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.

This is our new song JUST FOR THE BOOM featuring Arike on the vocals. This is an old Hip-House beat by DESKEE that we found, digging through our crates. We wrote our own lyrics to Deskee's Dub, and made a brand new song called Just For The Boom. Its definitely just a feel good track yet o so housey. Hope you like! We sure do!

Thanx Again to Arike, and if this track ever gets back to Deskee, we hope he he likes it too, as we were inspired by him.   HOUSE NATION  .

At home digging in the stash. A nice mix to start the morning.

CLUB CRAIG THE SESSIONS VOL. 2

A Sentimental Mashup featuring Steve Bug’s “Mixed Up Moods” slowed to 33rpm, paired w an acapella Mary J Blige song “My Love”. Made for those in deep feels over love and/or lack of it.

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.
