HEADLINER

DJ_Dave is the performing alias of Sarah Davis, a New York based electronic artist working at the forefront of live coding and the algorave movement. Rather than mixing prerecorded tracks, she builds rhythms, basslines, and melodies in real time by writing code in environments such as Sonic Pi and Strudel, often projecting her screen so audiences can watch the music take shape. Her catalog includes tracks like Castles, Bloom, and Hard Refresh that pair algorithmic construction with pop and club sensibilities. She is closely tied to the NYC experimental and hyperpop adjacent electronic scene and has shared stages and toured with artists including Hannah Diamond. Her performances have reached festival, museum, and university stages through her Always Learning Tour, helping bring a once niche practice to broader dance audiences.

Electronic

Arushi Jain is a New Delhi born composer, vocalist, and modular synthesist currently based in Brooklyn. Her practice bridges centuries old Hindustani classical ragas with contemporary electronic sound design, utilizing modular synthesis to create immersive, textural soundscapes. Signature releases include the acclaimed Under the Lilac Sky (2021, Leaving Records) and the 2024 album Delight (Leaving Records), both of which explore the intersection of traditional Indian vocal motifs and experimental electronic production. She has performed at festivals such as CTM, Unsound, and Roskilde, and maintains residencies at NTS Radio and boxout.fm. Her work is defined by a meditative, atmospheric aesthetic that prioritizes emotional resonance and the exploration of human connection through sound. Jain stands out for her ability to synthesize disparate musical lineages into a cohesive, personal language that challenges rigid genre boundaries.
