    their own biography

    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.

    “Best known as the lead singer of Skunk Anansie, Skin is one of Britain’s leading and acclaimed rock singers & songwriters.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Best known as the lead singer of Skunk Anansie, Skin is one of Britain’s leading and acclaimed rock singers & songwriters. Born and brought up in Brixton, South London, she rejected the safe haven of soul/R&B session singing by literally diving headlong into hardcore rock. Since she emerged in the mid ‘90s with Skunk Anansie, Skin has been a groundbreaking presence. Seeing a lot of similarities between dance music & rock music , she convinced the band to do remixes with DJs at a time when this wasn’t commonplace. This led to their hit song ‘Weep’ being remixed by the legendary Junior Vasquez with heavy rotation on the infamous Twilo dancefloor. Her love of the dancefloor began at early acid raves in the countryside to weekends taking in the London underground at TRADE, Heaven & DTPM. After spending years spinning at house parties from her massive collection of vinyl, in 2007 she was sold an old Pioneer Mixer by her friend and Legendary Dj Damien Lazarus and her jump to digital and her new obsession took hold. Flash forward years later & Skin has found her passion with sexy techno grooves that ooze warmth and fat bottom bass. “There is no fast road to being a good Dj, it literally takes years of non-stop work, it takes years of failure to understand how to get it right, it’s the same with production, luckily I already had a few skills in that area, mainly good ears but still you never really know until you test them on the dancefloor...when you feel that room shake THAT’S when you know you got it right!” She has also released Techno music under the pseudonym ‘ Juvenal’ on Nicole Moudaber’s Mood Records (2016) along with a 5 track collaboration with Nicole called #Breed that included a collab with Zebra Katz, original Techno Tracks with Nicole, and a Remix album #BREEDRMXS with remixes by Jamie Jones, Carl Craig, Pan Pot, Paco Osuna, Scuba & more. She has played at iconic clubs all over the world from Fabric Nightclub in London, Sound in LA, Space in Ibiza, Plastic & Magazzini Generalli in Milan, Output & Avant Gardner in NY, along with sets at festivals from Coachella to Kappa Future Festival in Torino, LadyLand Festival in Brooklyn, & Love Festival in London. After taking some time off to tour with Skunk Anansie & to write her chart topping memoir “It Takes Blood & Guts” she’s been working on a new solo electronic album & continuing with her seasonal weekly radio show on Abolut Radio. Skin has recently relocated to Brooklyn & is looking forward to bringing her upbeat yet dark techno vibes to sweaty dancefloors on this side of the pond!

    “Nita is a noted member of the legendary House of Aviance.”

    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.
