About Honey Dijon: Born and raised in Chicago, Honey grew up surrounded by House music, and the creative souls who started a global movement. Moving to New York, she learned her art of DJing the right way: by playing records night after night after night. She worked the dancefloors of the city to master her connection with the crowd, that special magic she now brings to every set she plays. It led to some legendary residencies such as Ladyfag’s Battle Hymn party, where every Pride she would play twelve hours sets. Honey has put in the work in music and fashion, the results of which are clear for all to see: the legendary Sugar Mountain DJ set for Boiler Room with now over 7,000,000 views on YouTube; her fashion line Honey Fucking Dijon now stocked in stores worldwide; her work mixing catwalk music for creative director Kim Jones now of Dior Men, and winning DJ Magazine’s award for Best DJ of North America in 2019, it is all just the beginning.
Speaking on her new album, she says “As an artist, especially as a trans woman of colour working in music, I wanted the album to be in-your-face, unapologetic, raw and honest. The album is very timely. I’ve mostly collaborated with black, queer singers and songwriters. These are songs about love, life, resistance, fighting oppression.”
About Derrick Carter: Derrick Carter is widely acknowledged as one of the best DJs in the world. With innovative productions, flawless technical skills and an effortlessly joyful attitude of rocking a crowd, his influence has infiltrated throughout the spectrum of dance music. Although known as one of the key players of Chicago's house music wave in the '90s, Derrick Carter began DJing at the age of nine, spinning disco records at family reunions. Raised in the western suburbs, Derrick was into music from a young age; during his teens Chicago's house scene sucked him in for good and before long he became a strong presence in the city's underground dance scene. Derrick's sets are rooted in house, but he freely travels outside conformative club tastes, seamlessly incorporating old-school disco, soul, jazz, and whatever else catches his fancy to jack the beat and rock the party.
