Hard techno and hardcore producer. Made his NYC debut at NEXO with SLIST on December 19, 2025.
Rob GEE, the founder of American Gabber, is "the hardest DJ to ever play the Limelight in NYC." In the club's early 90's heyday, the versatile GEE kept delirious audiences going through spinning at Limelight's "Future Shock" dance/techno nights and performing with his live band as well as spinning at the club's "Rock And Roll Church" metal/ rock/ industrial nights. The crowds kept coming back to Limelight, just like they did at Electric Daisy Carnival, DefQon 1, & Tomorrowland just to name a few. GEE's history of DJing and live performances shows his dedication of bringing the fusion of organic and electronic music to a wide variety of listeners. "The Gabber Guru," as GEE is known for his constant motivation of #PositivianVibes gained worldwide fame after the release of "Ecstasy You Got What I Need". Look out later this year, nu metal will meet hardcore in the studio ring when Rob GEE teams up with no other than Shavo Odadjian of System Of A Down. Rob GEE won't be stopped!!!!!! The sound is 100% Rob GEE, which means eclectic, unexpected and completely unique.
Gabriel Uy, better known as 4YÛ, is a 31-year-old Asian American electronic music producer and DJ based in New York City. He broke into the industry early, launching his artist career at 21, and has built a steady, impressive resume in the years since. In 2025, 4YÛ expanded into major new markets with performances in Las Vegas, Chicago, and the Poconos, alongside a set at the renowned Elements Festival. He closed out the year with his first performance in Asia, DJing in Bangkok, further strengthening his growing global footprint. 4YÛ has earned support from notable DJs including Marlo, Andrew Rayel, and B Jones, and has signed tracks to respected labels such as Find Your Harmony, Reaching Altitude, and Interplay. Looking ahead, he's eager to expand beyond New York — performing in new countries and cities around the globe and bringing trance to the main stages. With momentum building, 4YÛ is positioned for a defining 2026.
Saimon discovered techno at a Brooklyn rave during the lockdowns of March 2021. A few months later he traveled to CDMX as a tourist, picked up Spanish, founded SLIST as a promoter, and started learning how to DJ from local event organizers. Saimon returned to NYC in early 2023, started a local chapter for the SLIST project, and began throwing his own parties later that year. Saimon likes to stir the pot with crazy lineups and critical commentary about our local rave scenes. His curation is heavily influenced by the genre-free experimental scene of CDMX - his library features everything from dark ambient to industrial hardcore, but for listeners every set is vastly different depending on the time and setting. The only constant is “dark music only.”

An Ivy League graduate, Firebunny is a New York–based techno DJ, producer, and multidisciplinary artist of Chinese and Japanese heritage. Showing musical talent from an early age, she wrote and recorded her first song at just 16, having already mastered piano and electric guitar and founded two punk rock bands during her teens. That diverse background fuels her vibrant, genre-bending sound, blending relentless kicks, emotional synth, industrial grit, and dynamic rhythms into high-impact performances that must be experienced live. Her storied DJ sets are intentional journeys exploring tension, design, catharsis, and euphoric release. Fusing industrial textures, rolling basslines, and relentless kicks, she crafts emotional narratives that awaken primal energy—no two sets are the same. As a producer, Firebunny works in hard techno and hardcore-driven techno, weaving metal and rock influences, melancholic melodies, and her own original vocals into seductive, hypnotic soundscapes charged with raw, explosive energy.
HEX000 is the trance project of Portuguese American DJ and producer Michael Vilar. Growing up in a Portuguese family in New Jersey, trance was always around. From car rides to family parties and everything in between, melodic electronic music was a huge part of what inspired his love for dance music. After years of making a name for himself in the hard techno scene as MAV, HEX000 is a chance to go back to the sound that started it all. Focusing on uplifting melodies, emotional breakdowns, progressive grooves, and festival energy, HEX000 blends classic trance influences with a modern edge. Whether it’s timeless anthems, exclusive edits, or original productions, every HEX000 set is about creating a feel good atmosphere and giving people a moment they’ll remember. This isn’t a switch in direction it’s another side of the same artist, built on the music that came first.
