Colored Craig

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.

CLUB CRAIG THE SESSIONS VOL. 2

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.

JADALAREIGN Residency w/ Hieroglyphic Being ✰

@deezys at Hemlock Hole on Friday afternoon.

“A very special thanks to the Honcho crew for this year’s Campout and for letting me share this set. This was the 4th Honcho Campout I attended and I can’t count the number of times a DJ or artist has made me lose it in the best way at Hemlock Hole. So getting a chance to play a daytime set there was really exciting but daunting. I played this set on day 314 of the genocide in Palestine. As a Palestinian in this current moment, trying to find a voice or create moods in music has felt beyond heavy. Is this a time for moments of joy? For dancing? What does it look like to participate in a dance floor when the world in this moment seems utterly unjust? 

I honestly wasn’t quite sure how to tackle this set. So after a lot of overthinking, I stepped back and poured over nearly all of my records over the course of 5 months. I picked ones that have kept me going this past year, many of which I had never played out before. These records, I hope, highlight the beauty of dance music, the resistance heard in the especially black, brown and queer artists who shape this music, and the importance of participating in a space that feels urgent and irrevocable to the queer community. As I played this set, I wore the words of Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish, who reminds us: “And we love life if we find a way to it. We dance between the martyrs and raise a minaret for violet and palm trees.” Free Palestine.”

Campout Mix Series: Deezy

bass heavy, colors shifting—
bodies moved close
and time bent like light.

this is NuNu’s set—
funk bright, untamed,
basslines grinning, shimmering—
melodies warm, open-armed.

the room in motion—
all smiles, all sway—
beats sparking,
wild shouts—
celebration spun loud.

this was the first—
an ongoing series of monthlies—
for friends to gather,
lose themselves—
a space for local DJs,
music lovers,
and a community that moves.
