LEVON VINCENT

Levon Vincent is a DJ and producer from NYC. He is part of the tri-state’s Underground Quality crew Headed by label owner Jus Ed. He runs the Novel Sound label and also makes records for Deconstruct Music, a second label which he manages alongside longtime friend Anthony Parasole (of House n Home).

”I spent my teenage years in the pre-Guiliani dance-friendly 90’s on 8th street at Patricia Field’s store, ticketing clothing in the basement during days, then spending my nights DJing and learning to make house music. In that era I DJ’d at clubs like Limelite, Shelter, Save the Robots, and Nation. The latter half of the 90s was pretty weak in NY, and I dropped out to focus on learning more about music. In 2002, I started working for Halcyon Records in Brooklyn where we hosted parties with DJs like Frankie Knuckles, Danny Krivit, Nicky Siano, Mark Kamins, Jus-Ed and many more inspirational figures. During this time I ran my first record label, “MoremusicNY” and I made my first deep house record, nomoreheros, (released in 2002). Jaymz Nylon heard it in the store and gave me some very important feedback, and helped me understand a newer approach to doing arrangments “on the fly”, which I then explored for the next several years. This technique proved to be a huge piece of the puzzle for me. In 2007 I began preparation for my label, Novel Sound, under the guidance of friend and mentor Jus Ed.”

NINA KRAVIZ

Nina Kraviz- Is a Siberian born young singer , producer and dj. She runs friday nights at Moscow’s famous Propaganda club. Her first 12 inch was released on Greg Wilson’s B77 label-Myspacerocket feat. Nina Kraviz . Then followed the “ Voices Remix Project “ on Jus Ed’s Underground Quality imprint and her first solo EP also appeared on UQ in 2009.

Apart from being a part of the Underground Quality family she does her house ‘n’ disco beats for Rekids and Phillip Solmann’s aka Efdemin’s Naif label. As for her side project Damela Ayer , she did a remix for Reynold’s “craft” on Trenton label.

As a dj Nina is very energetic and emotional. She plays whatever she has in her bag concentrating more on the atmosphere than on knobs and faders. You either love her or hate her- but never in the middle:) though you still can expect some good vibrations coming out.. house, disco, techno according to her taste , which is excellent by the way:)
