Baby Weight, aka Cara Eser, is a DJ, producer, and label boss from Washington, D.C. who has gained notoriety for her “chunky” style of dance music. Her “heart on your sleeve” mentality, genre bending sound, and advocacy for more inclusivity within dance music has earned her the respect of peers like Kevin Knapp, Walker & Royce, Shiba San, Steve Darko, Sacha Robotti, Treasure Fingers, Justin Martin, and LP Giobbi among others. In 2017, Eser founded the label Chub Rub which they use to showcase emerging sounds from under the radar artists across the house music spectrum. Under her direction, Chub Rub has amassed a cult following curated around quirkiness, community, and diversity. In 2019, her debut album ‘Phases’ peaked in multiple Top 10 charts on Beatport and spawned an equally as popular remix album in 2020. In 2020, she publicly came out as transgender citing a need to address her transition as an artist as well as in her personal life. Later that year, their track “Rave Police” reached #1 paving the way to a wider audience. In 2021, Baby Weight was featured in Mixmag as part of their ongoing ‘Impact’ series along with a critically well received guest mix. With a dynamic energy and the future in her sights, Baby Weight is a tech house powerhouse to keep your eye on.

Producer based in Los Angeles, USA.

CRAY, short for Cheney Ray, is not actually an abbreviation for “crazy.” However, the LA-based producer, DJ, artist, and gamer has been effortlessly styling Crocs and cultivating a fan base at a rate that could be defined as such, thanks to her sincere nature, genre-defiant bangers, humorous observations on life and relentless dedication to high-quality snackage since she entered the scene in 2015. After relocating from her hometown of Vancouver to Southern California to pursue warmer weather and a sociology degree at Chapman University, she decided to put her early love for electronic music to work, initially seeking to pursue a career in artist management. Not one to half-ass anything, she dedicated herself to learning to produce music firsthand, to fully understand what being a musician entails. It wasn’t long after she began creating her own sounds that she fell in love with making music, realized “damn…I’m pretty fucking good at this,” and started playing shows under her childhood nickname-turned-stage name, CRAY.

HVDES

Position: Producer
Email: jordan@tfmmgmt.com
Categories: Drum & Bass, Dubstep, Electro Pop, Electronica

Producer based in Los Angeles, USA.

Supported by electronic staples including deadmau5, REZZ, Black Tiger Sex Machine, Adventure Club, and more, HVDES brings a blackhearted yet thrilling aura to the next generation of electronic music. With deep roots in her local punk scene, HVDES possesses a versatile grasp of music across the spectrum, beginning with her earliest talents as a classically trained pianist. Armed with her influences in the rock scene and a laptop, HVDES found her sound by expressing her authentic self — turning the darkest corners of her life into music, HVDES offers a strikingly sinister sound that resonates on the dance floor. Much like the ruler of the underworld, the sheer intensity of HVDES’ trademark sound represents her fierce persona. There’s a reason HVDES has released on labels such as Kannibalen, mau5trap, Brooklyn Fire, and more: she’s nailed the electro-driven midtempo sound in her own signature style. In 2019, HVDES unleashed her pivotal Stand Alone Complex EP via Kannibalen and made her mau5trap debut on We Are Friends, Vol. 9 with her single “Let Me Go.” What’s more, HVDES has toured alongside legendary acts such as The Bloody Beetroots and performed around the world, embarking on her first international tour in China in 2019. For the misfits and the misunderstood, HVDES delivers both a comforting and cutting-edge perspective on the dark side of life. Creating beauty where there’s pain, the sound of HVDES cuts deep in all the right places.
