Corona Queens born, but with a long formative stretch growing up in Nebraska, and from Jamaican roots, (Derrick Harriott is an uncle), Brooklyn's Duane Harriott is as unique and specific as that trajectory indicates. One of our longtime NY peeps, Duane has always taken his own path and carved out a meaningful sensibility away from the various trends that come and go. (bearded hipster take note!) One of the founding residents of NYC's famed APT, Duane has played at pretty much every significant NY spot high and low for the past 15 years. Look for Duane's edit and remix work on the Stilov4music, Lumberjacks in Hell, and Intimate Friends labels amongst others.(Released under the monikers Devin Dare w/ Sean Marquand Bim Marx w/ Jorge West, Desiree West, & 2BAN) Also check out his weekly radio show on WFMU every Wednesday from 12-3pm, it is also archived. The first person we mentioned the "podcast" idea to, we are gassed to finally have him on board. For all things Dr. Duane go to:

One of the leading producers and remixers in contemporary dance music, Cambridge raised Ray Mang, (Raj Gupta) hardly needs an intro. Under the name Ray Mang, (also under Laj, Sir Raymond Mang, Block 16, & Motif) he has written and recorded tracks with people like Jon Lucien, Bim Sherman, Jhelisa, Kier Kerby, Robert Owens and Mozez. He has also remixed tracks for disco heroes like Roxy Music, Banda Black Rio, Terry Callier, Freddie Mercury, Beck, Shirley Bassey, Bryan Ferry and Grace Jones amongst others. You can find his remixes and original material on labels like Bearfunk, DFA, Eskimo, Under the Shade, Noid, and his own Mangled label. Raj is a busy man with tons of stuff coming out, so we are very happy he made time for this great set. At this writing Raj was locked in a house filled with seven year olds and flying spaghetti, we hope he survives! Look for his work, hope to see him DJ in your town, and get your fix of Mang here:
