Monica Kamara, aka Monicashflow, is a DJ and sonic curator who moves through sound as a storyteller. Rooted in diasporic rhythms and led by intuition, she blends Afro House, ambient, Gqom, Jazz, Batida, Baile Funk, and beyond creating immersive soundscapes that honor emotions, ignite movement, and cultivate collective joy. Her sets, whether at parti parties, festivals, or curated events, invite bodies into motion and minds into trance, sculpting sonic journeys that are both healing and high energy.
Whether as a photographer or a DJ, Agneskena wants to tell a story and reach people’s hearts. Her music selection is a reflection of her own world and fantasies. It is a balanced blend of energetic and seductive sounds that she juggles with during her sets. She aims to make you forget time for a brief moment.
Anti Ribeiro, from Sergipe, Brazil, is a sound researcher whose compositions have featured at the Venice Biennale and London’s Serpentine Pavilion. As a DJ, she crafts immersive, genre-defying sets shaped by deep bass frequencies that resonate through the body and awaken the subconscious. Drawing from styles like house, jungle, baile funk, and breakbeat, her performances are unpredictable sonic journeys that disrupt and reconfigure the dance floor."
