Derrick Carter is widely acknowledged as one of the better DJs of 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 began DJ’ing at the age of nine, spinning disco and funk
records at family reunions. he freely travels outside standard club
tastes, incorporating old-school disco, soul, jazz, new wave, and
whatever else catches his fancy.
Michael Serafini first got his start in Chicago nightlife in the 80’s
working for Berlin nightclub as a video jockey and remixer. Under the
mentorship of close friends Terri Bristol and Ralphi Rosario, Michael
began deejaying regularly in the early 90’s. Shortly after, he took up
a position at one of Chicago house’s most famous institutions,
Gramaphone Records. As his experience grew, so did his reputation,
later landing a residency at Boom Boom Room, then the city’s longest
running and well known house night. In 2007, Serafini took over
ownership of Gramaphone Records which he still operates today. His
current residency is for the weekly Sunday party, Queen!
Born and raised in West suburban Chicagoland, Shaun J. Wright spent
most of their teen years immersed in the sounds of house music. Their
love for dance music expanded throughout their high school years as
they partook in the underground dance scene now globally known as
Juke. While in undergrad at Morehouse College in Atlanta, they
developed their skills as a dancer/voguer in professional dance
companies and the ballroom scene. After acquiring an MA Fashion
Curation, from the London College of Fashion, Wright enjoyed an active
career in fashion in New York City. That is where they met Andrew
Butler, founder of Hercules and Love Affair, and began a whirlwind
collaboration with the ensemble as a vocalist. Currently, Wright is
exhilarating dance floors worldwide as a dj and is featured on several
acclaimed releases with Stereogamous, Bell Boys, Bobmo, Kiki, Alinka,
and System of Survival with more stellar collaborations on the
horizon.
