“With 20 years of DJing at the world's top clubs and almost a hundred releases under different monikers to his credit, one might think that Francis Harris had reached the pinnacle of his career, or at least firmly established his niche; but 2012 marked a pivotal year for the Brooklyn-based producer in which his true potential as a composer, producer and label executive was revealed.”

With 20 years of DJing at the world's top clubs and almost a hundred releases under different monikers to his credit, one might think that Francis Harris had reached the pinnacle of his career, or at least firmly established his niche; but 2012 marked a pivotal year for the Brooklyn-based producer in which his true potential as a composer, producer and label executive was revealed. In seeking a more subtle and emotional sound, Harris departed from his tried and true methods as a solo studio engineer, forging creative collaborations that rekindled his long dormant interest in the craft of songwriting, live instrumentation and performance. The result were the two albums Leland (2012) and Minutes Of Sleep (2014) laced with piano, guitar, cello, trumpet and vocals by Danish singer Gry Baggien, delivered on Scissor and Thread, a new label Harris formed as a platform for this highly personal expression. With newfound purpose, Harris returned to the club music arena with an entirely new approach to making music. Focused on the development of new artists for the Scissor and Thread collective, Harris has been collaborating in the studio and behind the decks with label partner Anthony Collins as Frank & Tony. Together the pair have released an array of well received EPs and the albums You Go Girl (2014) and Ethos (2024) showcasing pitched down melodic house tunes. His third solo-studio album Trivial Occupations released in 2018 followed by his newest long player Thresholds in 2022.Their RA profile lists hfn, Scissor & Thread, hafendisko and Modelmaker.Last at H0L0 in Oct · often with Tal, Dasha Rush, Decoder, none of them here that night

Celebrated for traveling the world to find new musical gems, from the Middle East, Europe, Tokyo, and Bangkok, Kristine Barilli has spent the last 20 years traversing the far reaching corners of the globe in pursuit of the world’s most elusive and undiscovered musical gems. She is a born and bred New Yorker with a masterful ability to translate her listening habits into rhapsodic DJ sets. As sharp as the city she hails from, Barilli’s punk ethos blends seamlessly with her eclectic style, often incorporating rare and esoteric tracks into her performances. Her sound, which she describes as “sleazy and street-based,” is an ode to her independent conviction, creating a symbiotic relationship between her vast knowledge and ever-expanding audience. Barilli has built a reputation for her unique and eclectic sound, sharing stages with prominent artists like DJ Harvey, 2ManyDJs, and James Murphy. She’s a fixture in New York’s music scene, regularly playing at venues such as Good Room, Public Records, and Knockdown Center. She also hosts “Totally Corrupt,” a monthly radio show on The Lot Radio and works as the lead music supervisor for ROVR and New York’s Raina. She has been featured in numerous books such as Dust and Grooves and VINYL NYC for her extensive and diverse record collection and has served as Music Director/Curator at Public Records as well as Fotografiska Museum + Currently Peoples NY.Recently at The Lot Radio, Good Room, public records · often with Seedy J, Arianna Danae, Lauren Murada, none of them here that night
