    the whole biography
    An Italian born cosmopolitan, Camilla has roamed the globe for over six years, fueled by her father’s legacy in Italy’s progressive rock scene. From Cuneo, her hometown, to Brooklyn,where she now resides, her DJ journey has embraced diverse communities, including the vibrant scenes of Turin, Lisbon, Boston, and particularly New York and Brooklyn. Camilla has performed in various clubs and parties in New York and worldwide, including the likes of Resolute, Public Records, Elsewhere, Sunday Sessions LA and Harbour in Lisbon. Oscillating between classic old-school records and cutting edge sounds, her sets (mostly on vinyl) encompass diverse styles of electronic music including house, techno, electro and breaks. Overall, her journeys tend to be spacey and acid-heavy, leaning into bass-driven, uplifting beats when the time is right. In 2021, Camilla launched Encrypted, a celebrated event series in New York. Encrypted parties cherish intimate locations and a welcoming atmosphere, long DJ sets and international bookings paired with local talent. Artists booked include Giammarco Orsini, Anderson, Cristian Sarde, Unai Trotti and Matthias. This project is pawing the way for an upcoming record label, coming in the near future. Thanks to the unwavering dedication to her craft, Camilla hopes to continue to inspire music enthusiasts worldwide by challenging her ever-evolving creativity, unique energy, and cosmopolitan spirit.

    the whole biography
    Rooted in her native San Francisco upbringing and rich Irish/Iranian heritage, Sinéad brings vintage and contemporary selections spanning 2000’s tech flavours from the West Coast, while embracing a breadth of late 90's UK rhythms. Sinéad is a resident of New York’s public records, a striking relationship that’s forged a series of shows spotlighting female and queer voices in dance music. Europe and Britain have also taken note, with previous tours stopping at Manchester’s The White Hotel, Leeds’ Wire, London’s Fabric, Edinburgh’s Sneaky Petes and Paris’ Djoon amongst others. If it’s mixes, multiple transmissions for NTS Radio and The Lot Radio showcase that feeling best. While evidence of live dancefloor action can be parsed from her set at 2024’s Love International and a mix for Italy’s Polifonic Podcast. 2025 see the continuation of her public records residency, alongside multiple tours of Europe and UK. Undoubtedly, next year will provide a further platform for her to champion the sounds she loves.

  • Francis Harris

    New York City · 22 bookings since Oct 2023

    “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.”

    the whole biography
    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.
