the whole biography
DJing since 2011, New York native John Raffaele has been bringing life to dancefloors in the US and abroad on countless occasions. His tireless work and commitment to nightlife and music culture with his projects Subsurface (party) & Impressions Philly (record store) could be described as an unquenchable thirst for more. After relocating to Philadelphia in 2016, John wasted no time working dancefloors across the city for underground local crews. After 2 years in the Philadelphia circuit, John teamed up with his partner and one of his closest friends, Keen in December 2017 to launch the now accredited warehouse party series- Subsurface, to channel their vision into their own experience to share with others in Philadelphia. Since then they have wasted no time reshaping the mold of underground parties in Philadelphia hosting artists such as Anthony Parasole, Omar S, John Dimas, Steve O’Sullivan, and more recently Hamish & Toby, Brawther, Analog Soul, Christian AB and more with no signs of slowing down. In August of 2020, during the pandemic John had been digging for records at such a frequent rate, and being out of gigs with little income- he spawned Impressions Philadelphia, an online/ pop-up record store, filling a void for dance music record shopping in Philly. Since then, the shop has made a mark on local DJ’s and collectors in the city. As a producer, John has been working behind the scenes tirelessly at developing his sound. After many months/years at work, John will be part of the next forthcoming release on Tbilisi based label- Small Moves alongside collaborators Sweater and Bobby Banks under their alias “Post Play”. Expect that to drop fall 2021.Recently at Mansions, Moondog Hifi, Signal · often with Keen, Very J, Juana, none of them here that night

the whole biography
Returning to electronic music after a decade long break, Daniel Dutts is wasting no time in establishing himself as a key figure within NYC’s underground scene. Co-owner of Archivio Records, a Brooklyn-based concept record store, label and event brand, and label head of Risk/Reward, Dutts is re-establishing his reputation as a DJ of the highest calibre with his air tight mixing and endless selection of rare vinyl gems. As a member of Vicious Circle, Dutts had success in the 00s as a DJ and Producer, touring the world extensively and releasing on many leading labels. A residency at Layo & Mr C’s legendary The End club, plus regular appearances at Fabric and Ministry of Sound remain career highlights. These days Daniel is in hot demand at NYC’s best underground parties, regularly rocking the floor at H0L0, Signal, Apollo Studio, Public Records and more. London’s calling too, with residencies for renowned brands Cerca Trova and Crèche leading to recent appearances at Studio 9294, Starlane Pizza, LDN East and Nighttales. Known for creating epic vinyl-focused journeys covering the many shades of electronic music and built upon the sounds of the 90s UK underground scene that he immersed himself in as a teenager, Dutts has people talking on both sides of the Atlantic and beyond!Recently at MAD Radio NYC, Outer Heaven, H0L0 · often with Pablo Romero, Luciio, CAMILLA, none of them here that night
