the whole biography
Texas-born and Brooklyn-based, Henry Chow has spent nearly three decades embedded in the underground, moving dance floors with raw, mood-driven techno and house. A lifelong crate digger, his sound leans heavy on tension, groove, and restraint—built for dark rooms and long nights. As a DJ, Chow’s reputation has carried him to international stages and key venues across the U.S., including regular appearances at The Great Beyond (US). In Houston, Chow co-founded Crossroads, then one of Texas’ longest-running dance parties. The series became a proving ground for uncompromising international and regional artists alongside deeply rooted local talent, helping shape a sustainable, late-night culture. After arriving in Brooklyn in 2017, Chow re-established Crossroads with a series of events at the now defunct TBA Brooklyn. Years later Chow teamed up with Dianna Loevner, Samuel FIsh, and Dyllon Young to help create the underground outfit Mizz Softee. In the studio, Chow first cut his teeth in the early 2000s, releasing an EP on Marco Carola's seminal techno imprint, Zenit. Followed by original and remixes on labels such as Genetic Recordings, Thoughtless Music, Harmonious Discord and Abiotic. Dug from the past and locked into the present, Henry Chow delivers music that’s physical and meant to be felt.Tech House on 7, Techno on 8, Deep House on 5 and Downtempo on 3. styles on their catalogued releasesReleased on Thoughtless Music (2), Harmonious Discord (1) and Plain Sound Recordings (1); their RA profile also lists Zenit. labels on their catalogued releases and on their RA profileRecently at Mansions, Bossa Nova Civic Club, Softee Paradise · often with Samuel Fish, Dustin Zahn, Truncate, none of them here that night

Rissa Garcia is a celebrated New York house DJ, producer, and NightChild Records label boss, widely regarded as a driving force within NYC's underground dance music scene. Influenced by her Staten Island upbringing and the legendary atmosphere of clubs like Vinyl, where Danny Tenaglia's sets captivated her, Rissa’s career has been shaped by a deep connection to House Music. That moment of discovery remains her "Paradise Garage" spark, fueling her passion for crafting immersive experiences on dance floors across the city and beyond. Over nearly two decades, Rissa has earned her place among the greats, sharing decks with icons such as Danny Tenaglia, Tony Humphries, Danny Krivit, Kenny Dope, and TODD TERRY, among others. Praised for her ability to seamlessly blend house, funk, soul, classics, and beyond, her sets reflect a nuanced mastery designed to move bodies and unite spirits. As the founder of "Dancing Room Only," Rissa champions authentic club culture, crafting spaces where the music takes center stage and the crowd reconnects. Her ethos is simple yet powerful: put the phones down, feel the beat, and dance together. Her work with NightChild Records, relaunched in 2018, showcases her commitment to advancing house music’s artistry. With a catalog approaching 100 releases—including collaborations with legends like Todd Terry—her label has become a hub for soulful, high-quality productions. Her releases also appear on distinguished labels like Plastik People Recordings and Rhythm & Culture. Rissa’s talent has drawn accolades from peers and legends alike— King Britt called her "unreal," Tony Humphries hailed her as "an immense talent," and Danny Tenaglia praised her selections and mixing as "wonderful." A DJ, producer, event curator, and label head, Rissa Garcia is not just a standout artist; she’s an untapped gem whose dedication to NYC’s house music heritage continues to resonate globally.Deep House on 10, House on 9, Tech House on 3 and Nu-Disco on 1. styles on their catalogued releasesReleased on NightChild Records (2), Bambossa Records (1) and LW Recordings (1); their RA profile also lists King Street Sounds, Seta Label, Fresh Meat Records, InHouse Records and 4 more. labels on their catalogued releases and on their RA profileRecently at Good Room, Sugar Hill Disco, H0L0 · often with James Anthony, Orson, NIGELTHREETIMES, none of them here that night
“Dee Diggs is a DJ, music producer, and creative multi-hyphenate based in Brooklyn, NY.”
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 BASEMENT, 100 Sutton Studios, H0L0 · often with Kilopatrah Jones, Nita Aviance, Ron Like Hell, none of them here that night
