    their own biography

    the whole biography
    While the world’s online, Chloé Caillet’s in the club. Her music and kaleidoscopic DJ sets recall  utopic rave histories of the past: dance factories, the Balearic bliss of the ‘90s; a time when  smartphones didn’t mediate the clubbing experience. Caillet’s music encourages your full  presence, your phone deep in your pocket. Within just a few years Caillet, a DJ, producer, multi‑instrumentalist, has become one of  dance’s most vitalizing forces. In 2024 alone she logged tens of thousands of miles playing sets  and curating global communities with SMIILE, her queer‑centered club night. From playing  B2Bs with Jamie xx to closing the terrace at Ibiza’s Circoloco with Kylie Minogue in attendance,  Chloé Caillet has become your favorite pop star’s DJ, your favorite DJ’s DJ, soon to be your  favorite, too. A musician first, Caillet brings her near‑perfect pitch to the decks. She mixes in key, thinks in  textures and tonalities—fifths, thirds—and instinctively knows the sounds that will mesh  together best. Always at least three steps ahead of the track, she creates fine musical details  within her sets, setting up perfect harmonies on the fly. Her layering is subtle, but if you lean  closer you her years of classical study; her background in improvisational jazz. Initially drawn to rock music, she played keys and bass in a small psychedelic outfit named The  Clockwork as a teenager in Paris. Throughout her adolescence she performed in an array of  blues, garage and alternative rock bands across Paris and London before ending up in the  dance music space during Ed Banger’s most prolific era. By the time she moved to New York  City in her early twenties, LCD Soundsystem and DFA Records had overtaken the scene with  their dance‑rock revival, inspiring Caillet to carry over her prog credentials into her first DJ sets.  Initially drawn to production through her background in A&R, she quickly became a sensation  in the NYC dance music scene, playing and creating rock‑embellished electo reminiscent of  Greg Wilson’s early mixtapes, and later inspiring Beck to personally commission her for a remix  of his track “Chemical” in 2021. As her star began to rise further, Caillet gradually moved away  from her proggy roots and towards groove‑heavy house. “But I’ve definitely been feeling a pull  back to my roots lately,” says Caillet.

    “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!

    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.
