musclecars
Native to New York, musclecars is a DJ / Producer duo consisting of Brandon Weems and Craig Handfield. As musicians, they nod to great classic and soulful dance music, but with their added twists of transcendental jazz, deep elements, and cinematic mood. Rooted in community, their mission to unite people through music has taken them worldwide, earning recognition in Rolling Stone, Billboard, DJ Mag, Resident Advisor, Mixmag, and more. With acclaimed mixes and multiple outstanding releases, they are a rising force in the global underground scene.
In 2018, they launched Coloring Lessons, a party designed to enrich their city’s nightlife culture. Free of strict genres, it flows effortlessly through house, disco, jazz, soul, and beyond—honoring the sounds of their Black and Brown predecessors. Inspired by their city’s incomparable dance music history, from The Paradise Garage and The Loft, to Body and Soul and Shelter, the party seeks to push that spirit forward, sharing its rhythms and legacy with a new generation.
Today, Coloring Lessons has evolved into a multifaceted platform, encompassing not only the party, but a record label, educational series, radio show, and mix series. Together, these ventures uplift artists from their city and beyond, while preserving and celebrating the rich musical heritage of their forebears, inspiring peers, and educating younger generations about the roots of this timeless sound.
