//Volvox//
Volvox has been pushing the sound and spirit of underground dance culture since 2006. No matter the situation she captures the crowd with everything from raw acid and EBM-flavored techno, to dreamy sensual deep house. Based in NYC since 2011, she currently holds one residency in Brooklyn: JACK DEPT. NYC 1st Fridays at notorious underground hotspot Bossa Nova Civic Club with John Barera of Supply Records. Since moving to NYC she has skillfully risen through the ranks of Brooklyn DJs playing breakthrough gigs for The Long Count, Lost Soul, and S!CK parties, opening for dance luminaries such as The Hacker, Heather Heart and Tony Humphries. 2015 was a breakout year appearing in Detroit, Montreal and San Juan, Puerto Rico with the DISCWOMAN crew. She was tapped to perform at POP Montreal festival by techno producer Black Asteroid as direct support for the inaugural date of his PITCH BLACK tour series. In New York she featured at Le Bain, Output and Good Room and in the fall she will be performing at Sustain-Release Festival in Upstate New York and VIA Festival in Pittsburgh as well as at DISCWOMAN showcases in Toronto and Mexico City.

//UMFANG//
UMFANG was born in the Bronx, grew up in Kansas and has been living in Brooklyn for 4 years. She quickly derailed her original plan to work in textiles and instead opted for techno. She is a resident DJ at Bossa Nova Civic Club and runs a monthly: Technofeminism, which has been met with acclaim and much support. She’s played alongside Kim Ann Foxman, opened for Zara Wladawsky & Aurora Halal’s festival Sustain Release in its inaugural year, has performed memorable sets with DIY duo Long Count Cycle and closed out DISCWOMAN in Puerto Rico. UMFANG is one of the leading women in the rapidly growing New York City techno scene and has releases coming out on 1080p and videogamemusic.
