    the whole biography
    American DJ and producer Kim Anh has been a staple of the queer dance music underground for two decades. She has gone on to make an indelible impact on the nightlife scenes she's been a part of in Los Angeles and New York, where she currently splits her time between NYC and the Hudson Valley. The founder of groundbreaking queer parties like Booby Trap! and Tendencies, Kim Anh helped underline the queer and POC history of dance music, bringing it back to its roots. Her production and songwriting blends classic house and electronic with a contemporary sensibility, with catchy hooks and edgy, sensual lyrics, described by DJ Mag as "lucid and absorbing, and conveying an assertion and power." She’s been a top 10 Beatport artist with features in Mix Mag (UK & Asia), DJ Mag, Resident Advisor and LA Weekly to name a few. More recently, Kim Anh started her own Can U Not Talk Records label, and has also been featured on labels like Live At Robert Johnson, Afro Acid and Nervous Records. She's collaborated with artists from across the electronic music spectrum such as Roy Davis. Jr, Massimiliano Pagliara, Peaches and Cerrone.

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Nita is a noted member of the legendary House of Aviance. She started DJing around the turn of the millennium and was a resident at the infamous Mr. Black and Westgay, both touchstones for queer artistry and culture in downtown nightlife of the early 2000's. Will has deep roots in NYC club culture, having worked at The Loft and collaborated closely with David Mancuso, holding residencies at many of the downtown New York clubs over the years including The Limelight, Life and Vandam. After dividing his time between NYC and Paris, working on music with fashion houses such as Issey Miyake, Vivienne Westwood and Yves Saint Laurent, Will returned to DJing dance floors when he co-created SPANK with partners Sean B & Jason Roe. What started as a basement dance party evolved into a roving art-based warehouse party along with a namesake zine. SPANK began to work closely with Horse Meat Disco and the close relationship with that crew has extended in various forms through the years into the present. Currently, Nita and Will perform globally as both individual DJs and, more often, as a duo --they are most recognized for epic extended B2B sets and their wildly successful monthly queer party (also known as The Carry Nation) at Brooklyn's Good Room. Their range is wide and exciting, and in the New York tradition they effortlessly flow through genres and time periods while keeping a modern edge. Since the inception of The Carry Nation, the duo has toured the world extensively including Glastonbury’s Block 9 and Berlin’s Berghain/Panorama Bar among many others. They also have a residency at Ladyfag's flagship monthly Battle Hymn. As producers, their credits include releases and remixes on Get Up Recordings, Classic Music Company, TRIBAL, Nervous, TRAX, Batty Bass, TWIRL, W&O Street Tracks and more. Their latest venture is Major Records, an imprint they co-founded with Justin Cudmore to showcase their Majorettes collaboration with releases that are setting dancefloors alight with a fresh but classic house vibe that stays rooted in the excitement of New York’s history and underground.

    the whole biography
    Rooted in the golden lineage of NYC’s queer nightlife, Tom Peters carries forward the legacy of legends. Mentored by Kevin McHugh, the visionary behind Danny Tenaglia, Maxi Records, and Club Vinyl, Tom’s sound is steeped in the hypnotic pulse of tribal house and groovy techno. As a resident DJ for Susanne Bartsch’s ON TOP at The Standard’s legendary LeBain, he spins under the roof of a nightlife icon who gave RuPaul her first stage and founded the iconic Love Ball. Blending the raw energy of Berlin’s underground with the flamboyant glamour of NYC, Tom crafts dancefloors that are both liberating and technically refined. His sets are more than music, they're lineage, legacy, and liberation. Founder of DESSERT...is serving and BERLINCIAGAY, Tom Peters continues to make waves in the electronic music world. Known for fusing diva vocals, Latin percussion, and tribal rhythms into his sets and productions, his sound reflects the influence of McHugh, who managed him for four years and left a lasting mark on his artistic path. With standout performances at Berghain for SNAX, Basement NYC, the Gegen x Pornceptual NYE marathon at RSO Berlin, and a long-running residency with Susanne Bartsch at LeBain, as well as a collaboration with Honey Dijon, Tom has cemented his reputation as a powerhouse in the queer club-focused house and groovy techno world.
