DJ KITTY GLITTER MIXSET #135 - ONE MAGICAL WEEKEND '23 PROMO

Dj Toche Warm Up Dancefloor System 19 - 04 - 23

I was telling DJ Michael Rackley that I wanted to make a Pride Month mix - but that somehow I wanted to put a new spin on the concept, a new twist. 

From that vague thought and him hearing me out, a week later, I have a new mix.

It starts with a few clouds, but by the third track, they blow away and the sun comes out.  I think it is a fundamentally happy mix to help you celebrate this month.

---- 

I'm not sure I can precisely define "pride", but I know that being free is part of it - the knowledge of who you are, the courage and space to express it, as well as the confidence to allow and support others in their freedom.

This mix is about freedom.  It starts with struggling to be free.  From there, we deal with having to let another be free, and then wishing for freedom.  The mood moves up to feeling free, pleading for freedom, and then appreciating it; and rises again to revel in it. It ends with the ultimate - the freedom to spread our wings and take flight.

May you all have the insight and courage this Pride Month to be who you truly are.

This mix is dedicated to Michael Rackley for his friendship, and his support in my learning the craft.

Free - A Pride 2023 Mix - Happy Vocal House/Dance

Ever feel a little badass?  If not, do you want to?

In support of your badassery (is that even a word?), I have a classics-heavy November mix.  

The world is complicated right now, and the days are getting longer in the northern hemisphere. If you are feeling a little down...consider this a musical prescription to boost your mood 🙂.

There's a lot going on in this mix - some energetic house, some vocal dance, and a fair dose of electro-pop.  (Of note is a 2023 remaster of the JRMX Club Mix of Jessica Sutta's 2013 hit, 'Again' - too good to be forgotten!).  The focus here was the theme rather than new tracks.  Hope it hangs together!

My wish for all of this month is that we embrace our inner badass - not the sort that places us above others, but rather just confidence in knowing our strengths and weaknesses.  (It's ok. Really!)

Invincible - Happy Vocal Dance / Electro-Pop

A happy and uplifting mix for Pride 2024! 

I've got classics as well as new tracks, all focussed on celebration and being the best we can be.

----

Have you ever told someone "you can do it!"?

Or maybe "you got this!"? 

And you aren't just being nice -  because you know them, you *know* it's true.

You have faith in them.

My Pride mix last year revolved around being free - that freedom to express ourselves, to be ourselves, is an essential component of pride.

This year's mix explores another aspect of Pride: faith.

Whether you call it belief, or trust, or faith, it is also an essential component of pride.  

I know the challenges in my life would have been difficult or impossible to overcome without the faith that my close friends and husband have shown in me.

In countless ways, faith not only sustains our relationships, but also our community, and gives us hope and optimism for the future.  It enables us to not only survive, but to thrive in the face of uncertainty and adversity.

This mix is dedicated to my husband, Dave, who has always shown faith in me.

So my wish for all of you this Pride is this: may you always have all the faith you need from others, exactly when you need it.

Peace, love, joy.

Faith - A Pride 2024 Mix - Happy Vocal House/Dance

This is my September House and NuDisco Mix!

Once I got done, I noticed that I started off with the idea of feeling trapped; and then the last four tracks flip this script, and revolve around asserting oneself in various ways. 

In particular, the 11th track is an excellent remake of the 1966 Sergio Mendez hit, "Mas Que Nada" - literally "more than anything", but actually a Brazilian idiom meaning something like, "No way!" or “Oh, come on now!” :-)

Beijos e abraços (xoxoxoxo)

Part 2 of my set at Flagging In The Desert, benefitting the Palm Springs AIDS Memorial!
(Palm Springs, California - March 1st, 2025)

If you haven't been, it is an amazing event - the mountains, the sun, and of course the flaggers, which were so appreciative and supportive!!

Of note in Part 2 is an almost-mashup I made of the My Marianne version of "Husavik", and the [Avicii/Leona Lewis] track "Collide".  Previously I've given My Marianne and Leona Lewis a brief duet, with happy results (they are both Cahill remixes in the same key).

But just for Flagging In The Desert, I decided to make something special - I've given them four duets - two foreshadowing the upcoming "Collide", one for the transition, and one last, lingering echo of "My Hometown..." at the end of "Collide".  Now I just need to get them to do it live! :-)

Another happy and uplifting mix for Pride 2025! 

I've included new tracks as well as some remixes I love of the classics.  I hope this mix lifts your hearts and brings you joy during this Pride season.

Part of Pride is rising above the situations that challenge us: with courage, calm, determination, tolerance, inclusiveness, and love.

With a vision of something different and better.

And, of course, with joy.

So my wish for all of you this Pride is this: may you always have the courage to rise above your situation, exactly when you need it.

San Francisco-based DJ and producer.

My biggest love is happy, t-dance vocals, but I also play all sorts of house - funky, organic, progressive and deep.  I live in San Francisco, and I love my city immensely - the land, the buildings, the people, the music, and the art!  I also dye silk dance flags, and have been known to flag dance now and again.  

If you'd prefer a WAV of any of my remixes, just send me a message!
