  the whole biography

  Derek Russo is a Brooklyn, NY based deejay, producer, promoter & educator. Russo has come to possess a unique sound culled from years of digging and DJing a variety of gigs. Bred in Washington, D.C. he spent 14 years in Colorado and was an integral component of the small but rock solid underground scene there. He’s now based in thriving Brooklyn, NY. His DJ sets can run across the board, and is adept at delivering high energy sets of Boogie, Funk, Balearic and Disco, next to deeper narratives combining House & Techno with leftfield excursions into more complex rhythms that blur those lines, finding the unique thread amongst it all, and always combining older gems with newer music. In 2020 he founded his label, Broad Channel, as an outlet to release his productions and push the sound further. Additional releases since 2019 have come out on Make Mistakes and Paul Fleetwood’s Perimeter Junk label. There’s also his Luvfreak alias for re-edits and sample heavy tracks. After recently wrapping a 5 year long, monthly radio show on Internet Public Radio (internetpublicradio.live) called “Morning Fever”, he started a new monthly show at The Face Radio in Brooklyn in August 2022 called "Xoloft", also the name of the party he throws. In 2021 he expanded into an educator role, as a course instructor for Garnish Music Production School in downtown Brooklyn, and currently teaching vinyl DJ classes at Superior Elevation in Brooklyn. Russo is currently focused on Xoloft the party and radio show, adding new producers to the Broad Channel roster, releasing more music and DJing in 2023.

  the whole biography

  DJ, producer, music supervisor, chef, and TV host – Matt FX is the definitive multihyphenate. Referred to as a “musical polymath” by Forbes and a “NYC nightlife institution” by VICE, he first shot to fame as the mind behind the soundtrack of the hit Comedy Central TV show BROAD CITY, as well as for his appearances on VICE News Tonight and the Food Network. No lightweight in the kitchen either, Matt co-founded "underground fried chicken sandwich racket" DUBPLATE NYC, dubbed the 'best fried chicken sandwich of all time' by Busboy.co As a DJ, Matt approaches each and every set with an irreverence that the New York Times calls “interesting social commentary on multiple levels” and has shared lineups with artists as varied as Soul Clap and Disclosure to Snoop Dogg and Demi Lovato. His latest projects include releases with Kitsune Musique, Wolf + Lamb, and Sorry Records, with plenty more slated for release over the next year.
