Colored Craig

4AM NYC is a Brooklyn-based / London-born DJ, Producer and Educator. Known as a vinyl assassin like no other, they provide nights of music unbound by genre, dedicated to the dance floor; ruled by a furious and vivid emotional spectrum. Storytelling takes precedence in their practice and the tale will be told by any means necessary - whether it’s via heart-wrenching soul, finger-snapping house, euphoric and demonic techno, or unclassifiable future classics straight out of leftfield - their delivery is always uncompromising and energizing, passionate and sincere. For over a decade they have served dancefloors the world over: New York, London, Pittsburgh, Detroit and beyond - holding down residencies with their own party series Spiritual Mental Physical at beloved NYC night clubs such as Good Room, Le Bain, and Jupiter Disco. Their skills and commitment to the art of djing have seen them play alongside the likes of Waajeed, Ash Lauryn, Eli Escobar, Marshall Jefferson, Danny Krivit, Kai Alce, JADALAREIGN, Moma Ready + more.

Notes on the Mix ///

"This mix was directly inspired by a warehouse party i played recently in Brooklyn with Eli [Escobar] called 'Relativity' hosted by The Electrik Company. (We didn't record, but my track history was saved and i went back into the studio a few days later to recreate the magic once more for XOXA.) I got to play an extended set for a packed house that night and the energy literally was electric! It was awesome to have that back n forth with the crowd throughout. I crept up through some really seductive downtempo Techno and House at the beginning, up to harder and more hypnotic joints that i had a lot of fun layering and fkin around with, and then came in with a Disco curve ball at the end to re-energize the room and reset for Eli comin on after me. I really like to ride blends for a long time and make two records sing together - to the point where you don't know where one ends and the next begins. Making different tracks have conversations with one another is always something i like to explore during my sets no matter where or when i'm playing. I imagine each record as a fully formed being with their own defined personalities - how would they get into it with each other if they were to meet at a party? Would they fall in love? Heatedly argue with each other? Would it be a sparring of intellect over a hot topic? I wish I could see the looks on your faces when you listen to this and hear the resulting chorus of every record i played. Njoy <3"

XOXA BLEND 116 - 4AM NYC

It’s literally queer black church. We were in a church. We were queer. We were various colors of blacks & browns. LIVING & GIVING. So it’s giving House. Gospel. R&B. Disco. Ballroom. Techno. Deep. Nature. Acapella. Spoken Word. Speech. All on vinyl. All from the heart.

Erin grew up in the midwest in the 90s, isolated from the rave scene but having a chance discovery of Warp Records and adjacent UK dance music via the internet in their teenage years. In the blog house era of 2007 they started playing a monthly party in Madison, WI, which led to a brief residency at Smartbar in Chicago before moving to NYC in 2009. This move coincided with a growing musical dissatisfaction. The scene they knew felt and sounded increasingly vapid and commercialized. At this point Erin took a long hiatus from DJing and instead focused on showing up to parties in order to listen, both figuratively and literally. It wasn’t until 2014 when they first attended Movement in Detroit, and more specifically No Way Back, that they started to find their place in it all and the sounds that still move them today.

In the years between then and now was a winding path through many cities, scenes, and parties across the globe in search of a more complete picture of a community that resonated. Time was spent in LA helping with the Acid Camp parties, and another 2.5 year run in NYC which led to a deeper love and connection to the house & techno music scenes there via The Carry Nation and The Bunker parties, among many others. All of these influences helped them find their footing and in 2018 they attended Honcho Campout for the first time. This contributed greatly to a decision to move to Pittsburgh in 2020 at which point all of these experiences started to coalesce into who Erin Platner is today. Alongside the quick adoption of a new home came the desire to share who they had become, musically, back to the dance music communities that had given them so much. This is the sound that comes through today in Erin’s mixes and DJ sets.

“This mix is my attempt to tell a story about the past five to six years of my life. A period of major upheaval, loss, learning, forgiveness, growth, and ultimately celebration. It touches on some of my most cherished influences during this time, specifically in New York, Taiwan, Berlin, and most importantly my adopted home town of Pittsburgh. It’s a tale of accepting pain, leaning into the difficulty of moving forward and being vulnerable, coming out the other side to tell the tale, and ultimately coming back to the dance floor to absolutely lose it to great music surrounded by friends. Thank you for listening!”

Deep South Podcast - 122 - Erin Platner

People in Los Angeles usually remember the moment they first saw Colored Craig DJ. He cuts a memorable figure: throwing down records on the turntables and dancing like he's in the crowd, not behind the decks. He's one of those rare selectors who's almost as fun to watch as he is to listen. But the rest of the world should be listening. Over the past few years, Colored Craig has become one of the LA area's most in-demand DJs, not just because of his considerable skills, but because of his old-school, loved-up ethos. He plays classic house records with a verve and style that you can't really teach or learn. You just have to have it.

A choreographer by trade, everything about Craig has to do with movement, the joy of it, the energy you both gain and lose through dancing. His RA Podcast, recorded in his living room (a sort of nightclub in itself) gets across the infectious, uplifting energy of his sets, blazing through tracks from Kerri Chandler, Masters At Work and Chez Damier, and even including a disco house track that samples the Price Is Right theme. You might call this sound nostalgic, but it doesn't feel that way coming from Colored Craig, who is obsessed with the now, and the power of the moment. That outlook is all over this mix, and with any luck, you'll be hearing and watching him DJ around the world outside of LA sometime soon.

For the 121st entry in the Honcho Podcast Series we welcome, @tabasheer!  'Traversing many musical paths between tender dreamscapes, wayward polyrhythms, buoyant percussion, and weirdo transmutations' is an apt description for this beautiful 3 hour mix.  This set was recorded in July, Tabasheer played a perfect opening set, providing the perfect introduction for the rest of the night.

"This mix is for the dancers who were in Laika for my set at Field Maneuvers this summer. There were technical issues with the sound recording for some of the sets (including mine) so I’ve re-recorded it for this mix. It’s hard to capture the same energy and I think that some of these tracks work better in a live context but I wanted to have a sonic reminder of this special moment and share it here. I was asked to do this mix off the back of that festival so it made sense for it to have its home on Mantissa <3"

Colored Craig, one of LA’s best kept secrets, is a force of soul, technique and a crowd fave at any rave!

A long time veteran in the Film & TV Industry, Colored Craig is well known both in front of and behind the camera lens as a performer and director. He also has long-standing roots in the community, on and off the dance floors he loves deeply.

With a sound super reminiscent of the 90's warehouse scene - he jams, swings, and slams through his vinyl records displaying total crowd control and an infectious energy.

The sights and sounds he showcases leave party goers with no choice but to let go, let loose and get down! 

If you’ve ever spent time with CC, you know he is 100% a 'House Head' and believes equally in the Power of Music & the Power of Love.

Moreover, if you ever get an intimate invite to 'Club Craig' -- be ready to transcend space and time!
