Jean-Philippe Aviance

Jean-Philippe Aviance is a French American house and techno DJ and producer from Washington, D.C. His career took off in 1990 when he started DJing for Mother Juan Aviance's voguing house (the House of Aviance) and weekly Kindergarten Parties at the Vault Nightclub in D.C. These weekly parties were frequented by U.S. nightlife personalities like Kevin Aviance (whom Jean-Philippe had worked with before back in the 1980s), New York City's Club kids such as Amanda Lepore, James St. James and Kenny Kenny. Jean-Philippe was the House of Aviance's first ever DJ. The House of Aviance is one of the legendary houses within the ball scene known for its vogueing, fashion, music and performances. Jean-Philippe is a member of that House, and it is from that House where he takes his last name.

In 1991, Aviance produced a track titled Go Bitch Go! – "Work This Pussy" (Original Bitch Mix). This track has been covered and released numerous times by some high profile DJs such as Armand Van Helden in his 2014 Masterpiece. According to music critic Barry Walters, Britney Spears' 2013 track Work Bitch from her Britney Jean album is a recreation of "the vogueing vibe of gay/trans bitch tracks like Go Bitch Go's "(Work This) Pussy" [Go Bitch Go! – "Work This Pussy"] originally produced by Aviance in 1991. Critic Christina Lee posits that, Britney's Work Bitch track sounds more like RuPaul's 1993 track Supermodel (You Better Work). Aviance would go on to produce other classic house tracks such as Giv Me Luv - which was remixed in 2009 by DJs Chris Cox and Yiannis Mistress. Other works include Ultraworld – Life After Death on Strictly Rhythm (1991), Sexy Thing (1996) Useless (1999) and Black On Black (2001).
