Justin Carter was raised on Nickelodeon and Nintendo. This developed (or undeveloped as it were) his attention span, which affords him the ability to float through numerous interests in his life. He is a writer, a DJ, a foodie, a museum and theater enthusiast, a producer of events, and one of two brains behind New Release with Eamon Harkin.

A member of the Nublu family, Justin launched the much-loved Lower East Side musical institution’s record label. He held the Music Director position at Manhattan’s hallowed music venue APT for two years; and he is a music director and weekly resident at outdoor parties The Beach Party and Sunday Best, both well known summer institutions in New York City.

As a DJ he’s played alongside Moodymann, David Byrne, Nicky Siano and Larry Heard at events ranging from underground loft parties—like his semi-regular, semi-secret Easy Lover loft with DJ Probus—to large live music and DJ events--like Mister Saturday Night, an event that brings the best of live and DJed music together at venues around New York.

More important than any co-billings, residencies, or items marked off on the to-do list of life, though, Justin loves music in all its various forms. He mostly just wants to have a good time.
