Favorite Quote:
“We do not receive wisdom, we must discover it for ourselves, after a journey through the wilderness which no one else can make for us, which no one can spare us, for our wisdom is the point of view from which we come at last to regard the world.”
– Marcel Proust
Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community:
Admire famous artists but admire your friends even more. Your peers are the future legends. Be by their side as they work on their projects and don’t take the journey for granted. It is amazing to be present at the inception of something grand.
About the mix: This mix is sort of an ode to femm vocals in dance music. I wanted to showcase the femm talent in our space that I still see as undervalued. I also chose songs that I felt spoke to the femm perspective as opposed to the male gaze. The mix begins with a lovely cover of Doll Parts and then progresses to a more meditative section, followed by more high energy, sexy tracks. I’d say a lot of the lyrics in this mix describe the body and how we feel in it. Body awareness is a huge part of clubbing and raving for me so I wanted to explore some different interpretations of that awareness.
