Craig Hamilton

Craig Hamilton is a Glasgow-based DJ, House music producer, and Managing Director for the highly successful independent label Flatpack Traxx. With over 15 years of contributions and support for underground music, he continues to introduce talented, up-and-coming artists while showcasing his own quality sound through solid production work and DJ sets across the globe. He has rocked many a dance floor in a variety of venues and parties in Belgium, London, Dubai, Los Angeles, Mexico, San Francisco, and Miami for the Winter Music Conference, along with several residencies at home in Scotland. A majority of his music represents deep Chicago house sounds, but he continues to pull influence from disco, funk, techno, jazz and soul. His strong affection for music far surpasses his talent behind the decks and beyond to the studio. With multiple releases of original tracks and remixes on widely respected house labels such as Tango, Robsoul Recordings, and many others, his exceptional skills and hard work have made him a favorite amongst international underground DJs including Mark Farina, DJ Sneak, Phil Weeks, and Natural Rhythm. The year 2010 was a particularly successful year for him, with the inclusion of two original tracks on the Fries & Bridges (Paris) Uprock 3000 compilation cd. And in 2012, a track from one of his several highly acclaimed 'Hotbox Sessions' EPs was featured in Hed Kandi's Nu Disco 2012 compilation. Other projects include a five-year running weekly radio show (Flatpack Traxx Radio) on Chicago House FM, broadcasting worldwide every Monday night, and a previous position hosting the weekly house music show, Static on Radio Magnetic. With a strong dedication to moving this genre forward, expect continued international gigs, along with many future releases from Craig on Flatpack Traxx and other labels as he continues to inspire and shape the future of underground house music.
