QUEENDOM (#WomensHistoryMonth Mix)

For your listening pleasure, we have teamed with 3 phenomenal artists to bring you a special #PrideMonth playlist. Give us a listen & turn it up!

Music mixed by DJ Sizzle Fantastic (@sizzle007) with accompanying visual art by Lexx Valdez (@lexx_valdez) and Davia Spain (@daviaspain).

This music compilation was made in honor of Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, two Transwomxn of color, who paved the way for the Queer liberation movement from the Stonewall Riots to present day struggles. The compilation takes the listeners through the 60s, 70s, 80, 90s, and 2000s club scenes using bits of Queer testimony and some of the most memorable songs that have been performed and loved by Drag Queens and club goers alike throughout the years. Many of these songs are staples within the Queer club scenes and have served as ways to document movement, fashion, culture, and queer resilience. 

This mix is also dedicated to my brother and all of the Queer people, especially, Transwomxn we have lost to violence. A reminder that no matter how far we have come, there is no PRIDE for some of us if there is no PRIDE for ALL OF US.
