Overall, vinyl DJing and house music go hand in hand, and both have played an important role in the evolution of electronic dance music. Vinyl records often have a warmer and richer sound than digital music. This is because vinyl records are an analog format that captures sound waves in a continuous stream, whereas digital music is a more compressed and processed format. The result is that vinyl records capture more of the nuances and imperfections of the original recording, which can give them a more organic and authentic sound. Expecially for house music this creates unique sonical experiences for the listener.
Vinyl DJing is deeply engrained in the history and culture of house music, dating all the way to the early1980s. To continue the legacy and expand the roots of house music we are excited to promote this format regularly and consistently at No Requests.
We are excited to continue to bring this format to the club and provide weekly vinyl editions for you.
It's hard to believe that we opend almost a year ago.Thank you for your support, love and grace as we went on this journey together. For our first anniversary we have planned something very special: Floorplan.
Floorplan is the father-daughter duo of Robert & Lyric Hood who have re-positioned the euphoric feel of gospel into their disco, funk and soul styled house across the world’s dancefloors.
Their latest album ‘Victorious’, the second Floorplan album that fell hot on the heels of the hit single ‘Music/Tell You No Lie’, was released in June 2016 on Robert Hood’s own M-Plant imprint. The album is the follow up to 2013’s ‘Paradise’ which spawned ‘Let’s Ride, ‘Baby Baby’ and the massive ‘Never Grow Old’
In the world of techno Robert Hood needs little introduction. Over the last 25 years his many benchmark productions have shaped the future of electronic music, in particular the unique minimalism he has made his own. For Lyric Hood, the journey begins. Having watched her father DJ the world over from the shadows and numerous appearances in the Floorplan DJ set she now comes centre-stage as co-producer and performer in the continous Hood (r)evolution.
“Hear my soul speak, is the only way I can describe the way I feel about Floorplan, (Victorious) music is in my soul, my blood, I eat and sleep beats, music, rhythms, it’s in my DNA.” Lyric Hood
The Floorplan project first came to light in 1996 when Robert Hood used it to announce his Drama imprint with the highly sought after ‘Funky Souls’ EP (subsequently re-issued by Rush Hour in 2010). Lying dormant for over a decade, the late 2000s saw a revitalized Hood re-establish Floorplan into what may well now be his most widely known musical outlet.
Now in 2016 Floorplan becomes a family affair.

Daria Kolosova’s 12 years of experience as a DJ and her keen passion for the depths of electronic music have transformed into her striking versatility and proficiency as an artist.Daria was born in the small town of Lutugino in eastern Ukraine. Her love for music was instilled by her father and her devotion to electronic music began at the age of 9 when she first heard “Diesel Power” by The Prodigy. To fuel her love for music even further, her mother sent her to music school where she studied piano. Yet being drawn to DJing from an early age, Daria embraced her vocation which led to her first performance in February 2010. Following that, she continued to actively play in clubs in Lugansk and other cities while simultaneously running her own parties.After being inspired by Kyiv electronic scene and absorbing the vastness of electronic music genres, Daria sharpens her taste and recolates to Kyiv, where she becomes the resident of Keller under her alias Dar:k and launches a series of parties Materia alongside fellow artist Berchy.
After actively being involved in the electronic music scene for some time, Daria starts to use her own name, leaving her Dar:k moniker aside as an experimental project. She began headlining most of Kyiv’s underground nightclubs, played at "Ostrov'' festival and “Techno Raczka" in Krakow. Soon after DJ Nastia offered Daria to perform a B2B which led to their first loud debut at Arma17's birthday party event at Berlin's “Funkhaus”. The performance prompted their further collaboration, which was followed by a tour in Brazil, performances in “Warung”, Boiler Room at Ibiza’s “Pacha”, “Rex” in Paris, “Fabric” in London, the Resistance party, Neopop Festival, Strichka, and many others. Daria continued to perform as a solo artist and was listed in such lineups like Berlin’s queer party “Mess”, “Tresor”, Seoul’s “Faust”, etc. In 2020 she also became the resident of Nastia’s newly launched record label NECHTO.Currently, Daria is one of the most actively growing names in the techno scene. She regularly DJs and one can witness her performances at Kyiv’s ∄, Brussel’s “Fuse”, London’s “Fold”, Awakenings, Glitch, Ickra, Tantsa, and ADE.
Daria also recently played a set for Boiler Room at Drugstore club. Her DJ set at Berlin’s famous Hör radio station hits 900 thousand views, and she is currently preparing for a tour in the US and Australia.As a DJ, Daria never aims to deliver what is expected of her, but rather tries to convey her personal narratives through music. Daria sees music as the most genuine method of communication, empathy and unity - a tool that helps her transform her distinctive energy into a story that can be shared with people on the dance floor. She desires to not only provide a danceable and enjoyable set but inspire and introduce people to something fresh and daring. Daria bases her style on hard and groovy techno, which she frequently mixes with breakbeat, electro, hardcore, or jungle, which always makes her performances unexpected and rich in genres.
Already a legendary figure in electronic music, Chez Damier has played close witness to many of the pivotal moments in the history of house and techno. Jointly responsible with studio partner Ron Trent for both Prescription Records - widely recognised as one of the greatest house labels of all time - and ‘The Morning Factory’ - one of the most ethereal jams ever to rock a room - Chez Damier is a true deep house pioneer. More than that, the Chicago DJ has played pivotal roles in the development of KMS, The Music Institute and The Bellville Three, hallowed pieces of musical history that prove his contribution to dance music over the years.
As an artist Chez Damier represents a unique blend; he is as impetuous and daring as now as in 1989 and being able to qualify this with his own unique heritage makes his releases and DJ performances doubly formidable. Today his sets are entirely unique, not just because of the experience and knowledge he can call upon. After something of a hiatus, a series of releases for the German label Mojuba signalled that he was on his way back to show the young pretenders the way and nowadays he has taken the torch of Prescription by launching Balance Alliance as a home for some of the most forward thinking and talented producers he deems fit to join him on the imprint. Studio partnerships with Parisian Ben Vedren has reignited the production flame under several alias, and so now he is back making his best work once more. A regular around the world from DC10 in Ibiza to Smart Bar Chicago and many more, Chez Damier is a modern house hero.
We are excited to host a 90 min in person vinyl workshop on Monday July 25th from 9:30-11:00 PM that will teach you the basics of DJing with vinyl.

No stranger to dance music, Bianca was born and raised in Los Angeles, CA where she grew up hearing the sounds of the city blasting out of car stereos, at backyard BBQs and parties. Her training as a dancer strengthened her love of rhythms, while her years spent hosting college radio and throwing DIY events gave her sound a uniquely underground edge. As a young adult, Bianca frequented the west coast club scene at the height of electro and blog house, where she first started DJing.
You can hear these influences in her sets and production, which blend sounds across the house, club, and global bass spectrum. Bianca Oblivion is a connector of the global club underground, drawing lines between U.S. & U.K. bass music, baile funk, reggaeton, grime, vogue and beyond. She has long been involved in multiple facets of the L.A. underground, continuously working to create spaces for femme/non-binary, queer, and POC artists in the Los Angeles nightlife scene as part of crews like Culosangeles, Club Aerobics and now Warp Mode.
Since 2017, her Club Aerobics radio show on NTS has been a staple in the underground scene, showcasing some of the most forward thinking dance music producers and DJs worldwide. In the last few years, Bianca's tracks "Bumbum Pra Ca," “Bubble Pon Di Bed,” “Selecta” and her hard UK funky/vogue remix for DJ co.kr & Riko Dan’s “Soundbwoy, Rudeboy” have been set staples for DJs all around the world, while her guest mixes for Boiler Room, Toddla T, Diplo & Friends, and Rinse FM have showcased Bianca’s talents behind the decks. In the spring of 2022 she dropped a music video for the "Bubble Pon Di Bed (Remix)," featuring club queen UNIIQU3, bad gyal British-Jamaican MC Thai Chi Rosè, and reggaeton reina Charly Gynn, shot on location in London, Mexico City, and Bianca’s hometown of Los Angeles.
Her latest releases on Jamz Supernova’s Future Bounce label ‘Bad Gyal,’ featuring Thai Chi Rosè and Dyer MC, and ‘EZ 4 Me’ featuring Eliza Legzdina, have been hitting dancefloors and radios worldwide. Bianca is gearing up for a big year, with her Boiler Room broadcast debut on the horizon and multiple tours and gigs in North America and Europe. Whether in DJing, radio or production – Bianca continues to rep her culture and community.
East Londoner Joe Baker produces atmospheric techno and jungle as Forest Drive West. His techno tracks are stripped-down and hypnotic, while his jungle is heavier and explosive, but all of his work explores complex, inventive rhythms. Much of it has appeared on Peverelist's Livity Sound label, including his 2018 full-length debut, Apparitions.
Joe Baker began making music around the beginning of the 2000s, when he was a teenager attending jungle clubs in Brighton. He made tracks strictly as a hobby, recording whenever he had spare time, for well over a decade. Along with Kenneth Scott, he formed the duo Moniker, and the two began releasing deep tech-house tracks in 2013. However, it wasn't until 2016 that Baker became interested in releasing his music.
Initially, he was going to self-release tracks on a label called Forest Drive West, but the name ended up becoming his recording moniker. He passed off some tracks to Peverelist, and the 12" single "System" appeared on Livity Sound shortly afterward. Rupture London began issuing Baker's jungle tracks, starting with the Jungle Crack EP, which quickly became sought-after. Two more Livity Sound singles appeared in 2017, as well as "Persistence of Memory" on Hidden Hawaii. Several more short-form releases, including an additional jungle EP for Rupture (Set Free), appeared in 2018, leading up to the release of Livity-issued full-length Apparitions.
