Physical Therapy is Daniel Fisher, the Queens-based New Jersey-born producer, DJ, and head of the Allergy Season label. Fisher is known for a constantly shifting and abstracted take on club music, from bongo-infused techno to breakbeat science.
Over the last 15 years, Fisher has gained a cult following for his dynamic DJ sets and playful productions. From unassuming beginnings in New York City dive bars, Fisher carved a path through the Brooklyn warehouse scene before moving to Berlin in 2013 and starting his own label, Allergy Season. In Germany, Fisher absorbed the sounds of the scene and developed his own, singular interpretation of dance music — closer to the jocular energy of the 90s than the heads-down thumpers Berlin is known for. Regular slots at Berghain and Panorama Bar soon followed. Meanwhile Fisher kept a presence on the New York scene with Allergy Season parties at warehouses and venues like Bossa Nova Civic Club. In 2018, after settling back in New York he began his residency at Nowadays, the club run by Eamon Harkin and Justin Carter of Mister Saturday Night, where he plays genre-spanning sets of up to 9 hours.
Since his first 12″ on the now-defunct Hippos in Tanks, Fisher has put out over 35 releases on a dozen labels and under several aliases including Car Culture, Kirk the Flirt, DJ Overnite, and Fatherhood- his duo with fellow NYC DJ Michael Magnan. Though stylistically diverse, his tracks are bound by both a sense of humor and their dance floor readiness

Hyeonje is known for their dynamic, playful, and genre-defying DJ sets, blending classic house, techno, electro, and club sounds with left-field breakbeats, pop, and world music. Having been raised on the local underground scenes of Los Angeles, the Bay Area, Vancouver, Portland, and of course, Seattle, Hyeonje's DJing is rooted in a queer, West Coast sensibility. They have DJ'd at iconic venues in the Pacific Northwest such as Kremwerk, Pony, Monkey Loft, and Holocene, as well as at very special DIY raves and house parties in and outside of the Puget Sound area.
Their ongoing projects include the online mix series Diasporic Corean Mixtapes, which features Korean DJs from the global diaspora, as well as the monthly UKG party GET U OFF, at Timbre Room, where they are a resident DJ. Hyeonje's studio mixes include contributions to Noods Radio, Houseparty SEA, Bottom Forty, and Missed Connections, which was featured in Resident Advisor's Best Mixes of Sept. 2022.
