Craig Mitchell

cRAIG mITCHELL, a.k.a. oLIVERtWISTED, a founding member of the chart-topping production team The Orange Factory, fathered and cultivated the dance music scene in Burlington, Vermont, where he went to Saint Michaels College after moving from Saginaw Michigan…near the birthplace of techno, Detroit, Michigan. With over 30 years behind the decks, cRAIG has served as a resident at New York City’s legendary Tunnel, Boston’s Rise, Miami’s Twist, and has played the country’s most celebrated venues and club nights. He has rocked crowds alongside such tastemakers as Chris Fortier, Peter Rauhofer, Honey Dijon, Manny Ward, Victor Calderone, John Creamer and Tom Stephan (Superchumbo), amongst others.  cRAIG, also, started and ran MIND TRAIN RECORDS for Yoko Ono, which delved into her back catalog ond put the vocals to dance beats, which yielded several Top 10 Billboard Dance Hits, including Walking on Thin Ice, which landed her at #1. 

One experience with cRAIG behind the tables, belting out one of his tracks LIVE during his sets, while dancing continuously in the booth, on stage performing his one man show, “Do Unto Others” or with his 7 piece band, PURPLE, his acoustic project, CRAIGEN, or San Mateo, which is a project featuring Matt Burr of Grace Potter and The Nocturnals, and you’ll understand why his shows are so well attended and recieved. Unlike many of today’s DJ’s who are so focused on their mix, that they forget about the VIBE…the GROOVE, cRAIG is not just a DJ, he is a performer, a preacher, and activist…a VOICE.  As Prince would say… cRAIG IS music, but so much more. Get INTO it!
