Welcome Home Grad School Celebration for ROSTEK!

Roy Rosenfeld has established a successful music career by collaborating with several leading record labels in the House music industry, including "All Day I Dream" by Lee Burridge, on "Lost & Found" Records by Guy J, under Guy Gerber's imprint "Rumors," and on Sebastien Leger's label "Lost Miracle."

“These days there are plenty of genres and styles within the electronic scene, which cause our minds to be fixated / square and stuck into the “rules” of those music genres. We can always pursue those styles and learn from them a lot, but always keep a warm place for our unique sound and style. We need to preserve and protect the uniqueness and specialties of each one of us. Do not let it run next to you. I believe this is the way to success”. - Roy Rosenfeld.

Ash Lauryn balances between two worlds, with an old-school house-head foundation and a digital age suaveness, blending her skills as a deejay, writer, curator, and radio host to champion black dance music. Discovering her passion for music in her native Detroit, she was inspired to start deejaying in her current residence Atlanta, taking inspiration from the legendary Kai Alce of NDATL and Vicki Powell. After seeing a gap in representation for Black millennials in electronic music, she started her blog Underground and Black, which has since grown into a wide-ranging platform covering her annual Movement Festival party, monthly NTS show, and RA podcast of the same name.

She’s played with musicians such as Joe Claussell, Theo Parrish, Larry Heard, and Moodymann, and for festivals such as Afropunk, Dimensions, and Flow Festival Helsinki. Her writing has appeared in The Face Magazine, Mixmag, and Resident Advisor, and she recently served as a guest editor for Beatportal. She’s interviewed legends such as Robert Hood and Honey Dijon and recently curated a panel for Red Bull Arts in conversation with Waajeed and Cornelius Harris of Underground Resistance.

Lately, Ash was nominated for DJ of the Year at the 2021 Bembe DJ Awards and participated in Virgil Abloh’s Off-White SS21 “Imaginary TV” platform.

Detroit has long been a hub for electronic beat lovers and speaker freakers, but Golf Clap's Hugh Cleal aims to lead a new generation. For a decade, he's hustled the project and its Country Club Disco label to the forefront of house music's funkiest dimensions. The project (formerly a duo with Bryan Jones), works tirelessly to conjure a palpable energy, one fans can feel at every gig, be it a hot-and-heavy club set or an energetic takeover of a festival stage. Golf Clap feeds off the crowd, spinning the hottest songs of the moment while breaking new records - and this isn't any press play, hands in the air fair. You're likely to hear a lot of cutting up between facefulls of funk and bass. Fueled by a relentless passion, when Cleal isn't behind the decks, he's likely pulling all-nighters in the studio. Bodies dancing in real-time is an addiction, but when it comes to original productions or high-profile remixes, Golf Clap wants to create something for every moment.

Spybar presents the Blackflag Recordings Showcase feat. Stacey Pullen + Hector

Stacey Pullen's Blackflag label holds its place in folklore, not because of its weighty archive of releases. No. In fact, its quite the opposite.

Launched in 1998, its debut release, Black Odyssey's "Sweat", was considered somewhat of a future classic. The pseudonym under which Stacey recorded also dropped the labels second release "Stand". Both found great success and went on to be licensed to a number of compilation albums. Two more releases followed from Pure Science and Argentine collective Cutlab. Both of which featured on Stacey's "Fabric 14" mix compilation.

"I wanted to create a clean palette of 'beats' music. Programming it to deliver a serious groove that would keep on coming, progressing and leaving you wanting more." And boy has he done that.

With recent releases from Rafa Barrios, Cocodrills, Mason Collective and the maestro himself, Stacey Pullen, we can't wait to see what Blackflag has on tap next.
