BFA

BFA (Bachelors of Fine Art) is a power pop band out of New York City. Although much of their sound can be traced back to post punk and new wave bands of the ’70s and ’80s, their pop sensibility reflects that of a group of kids raised on the likes of Pavement, and then later bands like The Strokes and LCD Soundsystem. Shimmering, jangling guitars mesh with soaring synths and gripping vocals, all anchored around an explosive rhythm section that blasts through the crowd of Brooklyn chill wave acts and commands your attention. If you don’t buy it, listen to their debut single, “Skytanic,” and check out upcoming shows to say you were there from the beginning.

TraXtaR

A Miami native and Full Sail Recording Arts graduate. Danny Lopez began deejaying at 11 years old and producing at 15.
 
Speedily honing his skills, he was playing venues in South Beach and Downtown like Nikki Beach, and Fifty @ The Viceroy. Between 16 and 18 years old he made appearances under the moniker DJ PLUS, at Arkadia at The Fontainebleau (Sister club of LIV), Kyma Lounge at The Epic, Fifty at The Viceroy, Roxy Nightclub, and opened for Heroes + Villains at Club Cinema among others.
 
While earning his two year accelerated degree at Full Sail, he worked as a production assistant for HTG events in Orlando, FL; putting on shows for artists like Cedric Gervais, Steve Aoki, Adventure Club, Borgore, Treasure Fingers, Gareth Emery, Bro Safari, and many more. Promptly after returning to Miami as a graduate, Danny handled multi­media production for Pharell’s Club Silencio @ Art Basel 2013. In January 2014 he relocated to New York City. He now goes by the name TraXtaR and is organizing club events such as BFA feat. TraXtaR and Anna Kickarse at The Gallery at LPR.

AnnaKickarse

Annakickarse, the outgoing rebel, is a 21-year-old DJ, event coordinator, and artistic phenomenon from New York City who has worked her way from nothing to something.
 
In the year 2011, at age 18, Anna went to her first NYC night club and was employed as a go-go dancer. At that club, she met New York City’s number one DJ, Jess Marquis. While dancing, she had become Jess’ assistant for NYC’s longest running weekly party, ‘Trash’. This infamous, cooky and sexy Club-Kid event was held every Friday night in The Studio of Webster Hall. As his assistant, she learned the mechanics of booking events, and spent countless hours looking over the shoulder of Jess as he DJ’ed.
 

After only four months of practice under Jess and spinning some local shows, Jess gave Anna her first shot as a DJ at Webster Hall in December of 2012. It was a huge success, and in May of 2013, she was ordained as a Resident DJ of the ‘Trash’ party. In the following months, Anna would go on to release many mashups, as well as establish several of her own weekly on-going events in the Big Apple.
