“Heard Chuancey DJ many times: dark seductive to chelsea loungey to outright house. 2nite 80s cheese. Most versatile nyc dj? I think so.” – J Roman Torres of Slowdivemusic

Latest tracks by dj chauncey d
DJ CHAUNCEY D, a loud and proud Jersey Boy (and not ashamed to say it), first added those two letters “D” and “J” to his name back in 2003 at Urge Lounge in New York City’s East Village. DJ CHAUNCEY D is self-taught and that is what has created his most unique sound, style and sensibility.
DJ CHAUNCEY D has supplied the… sleazy soundscape for many of New York City’s gay “hot spots” such as: Beetlejuice@ Nowhere (his own monthly produced party), Boysroom, Daddy @ Vlada, GRUFF @ The Eagle, Hugs, Stonewall, Sugarland (Williamsburg, Brooklyn), The Chapel @ Limelight, The Cock, The Dugout, Woof! @ View Bar, and Woof! (Philadelphia).
Currently, he holds a weekly residency at Woody’s in the East Village with his already heralded SODOMIGHTY party featuring brimstone beats by Mr. Dandridge himself. Also, on the first Sunday of every month at NOWHERE Bar in the East Village, Chauncey holds his BEETLEJUICE party where he flavours his set with new jack swing, classic house, grunge, freestyle and more from the late 80s and early 90s with visuals and theme nights from the same era. Check out houseofdandridge.com/beetlejuice for this month’s theme as well as recollections of the retro night approaching two years of age. This is the very first party Chauncey has completely concieved on his own and each month he performs the triple duties of hosting, djing and producing a wonderfully successful, heavily attended evening of ‘naughty nostalgia’.
On Wednesday, September 8th, at LUCKY CHENG’S, Chauncey begins his newest venture into NYC nightlife with Coby Koehl called “LEGENDARY”. The night will consist of a dj set including soul, rhythm and blues, disco and funk featuring performances by host Coby Koehl and a slew of guest performers from NYC and beyond.

DJ CHAUNCEY D’s taste in music is constantly expanding along with his professional music resume. His insatiable need to share brand new musical discoveries is only matched by his love for New Wave, Disco, and the Classic House that served as the soundtrack of his arrival on the New York City club scene in the mid-90s.
NEXT Magazine once labeled him a “queer celebrity” and DJ CHAUNCEY D constantly searches for and finds ways to twinkle. He is also a writer, poet, lyricist, event producer, activist, masochist, narcissist and avid blogger

Spin the Deejay – Chauncey D
here is an excerpt from the interview!
What’s your current typical tech set up for playing out?
I used to lug around my big cd binder filled with tons of discs arranged and labelled in a system that only I could decipher and figure out… But a few months ago I moved completely into the digital world and use the magic weapon of Traktor along with the occasional back up hard drive for maximum library potential.
What requests won’t you take?
I refrained from playing Lady Gaga for the longest time…but I have honestly given in reluctantly only twice. I also rarely played michael jackson and the first time I did in years…he…umm…died the next day.
You’re bombing. What’s the next track?
I usually stick to my guns. I always have naive faith that someone out there will dig the next track I play.
Who should play your funeral?
I wasn’t planning on dying, but if I were I’d probably have the music preplanned myself… But I’d take Armand Van Helden for sure if my original plan backfired.
What are you when you’re not a DJ?
I don’t think once you’re a DJ you are ever not working in some wave form, but I just recently became a lighting engineer/designer to bring home the bacon. I’m also an avid blogger, event producer and promoter, activist, poet and budding graphic designer. I am returning to college next year to possibly embark on a social work/psychology related career. Oh, and I recently became a minister so that I can marry my best friend from high school Dawn and her girlfriend in October.
You’re trapped on a desert island. Which diva have you brought along to eat?
Since she has the most powerful rejuvenating power on the planet known to man… I would make myself some Madonna kielbasa and pack it in a big ole cooler to keep smooth and creamy and pop icon goddess-like.
