The Carry Nation

About

The Carry Nation: more than just a Prohibition reference, this NYC-bred duo slams the underground techno scene with a raw, unapologetic energy that’s as infectious as it is intense. Comprised of DJ and producers Nita Aviance and Will Automagic, The Carry Nation cuts a distinct figure in a landscape often obsessed with trends, instead forging their own path through a sonic tapestry woven from acid house, industrial techno, and the gritty spirit of classic New York rave. Their sound, a relentless assault of driving beats and hypnotic synth lines, avoids easy categorization, finding a sweet spot between warehouse grit and ballroom elegance. Early EPs and remixes on labels like Batty Bass established their signature sound, paving the way for high-profile gigs at legendary venues like Panorama Bar and Output. Beyond the decks, they're champions of inclusivity, fostering a safe space within club culture for queer expression and marginalized voices. Collaborations with artists like Cakes da Killa highlight their commitment to amplifying diverse perspectives. Recent releases continue to push boundaries, solidifying The Carry Nation’s position as vital voices in contemporary electronic music, reminding us that the best parties are about liberation and sonic rebellion.
