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. 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.

PRIDE Sunday, June 28. 4pm-10pm
The Nursery @publicrecordsnyc
We’re taking this Ritual outside for Pride. There’s something sacred about house music, outside on a Sunday. Something about how the music moves through our bodies that brings so much collective joy and healing. Join us under the trees and canopy of found family, as we invite three talented artists to help us commemorate why we should be proud to be LGBTQIA+.
This Pride we are reclaiming that feeling together.
Colored Craig is a master when it comes to record selections w/ uplifting vocals that feel like church, like healing and like home. He has made NYC and PR his home for now and we welcome him with open arms.
CTRLZORA DJ/Event Producer born and raised in the birthplace of house music, Chicago Illinois. They’ve worked with the city to help preserve sites like the Warehouse and guest taught classes on Black social and cultural dance. They carry the legacy with the seriousness that only comes from knowing the people who built it.
DOULA is a DJ and multidisciplinary artist from the Bronx!
This is going to be a long weekend of amazing pride parties. House music was born from Black and queer community’s who needed a space to be exactly who they are. How we move, how we acknowledge each other, how we dance and let the music flow through us is an act of remembrance and defiance. Come as you are. Dance like it matters. Because it does.
RITUAL exists to honor that lineage.
Tickets on RA/DICE
If you were caught using GHB/GBL or any actions thereof, you will be asked to leave! This is not the vibe!
in order to cultivate synergy on the dance floor, please be considerate of those that are around you. Our goal is to maintain a heterogeneous, inclusive dance floor. Remember: we thrive when our dancefloor is safe, diverse and a respectful place for all.

Colored Craig, a recent NYC transplant and once one of la’s best kept secrets, is no secret anymore. the midwest native proudly wrecks the decks with all vinyl sets, a collection he amassed while frequenting parties in la for years to hear some of the best dj’s around. inspired by the 90’s warehouse scene, craig has made a name for himself at some of the most coveted clubs & festivals across the us, uk and europe.
Berlin’s Panorama Bar, EDC Las Vegas, Public Records in NY, Honcho Campout, Nowadays, Rinse FM and London’s The Cause to name a few.
Colored Craig’s name can be found on line-ups with acts such as Derrick Carter, Honey Dijon, Octave One, DJ Minx, Ash Lauryn, Mike Servito and more. A dream come true for the St. Louis son of a vinyl lover.
Coming from a career as a professional Choreographer, Craig knows exactly what records to play to keep the crowd moving. And to those who don’t dance and prefer a visual display of the music, look no further than the DJ booth. There you’ll find Craig orchestrating the drums and making shapes while rocking the box to a seemingly endless stream of sonic surprises. What may appear to the audience as a pre-set performance is honestly just a lover of dance connecting to his favorite music
The Month of May is now. My break is over. We are back and it is on! I’ve only got a few dates to play but this is where I’ll be this month. East coast. West coast. And Canada. Hope to see you there. And if not… May your chosen dance floors be warm and welcoming. As always, May The Funk B With You!!!

🔉 @coloredcraig has become a familiar face at 233, from his first play in 2023; to appearances for @dwellerforever , @theshelterny and @ritual.bklyn ; and now as a 2026 resident. A choreographer by trade, his all-vinyl, deck-wrecking DJ sets possess the movement, joy, and energy of LA’s ‘90s warehouse scene. If you’ve ever spent time with CC, you know he’s 100% a “House Head.” For his third set of the year at PR, he opens The Sound Room tonight [SAT 4.18] before a back-to-back cameo with @dee.diggs , who closes.

Back for Round 2 of my residency at @publicrecordsnyc next weekend and it’s looking like the entire night is in great hands when it comes to music selectors. I admire all of these DJ’s on and off the turntables. I also recently just scored some new records from my travels back to the west coast and Budapest as well. It’s gonna be cute no matter what, but definitely CUTE WITH YOU is ideal. Heyyyyy @varshh@dee.diggs@c0swo@ladymonixx
On & On & On & On… Last minute threw down a little impromptu set on @thelotradio yesterday. 60 mins of slide, ride, and gliding to and thru different houses on the block. The mix is now up and archived on Lot’s new site. Run it up for a warm up for tonight, @kilopatrahjones residency is tonight at @nowadaysnyc and Her @stellasnacks & I are ready to throw hands (in the air & towards records). We hope you’re ready to throw all other body parts towards the DJ booth!!!
Still thinking about this night.
Three weeks ago New York cousins packed the room and turned it into something special. Thank you to everyone who came to dance, connect, and celebrate house music with us.
Black House Radio NYC 🤎
We love our DJs
