their own biography
the whole biography
Dee Diggs is a DJ, music producer, and creative multi-hyphenate based in Brooklyn, NY. She is unapologetically black, queer, and a lifelong student of the tenets of House Music. Every single set by this connoisseur feels like a celebration – a celebration of club culture, of queerness, of community, of house and techno, and of house and techno's Black and Queer American innovators. Her energetic, yet deep approach to DJing has seen this Boston to Brooklyn transplant first garnering attention in the queer party scene of NYC and now lighting up dancefloors all over the world with regular European and international tours. Her aim has always been to contribute & sustain more spaces where marginalized groups are valued and thanked by name for their contributions to humanity. Thank the ORIGINAL Black innovators of House & Techno! Thank you, Disco and Ballroom Queens & Queers and Club Kids alike for the theatrics & fanfare of nightlife as we know it! There are homages to these origins alluded to in all things 'Dee Diggs', from the aesthetics to the sharing of the referential and varied tracks that fill her most noteworthy mixes, to her own original music! She’s known for releasing standout mixes for the likes of Daisychain, Honcho, and Dekmantel over the past couple of years. Her musical adventures spanning all possible genres, the common denominator here is Dee Diggs’ unrivaled taste. Her sound cuts an arch through dance music’s past and present to convey an interesting melding of Dee’s signature sounds: lyrical storied tracks, sensual club edits, soulful realness, sneaky grooves, passionate thumpers, and nostalgic endings. Her eponymous party, House of Diggs debuted in February 2020 to stir and settle the hearts of all the lovers of house, funk, soul, disco, and R&B in Brooklyn, before the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent club closings curtailed that momentum for 1.5 years. However, 2021, found her making strides again when she resumed curating House of Diggs as a semi-regular event series at Jupiter Disco, a rotary-focused intimate dance floor in Bushwick before her touring DJ schedule ramped up intensely. She currently holds and curates a seasonal DJ residency at a hi-fi nightclub in Gowanus, BK named Public Records. House of Diggs makes an appearance yearly around PRIDE to take over all 3 rooms of Public Records with Queer Imagination and Sonic Pleasure! Diggs' steady rise continues as she steps in to headline many club and festival lineups in 2023 and beyond. The east coast darling bares her soul on these decks — when you hear her, you feel her, and there is no mistaking the beauty and grit of this sound and this feeling!House on 6, Deep House on 4, Techno on 1 and Broken Beat on 1. styles on their catalogued releasesReleased on toucan sounds (2), Dekmantel (1) and Find Your Own (1). labels on their catalogued releasesRecently at public records, Jolene Sound Room Brooklyn · often with Nita Aviance, Ron Like Hell, Michael Cignarale, none of them here that night

their own biography
the whole biography
LUNÁTICA is a tribute project to the expression of the primal self, the sensual and defiant mind. Created by Luna Cattleya Calderon Asero, a Colombian-Chinese-American artist based in Providence, RI, LUNÁTICA embodies a unique sound and energy. Formerly known as Lunamariposa, she brings DJ sets and music productions that embrace the soul-stirring power of percussion, hydrating drum patterns, and rhythms that will make you find the groove in your heart. This artist has performed in Bogotá, Colombia; Antigua, Guatemala; New York City; the DMV area; Philadelphia; and Miami. Her primary terrain includes East Coast venues such as The MFA & ICA in Boston, Red Door, Mezzo, and Dancing Cats in Providence, as well as Elsewhere, Jupiter Disco, and Nowadays in NYC—her ambitions are set on expanding further. Even before discovering her passion for DJing and music production, Cattleya Asero was a dedicated supporter and an essential presence on the underground dancefloors of Boston, having moved there from Miami in 2015. By 2019, she had established herself as a regular DJ, bringing a sound that is irresistibly danceable, politically provocative, and unafraid to take risks, infusing her art with a strong and distinctive voice. A former contributor to Boston’s queer and DIY community, Cattleya was affiliated with Houseboi, Demo Radio, and Sakias— a collective of students that emerged from Harvard University. In addition to DJing, she played an active role behind the scenes. Now, after shortly living in nyc , she works alongside rising star and Brown University professor Madison Moor through Providence’s newest queer party, MISS KITTY, which centers People of Color. Asero also contributes to the music scene in PVD through her relationship with Symposium Records, founded by Scott MX and Jacob Hershel. Her reach extends even further through her involvement with the global collective GHETTO WITCHEZ, where she has tapped into music journalism, and writing music reviewsRecently at Paragon, Jupiter Disco · often with ROCCO (FIGA), Via App, DEBONAIR, none of them here that night
“Born and raised in Queens, a city dweller and a club kid, Kilopatrah has an innate and superlative gift for transferring energy from the booth to the dance floor—through exciting house, techno, and jungle, and moments that both harken to Sound Factory–era glory days and bring you to sweaty BPMs of the future.”

the whole biography
Born and raised in Queens, a city dweller and a club kid, Kilopatrah has an innate and superlative gift for transferring energy from the booth to the dance floor—through exciting house, techno, and jungle, and moments that both harken to Sound Factory–era glory days and bring you to sweaty BPMs of the future. Their sets are palpably personal: The dance floor has always been a powerful platform for expression for Kilo, once as a freeing and connecting space for a quiet house dancer and now as one for moving others like them. When Kilo gets going, you’ll lose sense of the kick drum versus the beat of your own body against the floor. That’s a gift from them to you, and your percussion is a gift back to them. Kilo brings their energetic sass to a monthly Lot Radio residency and to parties with impressive lineups, playing alongside Todd Terry home in New York, at the legendary Movement weekend Club Toilet in Detroit, and for Boiler Room. Their mixes, for series such as Coloring Lessons, Honcho, and Juanita’s, and for spots on Rinse and Refuge, also capture the club at its most euphoric. You’ll step a little harder with Kilopatrah Jones. Words by Sacha Madadianoften with Mike Servito, Annie Lew, Makadsi, none of them here that night
