singular approach to club music gave her the chance to be booked in extensive tours around Europe, Asia and all over Latin America.
Over the last few years she has played in a wide range of the most relevant festivals that embrace club culture such as Primavera Sound, Lollapalooza (ARG), Mutek (USA), Unsound (POL), Festival Estereo Picnic (CO), Festival Ceremonia (MX), SXSW (TX) and also institutions like MoMA Ps1 (NY-USA) among many others.
Recently, Tayhana’s work as a music producer and a beatmaker, has been selected and recognized in large scale productions by artists such as GAIKA and ROSALÍA, for whom she produce the beat “CUUUUUuuute” for her world acclaimed latest album “Motomami”, being the only female producer involved on the record that would win ‘Best Alternative Album’ at the GRAMMY Awards and ‘Album of the Year’ at the LATIN GRAMMYS Awards. But also, she has been invited as a producer in the original soundtrack of WAKANDA FOREVER, one of the latest blockbuster movies of MARVEL, next to the artist Foudeqush with the song “Con la brisa”.
In the past decade, the relevance of her work has not only inspire the multiplication and emergence of differents clubs centered in electronic music from Latin America, but also a broad number of producers and djs, specially females, opening a new kind of recognition to the beautiful complexity of the sound of Latinx culture.

Doubt ~

A co-founder of the Flood label, that has enjoyed success with releases from Ovid, Lithe, Ozwald, Circuit 900, as well as from Ollie himself and affiliate Tension. Raw, primal, and body focused. It probably the best way to describe the sound of Doubt & Flood, boasting some of the most interesting music out there since their initiation in 2017. Also a keen party starter, they have been running a crucial set of shows in Cork under the Dose banner, creating spaces & events for local talent in the area as well as the diaspora with their annual summer weekender standing out as a key date in the Irish music calendar.
Recently Ollie has opened up for acts like L-VIS 1990, LCY, INVT & Swimful, whilst also appearing on the latter’s Rinse FM show last month.
DJ MM ~
One half of the illustrious Async Figure, MM is another low key global force within the percussive led club world. With many releases on Tsuzing’s Sea Cucumber and NKC’s Even the Strong, his sound consistently boasts a palpable energy drawing on mutations of 90s grunge and big beat, and led with layers of modern hip-hop, techno and hard drum foundations.
MM sets are restless and hyperactive, burning through all genres and tempos. But he is best known for drummy techno-esque club hits like ‘9th Ritual’ and ‘Terrible Muscle’.
Tekhole ~
Tekhole is a multi-genre DJ and producer. Influenced by her South African roots, she draws inspiration from the powerful baselines of Gqom and traditional tribal sounds.
Her sets blend organic drum beats with playful but melodic electro, techno and breaks and have become a common sound on the Glasgow circuit having performed at M4 Festival in August, and at parties like Flosc and Mojxmma of late. As well as this they can be heard monthly on Clyde Built Radio with their new show Kutamba now gracing the iconic station. Involuntary booty bouncing guaranteed with Tekhole!
