Hip Hop, Classic Rock, Funk, and Reggae—all of which have contributed to his own flare of music creativity, have earned his achievement of playing at some of the top-tier festivals and venues such as Coachella, EDC, Beyond Wonderland, Lightning In a Bottle, Ocaso Festival (Costa Rica), Exchange LA, Sound Night Club, as well as holding down an 18-year old residency with the legendary Focus OC. Collaboration-wise, Nonfiction has also worked side-by-side with some of the most unforgettable names in the game including Green Velvet, DJ Sneak, Doc Martin, Honey Dijon, Gene Farris, Cajmere, and Mark Farina.

Now, after charting#21 on Beatport’s Top 100 in the Tech House category with his track, “What You Want“, Nonfiction has been on the move again with his recent track “Hands on His Own” which released on RVDIOVCTIVE ‘s fourth V/A album RVDIOVCTIVE VOL. 4. This fourth compilation series concluded 2022 off to a great end by featuring 14 new and exclusive tracks from label regulars and newcomers alike. As one of the regulars, Nonfiction graces the album with track #6 “Hands on His Own” which incorporates raw house cuts and bouncing groovy bass lines that will take you back to the sounds of classic house and techno from Chicago and Detroit.

Carrying the Spirit of House and Detroit With Angelala

/in /by

The New-York based American House and Techno singer-songwriter Angelala found her calling through the dance and techno music scene in Detroit, her home. After being in the electro-pop duo HRT BRK then A&B for about a year, and experiencing the Winter Music Conference in Miami on a spring break trip, she eventually couldn’t resist her passion for creating house music as a soloist. Of course, regular visits to Chicago (the birthplace of house music) would also solidify her drive toward the house scene, and eventually play a role in her making the move to NYC. It was then in NYC Angelala had the revelation of not just wanting to be a spectator of house music but instead embodying it as a creative musician.

Since then, Angelala has gone on to be a part of momentous projects like her first release with Grammy-nominated House Music innovator Todd Terry, and releasing on labels like Inhouse, Terminator, Let There Be House, Grind City, S&S, Pocket Jacks, Break It Down Music, Fidget Music, King Street Sounds, Autektone and Broken Records. Performance-wise, she’s also showcased at legendary NYC venues such as Bowery Electric, Highland Ballroom, Pyramid Club, Pianos, Electric Room, The Rosemont, Macri Park, and many more. Now, Angelala releases on Grammy award-winning Steve “Silk” Hurley‘s label S&S Records once again alongside Tech Us Out and also releases again on King Street Sounds alongside Col Lawton for a 2023 project.
