their own biography
the whole biography
Derek Russo is a Brooklyn, NY based deejay, producer, promoter & educator. Russo has come to possess a unique sound culled from years of digging and DJing a variety of gigs. Bred in Washington, D.C. he spent 14 years in Colorado and was an integral component of the small but rock solid underground scene there. He’s now based in thriving Brooklyn, NY. His DJ sets can run across the board, and is adept at delivering high energy sets of Boogie, Funk, Balearic and Disco, next to deeper narratives combining House & Techno with leftfield excursions into more complex rhythms that blur those lines, finding the unique thread amongst it all, and always combining older gems with newer music. In 2020 he founded his label, Broad Channel, as an outlet to release his productions and push the sound further. Additional releases since 2019 have come out on Make Mistakes and Paul Fleetwood’s Perimeter Junk label. There’s also his Luvfreak alias for re-edits and sample heavy tracks. After recently wrapping a 5 year long, monthly radio show on Internet Public Radio (internetpublicradio.live) called “Morning Fever”, he started a new monthly show at The Face Radio in Brooklyn in August 2022 called "Xoloft", also the name of the party he throws. In 2021 he expanded into an educator role, as a course instructor for Garnish Music Production School in downtown Brooklyn, and currently teaching vinyl DJ classes at Superior Elevation in Brooklyn. Russo is currently focused on Xoloft the party and radio show, adding new producers to the Broad Channel roster, releasing more music and DJing in 2023.Their RA profile lists Make Mistakes and Perimeter Junk.Recently at Xanadu, Moondog Hifi, Jupiter Disco · often with Miss Alicia, DJ Houseplants, BOSSdaddy, none of them here that night
