DJ Mikey Fuentes first discovered his passion for house music from his older brother David, whose vast collection of mix tapes were his introduction to these new sounds. At 16 years old, Fuentes' first nightlife experience immediately sparked his obsession with legendary New York clubs like The Tunnel, Vinyl, Limelight and Twilo. The DJ's at these venues, Danny Tenaglia, Junior Vasquez and Hex Hector would become influential to his knowledge of house music.
 
A native New Yorker and avid traveler Fuentes has not only been exposed to but continues to absorb global and multi-cultural sounds, which resonates through all of his sets and mixes. These experiences have enabled him to develop an exquisite ear for music.
 
Fuentes believes in breaking barriers between sounds by seamlessly intertwining New York underground dance music with disco, garage, house, funk and soul. His effortless use of samples, diverse track selections and technical ability lends to a flawless mix of rhythms that erupt into uncontrollable movement.
 
With a lot of hard work and dedication to music, Fuentes has spun along side some of New York City’s finest including DJ Nita and Will Automagic of The Carry Nation, W. Jeremy Pelser and Christi Love of House of Stank, Sparber, Dawson and held a residency at Room Service NYC. You may have heard him take the decks at The Carry Nation, EPSP, Tenjune and Excessive Sound.
 
In addition to his solo projects, Fuentes continues to push boundaries collaborating with Sparber birthing the production and DJ duo, DONKEY. With two remixes under their belt for New York's Get Up Recordings and Gomination labels, DONKEY is committed to establishing musical endeavors through production and their signature SESSIONS mix series found on SoundCloud and Mixcloud.

The official Soundcloud account of OAK. A NYC based cutting edge mens and women's designer clothing store. Here are the sounds we enjoy in store. 

After discovering their mutual love for house music, producers Josh Sparber and Mikey Fuentes merged their creative aspirations, resulting in the DJ and production duo DONKEY. Drawing on references from house, funk, disco and soul, DONKEY aims to share and build upon New York’s world-class sound.

For the past 10 years, Sparber has honed his DJing techniques, playing to crowds internationally and at home in the East Village at his former weekly Good Times party at Eastern Bloc. He explores sounds from tech house to hip hop to booty. His DJ heroes include Ellen Allien, Armand Van Helden and David Mancuso.

Fuentes has always had eclectic tastes in music. As a native New Yorker, his early club adventures led him to Tunnel, Limelight and Twilo, where he was schooled in New York’s underground sounds. 
HIS past experiences include a residency at Room Service New York, in addition to spinning at The Carry Nation, EPSP, and Excessive Sound. 

DONKEY continues to produce and DJ, currently their discography includes remixes out on Tribal Records, Get Up Recordings, and Gomination.

We're a record label started by Eli Escobar & Blu Jemz. Born out of a night we did with our friend Lloydski every Saturday, for 3 years at NYC's decadent Le Bain night club.

As a label we will be the main creative outlet for Eli's music, as well as whatever else we come across that we feel deserves a release. 

As a party, the three of us continue to play together at the end of every month, alternating between NY's Le Bain and Output.

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.
