IYKYK by 4AM NYC + VARSHA

IYKYK ~If You Know You Know~ is a compilation project curated by 4AM NYC + VARSHA, championing femme & nonbinary talent from underground dance music communities worldwide. Each producer featured is known for a particular style of dance music, but they have all come together under one "roof" with this particular release to create a signature track in the spirit of House and its ethos: to move people, together — regardless of where they, or the music originated from.

The result is a collection of 17 incredible tracks: dreamy, dramatic and deep cuts for the warm up hours, heavy hitters for peak time, and fun & playful joints that can weave in and out of any dj set. Breaks, UK garage, ambient, deep, club, ballroom, techno, synth-driven, hip-house, and other influences come through across the selection.

It's no secret that femme and nonbinary talent is grossly underrated and under-appreciated in today's marketplace, and that is one of the many reasons that VARSHA & 4AM NYC are so excited to work with Air Texture to push these artists to the forefront of electronic dance music worldwide!

VARSHA | DJ, freestyle dancer, and model from the San Francisco Bay Area, and is bicoastal between New York and the west coast. Her music taste and DJ practice is deeply inspired by the communities of artists and dancers from the queer and freestyle dance cultures that she is a part of, primarily the freestyle house dance & ballroom scenes. Through her bouncy, playful, and deep selections she strives to channel the vibrant energy of these scenes, encouraging party-goers to feel boundless in their bodies and their movement.

She's passionate about bringing the underground club scene & dancers back together, by nurturing self-expression, joy, and community at her events — an aim which she achieves via her seminal Oakland-based party and monthly radio show, BODY HIGH.

4AM NYC | DJ, producer, booker and educator 4AM NYC has been an integral part of the New York Underground music scene for over a decade. Founding and running the beloved party series and radio show, Spiritual Mental Physical since 2017, they have held down residencies at some of New York's finest venues, including Good Room, Public Records and Le Bain.

As a DJ they provide nights of music unbound by genre, dedicated to the dance floor, and ruled by a furious & vivid emotional spectrum. Their delivery is always uncompromising and energizing, passionate and sincere.

As a booker they are known as head of the house at Gabriela in Brooklyn- every audiophile’s oasis in a sea of homogeny; every open-minded dancer’s secret escape from the mainstream.
