Lady Starlight live / Volvox / Aöcram / Demi Riquísimo / Ian Crane b2b RYKER / adobeprincess

Lady Starlight’s hardware live sets are some of the best in techno today. Embracing a radical simplicity, Starlight keeps the focus on the raw power of her machines, coaxing a vast and enveloping sound world from only a few sources. Starlight’s music has found a home on many of the best imprints in the world today - Tresor, WSNWG and Figure, to name a few. It’s a testament to both the technical mastery and honed musical vision she embodies. Volvox joins her. One of the key voices in NY techno for over a decade, Volvox’s evolution from hometown hero to a global talent has felt both remarkable and inevitable. She approaches the craft of DJing with a confidence and rigor that few can match. Aöcram returns following their appearance at the MORD night last October. Aöcram’s affiliation with the landmark label (as well as other significant imprints like Axis, Semantica and Kopakt) should come as no surprise; their music exemplifies the throbbing power and hypnotic, scorched-earth darkness that has become synonymous with the name. Demi Riquísimo makes his debut in STUDIO. The Detroit-born, London-based artist has become a certified breakout, pushing a delicious take on italo-drenched disco house. Tracks like “Don’t Go Away” feel like instant classics, with an uncontainable energy and cresting, euphoric highs that leap out of the speakers from the first moment. His Semi Delicious label boasts a head-turning roster of fellow party starters as well, positioning Riquísimo at the center of a thrilling artistic moment. This will be a treat. Ian Crane and Ryker keep the flow going with their b2b. A perfect compliment and perfect example of opposites attracting, Crane and Ryker draw out the best in each other. adobeprincess makes her return. A longtime fixture on NY’s trippier corners, adobeprincess evokes a deep rainforest psychedelia in her winding, carefully-tuned sets.
