DJ, promoter and curator CCL is a founding member of TUF - a Seattle based collective focused on community-building and creating visibility for underrepresented artists in dance music. A force of the US scene, their hard work is helping to shape North America’s music community through their work with Discwoman, Decibel Festival, Corridor and more.
In the past year, their mixes and sets introduced international listeners to their distinct sound and received accolades from Mixmag, FACT and Pitchfork. A feverish collector of records, CCL has an affinity for freaky and fluid sounds. Whether that’s in the form of breaks, bubbling electro, twisted techno or velvet textured ambient – they will guide you through a kaleidoscope of rhythms.
CCL has performed at countless international venues, highlights of which are ://about-blank (Berlin), Globus (Berlin), IFZ (Leipzig), Smartbar (Chicago), Nowadays (NYC) Yuyu (Mexico City), Movement (Detroit).
“Through the multiple forward-thinking activities CCL is involved in, the Seattle-based artist is dedicated to making a difference. These include TUF, the proactive intersectional collective that provides essential support to its members and fosters positive growth through events such as workshops, and Decibel, an organisation that promotes events showcasing the most exciting and out-there sounds in electronic music. A sense of difference translates into CCL’s DJ sets that eschew any notion of straightness in favour of cutting between tempos and styles with exhilarating dexterity. One way or another, CCL is an artist keeping people on their toes. Patrick Hinton†- Mixmag
