Name: Tom DeBlase at Buddy Buddy by Buddy Buddy
Duration: 2 h 11 min 5 s
Description: Tom DeBlase's opening set at Buddy Buddy on December 1, 2018 in Buffalo, NY.

Probably one of kindest and welcoming humans you’ll ever meet. FEVER’s next mix is from Tom DeBlase and he’s quite a big deal in the Rochester, NY Queer scene. Tom paid us a visit back in 2019 but back home he’s resident DJ and promoter for his own party, Sole Rehab. Every DJ has unique stories about how they got started and Tom’s is no different. Mom played an important part at an early age listening to the weekly radio show Hearts of Space on Sunday nights. After attending his first rave in 1996 he knew what he had to do. Collaborative events began in the mid-2000’s and his first solo event series in 2008. He connects with many different genres bringing together effortless sets that span the complete history of Queer dance music. I’ve known Tom for a couple years now and his mixes continue to evolve and take listeners on new journey into familiar and sometimes unknown territory. And the second  contribution to our mix series is no different. FEVER is very excited to bring Tom back in July but take a listen to his mix to tide you over until then.

Recording from Club Pansy on 11/6
Queer DIY raves forever and ever <3 
So much love for everyone organized, set up, worked and hosted this

Also: I almost didn't want to put this up unedited cause there is a weird silence around 1:19 from a CDJ loading problem. In the end though it felt better to leave the recording as is rather than disrupting the slightly magic votex of the night. So here it is ...blemishes and all

Kandylion has a sound that is deeply rooted in the years she has spent in the NYC queer scene. Infusing house groves with elements of disco, soul, rnb, acid and breaks, she seeks to provide an uplifting and irresistible dance floor experience that is accessible to all.

JC (SPRFRK) Brooklyn, NY via Miami, FL, A dance floor diva-turned-DJ with a strong presence in the Brooklyn underground queer scene. He’s held a residency at Happyfun Hideaway with his formerly know “Sick’ning Fridays” happy hour since 2020.

He hopes to continue collaborating and growing with DJs and artists from all over and bring his extra spicy and freaky flavor with his diverse and eclectic sound to many more dance floors in NYC and around the world.

Notes on the Mix ///

"It was a really fun process putting this together with JC and finding a cohesive sound between our two musical tastes, which are very similar! I love the extra gay moments we came up with. I also love how the structure of this mix mimics what I consider to be an ideal dance floor experience: a warmup with lots of percussive groove; a slow build in energy with lots of soul and classic house styles that locks you in through to the peak; and a lush melodic wind down that ends on an optimistic note :)

If you know JC/SPRFRK, then you know he is a person who brings a special energy to a room (and to the decks!) Over the time I’ve known him, I’ve watched him grow and refine his sound as a dj and I love the chemistry that we’ve developed playing together, so I knew he was absolutely the right choice for this b2b. I’m so glad to have him both as a friend and a musical cohort and look forward to many more dance floor moments together!" -Kandylion

"I’m very honored to be part of this XOXA B2B mix with KANDYLION. Not only has she become a great friend of mine in the scene, but the more we get to know each other, the more in sync we become musically. Playing with KANDYLION has been such a fun adventure and this mix is a reflection of what fun we have playing together. Hope to continue this journey with her and reach many dance-floors with our energizing sound!" -SPRFRK


Notes on XOXA ///

“XOXA has been a part of my life since 2018 and the memories will last a lifetime! It’s been a beautiful ride as well as an important source for connection and development for me as part of a vibrant network of queer artists in nightlife. Here’s to six more years!" -Kandylion

"XOXA has been a great part and major supporter of my DJ career. They make a great impact in the queer nightlife scene in NYC with their great parties and iconic bookings. If you’re ever at a XOXA party, I can guarantee you’ll be dancing all night!" -SPRFRK

Honcho Podcast Series 118: Love Letters

Born and raised in Queens, a city dweller and a club kid, https://soundcloud.com/kilopatrah- has an innate and superlative gift for transferring energy from the booth to the dance floor—through exciting house, techno, and jungle, and moments that both harken to Sound Factory–era glory days and bring you to sweaty BPMs of the future.

About her favorite track in the mix:
“The track I wish to hi-light  would be “Time For Love (David Morales Club Mix)” By Kim English. For this mix I wanted to focus on diva energy and Kim English is the perfect example  This track reminds me of my travels in djing this summer and the people I’ve met but we share a common deep love and appreciation for house music. It calls as a reminder that music is the common denominator and thru this love, anything is possible :) “
