ON TOP live with boyyyish 7/4/23

Inspired by autumn, romance, and falling for it while the leaves fall. 69 tracks (that’s on purpose!) cozied into one three-hour session from a late September weekend. Some bits from my set at our last Rendezvous of the year (9.17.2023) held at Genesee Valley Park.

Fall brings on a unique nostalgia for me. Music evocative of decades prior, tracks and genres heavy in instrumentation, an intentional softness. Pianos, flutes, strings, synths, jazz, swelling wistful melodies between emotional key pairings.

The change in season also inspires feelings of new love. Holding hands in big coats under bright foliage. Cool crisp nights spent warm and sultry indoors. The excited whimsy of feeling butterflies; the subtle fear of uncertainty.

The ‘love song’ selection, samples, and romantic references are intentional; the rest is new, newly discovered, or speaking to the season for me. The opener is a personal favorite, the ending to Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Concerto No. 2 Adagio sostenuto: piano carries floating leaves to the ground, strings send you soaring into the sky. The closer is a particular sunrise moment at Honcho Campout this year 🍁

fall, in love 🍂💌 9.23.2023

Mexico City [sic] club residents Priest and Tommy Hart join forces asthe Sex Shop Boys. Mixing and matching their respective influences and backgrounds, their style adds an unexpected twist to the classic house sound, resulting in a whole greater than the sum of its parts. Expect a fusion of Latin and NYC club music, with an extra sprinkling of contemporary rave tracks that fill up any room, big or small.

Bean Radio x Pegasus Mix 096: AK SPORTS

This mix is a love letter to my best friend and other half, Francisco Manzano (@priest_music). May he live on in the beautiful tapestry of people that he connected with his infectious smile, and forever remembered by the lives he touched through his music. To those of us who knew him, we are all so lucky to have had someone color our lives in such a meaningful way.

The set includes tracks we shared with one another and played out together often, some of my own selections to say goodbye, and obviously a few of our favorite Pet Shop Boys songs. I hope anyone who listens finds a little bit of peace, remembering that the joy we shared with our loved ones who have passed is infinite, expanding, and never done. 

Recorded live at [sic] community club in Mexico City, February 10th, 2024

Rest in peace Manzano, Viva la Priest 💚

This one is for all my LatinX & Island girlies. 

Dreaming of that summer party in a tropical paradise  far away? Want to salsa your heart out on the beach? Or shimmy your maracas at a carnival parade? 

This set EXPLODES with LatinX flavor; From Rio to Mexico City! With predominately Spanish, Portuguese and Caribbean languages + more international influence: including salsa, island dance, disco and a sprinkle of camp surprises/covers. Bursting with a fanfare of Spanish influences, carnival rhythms and breakdowns. This is a salsa, high energy dance set full of fun! 

Originally recorded at a queer gathering in the mountains. For those who were there, the finale song was lip-synced by the incredible DIEGO! What a show! What a night!
