Don Crisp was born in Chicago and grew up in Memphis, Tennessee. He started taking piano lessons at the age of six from an aunt who wanted him to play in church. When Don was eight his father, Maurice, bought him an alto saxophone, and by the time he was 15 was proficient with the clarinet, electric bass and drums. 

All this musical activity in high school led to a music scholarship at the University of Memphis. After leaving college in 1989 he relocated to California, and it was there, in the San Francisco Bay Area, that he began using his musical skills to make his own music. Subsequently, he became a keyboardist for prolific Jamaican reggae artists such as Pablo Moses, The Mighty Diamonds, Frankie Paul, The Itals, and Foundation. He also accompanied them on extensive tours of the U.S, Canada, and Europe. 


It was in the Bay Area that he first experienced house music and other forms of electronic dance music. He was greatly influenced by what he heard and by the mid- 90s had started his own label, Crisp Records, initially releasing material with fellow San Francisco musician and DJ, Chris Lum. He put out three EPS on the imprint before moving on to other projects. The label had been quiet since the late ‘90s, but in the summer of 2011 Don revived it, renaming it Crisp Recordings, and began a collaboration with legendary Bay Area producer, Guy Nado AKA DJ Rasoul. 

This collaboration has spawned 14 releases on Crisp, which have found success on dance floors across the globe and in the top 100 charts on Tracksource. At a time when the vast majority of dance releases are minimalist and lacking any real sense of emotional content or arrangement, Don’s work brings some much needed fun and funk into the equation.

Greg Scarnici is a Brooklyn-based writer, producer and DJ. A native New Yorker, his musical style has been influenced from decades of absorbing New York nightlife. Nights at Red Zone, Sound Factory, 718 Sessions, Carry Nation and countless other clubs and parties have helped him hone his style of uplifting Chicago, Detroit and New York House mixed with disco and re-edits inspired by the music played by his DJ forefathers at Paradise Garage and Danceteria. Greg has spun on the legendary Fire Island for for over ten years, as well as at his party, Below Tea, on the last Sunday of the month at The Monster in NYC. He has released music under his own name, his drag persona, Levonia, as well as his band, Undercover, whose sophomore album, Night Beats, was called “elegant and stunning.” His latest singles, “The Elevator" and "The Serve" are out now, with more releases on the horizon.

Grew up listening to new wave, so I have a penchant for the alternative and underground. I came out as a gay man in NYC in the late 80s, clubbing at Mars, Tunnel, Sound Factory, The Roxy, Boy Bar, and many, many other places...so, most of my mixes steer into classic and underground house vibes. Influenced by the likes of Frankie Knuckles, Junior Vasquez, MK, and more, most of my DJ gigs are at SOMA bars and clubs like Powerhouse, SF Eagle, and BeatBox. Enjoy!

The Carry Nation (Nita Aviance and Will Automagic) are DJs and producers whose style is deeply rooted and fundamentally intertwined with the historical arc of New York City's most affirming nightlife experiences. Nita is a noted member of the legendary House of Aviance. She started DJing around the turn of the millennium and was a resident at the infamous Mr. Black and Westgay, both touchstones for queer artistry and culture in downtown nightlife of the early 2000's. Will has deep roots in NYC club culture, having worked at The Loft and collaborated closely with David Mancuso, holding residencies at many of the downtown New York clubs over the years including The Limelight, Life and Vandam. After dividing his time between NYC and Paris, working on music with fashion houses such as Issey Miyake, Vivienne Westwood and Yves Saint Laurent, Will returned to DJing dance floors when he co-created SPANK with partners Sean B & Jason Roe. What started as a basement dance party evolved into a roving art-based warehouse party along with a namesake zine. SPANK began to work closely with Horse Meat Disco and the close relationship with that crew has extended in various forms through the years into the present.

Currently, Nita and Will perform globally as both individual DJs and, more often, as a duo --they are most recognized for epic extended B2B sets and their wildly successful monthly queer party (also known as The Carry Nation) at Brooklyn's Good Room. Their range is wide and exciting, and in the New York tradition they effortlessly flow through genres and time periods while keeping a modern edge. Since the inception of The Carry Nation, the duo has toured the world extensively including Glastonbury’s Block 9 and Berlin’s Berghain/Panorama Bar among many others. They also have a residency at Ladyfag's flagship monthly Battle Hymn. As producers, their credits include releases and remixes on Get Up Recordings, Classic Music Company, TRIBAL, Nervous, TRAX, Batty Bass, TWIRL, W&O Street Tracks and more. Their latest venture is Major Records, an imprint they co-founded with Justin Cudmore to showcase their Majorettes collaboration with releases that are setting dancefloors alight with a fresh but classic house vibe that stays rooted in the excitement of New York’s history and underground.
