Who they are
“When Carly Zeng DJs, it’s highly unlikely she’ll do the same thing twice.”
their own biography
the whole biography
When Carly Zeng DJs, it’s highly unlikely she’ll do the same thing twice. Chinese-born and now Berlin-based, she has formed quite the community in her chosen city through her party, Dissident, which fosters a nurturing approach to music discovery. Her long love affair with vinyl-focused digging is no secret. And the ripple effects of such veracious collecting can be heard in the way she weaves together the many genres that she likes–be it a trippy tribal or prog track with a weird structure or an off-kilter sound effect in a punchy house tune – she’s forever on the lookout for tracks with that little extra spice. Carly’s entry point into dance music in NYC, led her into smaller parties, DIY spaces and warehouse raves and the community spirit she found there is something she still carries with her today. A known name within Berlin’s queer music scene, she is regularly billed at parties such as Cocktail D’Amore and Body Language. Whether as a DJ, community organizer or dancer on the floor, Carly is staunchly attentive to her role within the dance music ecosystem and how to best curate a warming experience for everyone involved.

their own biography
the whole biography
Hijo Pròdigo is the sound identity of the Philadelphia born/Chicago bred DJ, Justin Ignatius Mitchell. Born in the red lit basements of Chicago’s underground dance scene, Hijo Pródigo summons afro-diasporic sounds across timelines, spanning continents and eclipsing genre. All while expanding on the legacies of regional electronic music pioneered in the cities that have shaped this purview (Baltimore, Chicago, Detroit). Mitchell’s sound developed out of a reverence for hip hop’s futurism (explored during a tenure with Chicago Hip hop act the Banjee Report) and the frenetic maximalism of contemporary club music. During a formative stint working at the legendary Chicago record store Gramaphone Records, their sound underwent a stylistic shift. Taking cue from the shop's extensive house and techno offering, the resulting mosaic of influences is an energetic blend of the past, present, and future. Hijo Pròdigo is currently working on new ways of existing and has found a platform to access their potential in the Chicago born FUTUREHOOD indie music label and artist collective.Their RA profile lists Get Up Recordings.often with Stacy Kidd, none of them here that night
