DJ Grace Sands  LDFMOCT21

I invited to Artwork to come play some records on my show on Soho Radio New York tonight to pay homage to a weird phenomenon from three decades ago. Record stores in Croydon in the early-mid 1990’s. Croydon, a slightly less impressive cosmopolitan metropolis than the one we are DJing in now (in truth it was a dreary suburban shithole) bizarrely had some world class record shops. Certainly, a match for Black Market in Soho (sorry Goldie). I brought much of my early US House & Garage from Swag Records (with my pocket money), almost all of which have stood the test of time. Artwork worked in Big Apple Records also in Croydon at the very same time. It’s funny to be broadcasting those Croydon RIPS from Manhattan exactly 30 years later with Arthur (who I thought was scary and unapproachable at the time). It’s a funny old game!

Horse Meat Disco - 30 July 2023

Toribio’s got something for your soul—and dat ass. The charming DJ, producer, and multi-instrumental music maker affectionately known as “Papi” in the scene brings people together for his BDA parties where the motto is "Bring Dat Ass, and your feet will follow.” 

A force of nightlife, Toribio has shared the decks with the likes of Danny Krivit, DJ Seinfeld, Francois K, Eli Escobar, Andrés, and Ash Lauryn to name a few. Toribio’s spirit shines bright behind the decks, but he also displays his musical prowess as leader of his rotating collective of musicians, Conclave, whose brilliant self-titled LP released on Love Injection Records to critical acclaim. Conclave is a reminder of the powerful omnipresence of Afro and Latino sounds and instruments, which layers effortlessly with Toribio’s easy, sweeping tenor, and courses to an electrically charged conclusion. Tracks from Conclave have been remixed by renown producers such as Louie Vega, Photay, and musclecars

Toribio regularly plays in various clubs across New York, including Nowadays, Elsewhere, Good Room, Knockdown Center, Bossa Nova Civic Club, and Le Bain and holds down a monthly show at the Lot Radio. He is frequently invited to play in cities like Mexico City and Miami and his reach continues to expand worldwide. Stay tuned for more releases from his own label, BDA Records.

Toribio - There Is No Planet Earth Late Night Mix

The fourth release from Chrissy (The Nite Owl Diner / Classic / Freerange) in his new Cool
Ranch series, this 12” features more jacking disco-house bangers with a '90s Chicago feel.
“Let's Go Dancing” is a catchy filtered affair, which Shaun J. Wright & Alinka (Classic /
Twirl / Crosstown Rebels / Jackathon Jams) follow up with a driving, bass-heavy remix. I
Can Feel It is a pulsing low end stomper built around a driving disco hook, and Detroit-
Chicago edit master Peter Croce (Rocksteady Records / Razor N Tape) brings a smoother
remix with a deep late nite vibe. Hand-stamped, limited edition, vinyl-only release.

Cool Ranch Vol. 4

I Can Feel It

When Eats Everything asked me to make him a mix for his Quarantime series it coincided with the weekend that would have been my annual trip to New York City. Every year I play for my house music allies, The Carry Nation who run the the hottest party in NYC. My pilgrimage always orbits around Soul Summit sound system in Fort Green Park, Brooklyn….the home of real house music. It breaks my heart to miss both these essential cultural institutions in the city that gave birth to the sound I have devoted my life to. So to counteract this endless holding pattern of doom we call 2020, I am very happy to present my Quarantime mix, made in honour of the city I love the most. A bunch of vintage cuts on this and loads of new stuff too, also featuring, "Over Back Then" from my forthcoming EP…..Enjoy!

Chrissy is a genre-bending DJ/producer with releases on Hooversound Recordings, Sorry Records, Classic Music Company, 17 Steps, Dansu Discs, Pets Recordings, and more. He’s known for his friendly demeanor, big smile, and unwavering support for new artists and marginalized communities in our scene—traits that shine through in his expansive, multi-genre DJ sets. His selections often center on rave music, Chicago house, and disco, but his multi-decade career has ranged from jungle to footwork to freestyle. This unique form of story-telling has brought him to venues such as Panorama Bar and Fabric, as well as prior residencies at Smartbar in Chicago, and San Francisco’s oldest and most storied queer club, The Stud.

Also known as a well-regarded voice on dance music history, Chrissy ran the popular “My Year of Mixtapes” blog, posting original genre-focused DJ mixes every week for a year. He wrote the liner notes for Hardcore Traxx: Dance Mania Records 1986-1997, compiled the forthcoming Montreal disco retrospective Move Up Energize for Unidisc Music, and has written on dance music history, queer history, and advice for young musicians in Mixmag, Beatportal, DJ Mag, Red Bull Music Academy, XLR8R, and Electronic Beats.

His latest venture is a new record label called Maximum Airtime: a DIY, grass-roots, anti-corporate operation featuring upfront, melody-forward rave bangers from ABSOLUTE., Coco Cole, Tim Reaper, Fear-E, Guchon, Hard Ton, Mister Wallace, and more.

Chrissy is also a mainstay of dance music radio, hosting the monthly Maximum Airtime program on Dublab, and dropping in for regular guest mixes on BBC 6 Music, NTS , Rinse FM, and The Lot Radio. With the stories behind his favorite tunes providing constant inspiration, and the dream of dancefloor utopia always on his mind, it’s clear that Chrissy is still on a mission.

“Chrissy is one of my fave people in music. He's not only extremely talented and a walking talking dance encyclopedia, he is also someone whose stance I really respect…he actively tries to debunk the gatekeeper mentality that dance music is sadly still haunted by, all with a really constructive approach and positive attitude, truly opening doors for newer blood.” — Violet

“Chrissy is one of the best DJs to ever walk the earth and I am just going to keep saying it until everyone agrees with me.” — The Blessed Madonna

“One of the most versatile and knowledgeable DJ/producers on the planet” — Jerome Hill

“The living embodiment of a ‘DJ’s DJ’” — Mixmag
