Advice for the DJs, artists and producers of our community: I always feel a bit weird giving advice because I feel like I’m still / always still figuring shit out, but if I’ve learned anything its that when you create “art,” it can be easy to fall into ideas of what others are doing and how you should be like them or similar to them, but the most rewarding type of work for me (emotionally and often tangibly) is work that comes right out of you and splats onto the metaphysical page. Our lives as femmes / enby’s / people of color / femmes of color / queers are so enlightened and magical - the knowledges that we have are unique and beautiful and valuable, and the best and only way to channel that magic is through real honesty at the decks / computer / artistic interface. Don’t give a fuck what anyone thinks you should do, they don’t know you and they don’t know what you’re feeling. Real honest work smells like freshly baked bread, or coffee roasting in the morning - it’s fkn irresistible.

Daisychain 085 - DJ Saskia

Daisychain is a movement to showcase power, beauty, and strength of DJs and artists. Like the sequencing of electrical equipment, Daisychain will connect and develop a symbiotic network of trans, nonbinary people and femmes - from all backgrounds. DJs and artists from these realms of identity will continue to find their strength in sound by showcasing their art for a weekly guest mix series.
