Refraction x Standard Time x Cold Pod presents DJ Python, Patrick Holland, Jaime Sin and MILCH!
DJ Python is the best-known alias of the Queens, NY-based DJ and musician Brian Piñeyro. A pillar of the Brooklyn/Queens-based scene via a long-running residency at Nowadays and affiliation with Anthony Naples and Jenny Slattery's Incienso imprint, in recent years, Piñeyro has exploded into record stores, mixes and clubs around the world thanks to his innovative combination of deep house dynamics and latin rhythms. His last album, 2020's Mas Amable, was a downtempo epic garnering album of the year honors from Resident Advisor and Boomkat, and he's been on a tear since, dropping EPs like Club Sentimientos Vol. 2, a well-loved collab with Domino artist Ela Minus, a split with Nick León (with whom he hosts a Miami residency, suero) and records and mixes via his Perreo supergroup with Kelman Duran and Florentino, Sangre Nueva. In 2023, Python teamed up with ambient pop mainstay Ana Roxanne as Natural Wonder Beauty Concept for an album of moody, IDM-influenced pop songs and unusual instrumentals. That album, released by Mexican Summer, was again a mainstay on end-of-the-year list and led to live tours throughout Europe, the UK and North America.
In 2024, Python made his Essential Mix debut for BBC Radio 1 which included yet-to-be-released tracks and edits of music by the likes of Air, Alex G, Nina Simone, and Autechre. The mix picked up 'Best Of' accolades with Resident Advisor and Mixmag who declared "xxxx." A summer of festival live shows followed including a takeover of Block9's epic IICON stage at 2024 edition of Glastonbury Festival, performing a highlight set to a rapturous response. The year rounded off with several 'Best of 2024' tags including "Angel" at #54 in Pitchfork. i was put on this earth is Python's first release of 2025 and the ambitious EP sets the tone for the year ahead.
Patrick Holland (fka Project Pablo), navigates the world of music with a quiet intensity. Hailing from Canada, his efforts have evolved from perpetual motion on the road to meticulous creation at home in Montreal. His influence is felt through the resonant waves of I Want to Believe and Beaubien Dream – records that crystallized a moment in 2010s dance music. Holland's curatorial instincts shine through his labels – ASL Singles Club and SOBO – while his role as TOPS' live bassist in 2021/2022 and one half of producer outfit Jump Source hint at his range. Holland’s path is a series of nuanced shifts and deep dives, always dissecting what lies beneath the surface.
Toronto faves Jaime Sin and MILCH will be opening the night.
