Toronto-based DJ and producer Ciel brings her melody-inflected touch to The Sound Room. Her DJ sets — filled with electro-techno, dreamy house, and dubby atmospheres — are a reflection of her light-handed but defined work in the underground, namely platforming women through her Work In Progress and It’s Not U It’s Me party series and collective, respectively. Chugging bass and snappy breaks energize with ease. Brooklyn’s Physical Therapy joins her, with a withstanding reputation for high-octane breakbeat and witty techno. His label Allergy Season has been releasing genre-free, highly-emotive dance music for the past decade.

Gabrielle Kwarteng has quickly become a global figure for ’80s and ’90s house and disco interpretations; physical, affective techno; and contemporary queer rave culture. Her expertise is rarely one note, melding early Japanese disco, Brazilian funk, and Ethiopian jazz influences with contemporary appeal. Sound Gymnastics and Mister Sister affiliate Meilgaarden returns to the Atrium for another exploration in ecstasy-drenched tech house.

One half of Wrecked with Ryan Smith, Ron Like Hell is one of New York’s most exciting DJs. His taste for the obscure and alluring is sure to transform UPSTAIRS into an irresistable afterhours soundscape.
