Born and raised in Atlanta, Vicki Powell got her first DJ gig at age 13, spinning records at a local roller skating rink, and hasn’t stopped since. With 30+ years of experience, Powell is revered in underground dance spaces across the world for her incredibly infectious enthusiasm and energy, which is palpable in her addictive sets, her personality behind the decks, and her lifelong efforts to build unforgettable queer party spaces. With Powell’s penchant for driving basslines and an astounding ability to connect with crowds, her audiences are at her command. 

In Atlanta, Powell reigns supreme at some of the city’s most respected nightspots, and is a celebrated underground figure, famous for her monthly dance parties, Sunday Service and DEEP SOUTH (@deepsouthatl). She commands summer crowds at her residency at Mark Louque's F^G B^SH in Provincetown, MA, and as a former NYC resident, is helping to bring post-pandemic New York nightlife back to life with a roar. A founding DJ of Holy Rollers, one of Brooklyn’s hottest new parties for queer women, and resident at Black Flamingo in Brooklyn, NY, Atlanta-based Powell knows no physical limits when it comes to creating incredible moments and community through music.

"I called this mix Joyride because it brought out some much needed joy to make and felt so good to be doing mixes again."

Notes on the Mix ///

"This mix was directly inspired by a warehouse party i played recently in Brooklyn with Eli [Escobar] called 'Relativity' hosted by The Electrik Company. (We didn't record, but my track history was saved and i went back into the studio a few days later to recreate the magic once more for XOXA.) I got to play an extended set for a packed house that night and the energy literally was electric! It was awesome to have that back n forth with the crowd throughout. I crept up through some really seductive downtempo Techno and House at the beginning, up to harder and more hypnotic joints that i had a lot of fun layering and fkin around with, and then came in with a Disco curve ball at the end to re-energize the room and reset for Eli comin on after me. I really like to ride blends for a long time and make two records sing together - to the point where you don't know where one ends and the next begins. Making different tracks have conversations with one another is always something i like to explore during my sets no matter where or when i'm playing. I imagine each record as a fully formed being with their own defined personalities - how would they get into it with each other if they were to meet at a party? Would they fall in love? Heatedly argue with each other? Would it be a sparring of intellect over a hot topic? I wish I could see the looks on your faces when you listen to this and hear the resulting chorus of every record i played. Njoy <3"

“My latest mix for Deep South takes you into a wormhole of acid, groove, and jazz. Opening with my signature intergalactic minimal sound, it then traverses into heady moods and peak-time energies, before settling back in with the familiar. This mix opens a portal into a dance floor on the other side of the universe, where neo-tribal rhythms rattle through wriggling bodies. Grab a drink with the machine elves and see you on the other side!

Sending lots of gratitude to Vicki Powell and the entire Deep South crew for inviting me to contribute to this iconic mix series.”

More about Chuck:

San Francisco transplant by-way of Los Angeles, Chuck Gunn is a co-founder and resident of QAOTIQ, a queer rave based in California's Bay Area that aims to uplift and champion BIPOC/Trans artists. His fresh and spacey take on house and techno is shaped by the acid, dub and microhouse movements that grew out of 90's minimal techno. Chuck moves through various textures, from rugged terrain, spaced out atmospheres, dub rhythms, all balled up in a bounce & grace that smacks the dance floor again and again, relentless you might say. For many this kind of built pressure can take decades in the DJ booth to develop. Gunn's range and skill can hold down any underground dance floor and it's obvious that we're not the only ones that have taken notice as Chuck plays up and down the West Coast at clubs & festivals alike.

Juanita's Mix 007 with Dee Diggs @dee_diggs

Q. How would you describe yourself?
A. I’m a DJ, a black queer woman, and a music lover. My DJ bio central theme is ‘a selectress with no inhibitions’ because if a song makes me feel something specific then I will play it for other people to see if it elicits the same feeling in them. I seek to keep everything I do playful yet intentional.

Q. How long have you been involved in the NY music scene?
A. I’ve been performing in NYC as a DJ since the spring of 2018 and moved here in the fall of that year. So it’s been 1 year and 9 months of being based here. I always had a hunch I’d enjoy living in Brooklyn and I do.

Q. Tell us a little bit about this mix.
A. This mix has a lot of nostalgic sounds and emotional vocal tracks on it.  It’s a very warm and personal mix. It’s a mix of voices and sounds for those who find themselves feeling lonely or trapped during this quarantine. This is the kind of music I would play for me and a good friend chilling at my home: tribal rhythms, soundscapes, 90’s boom bap, funk, and tributes to legends like Pharoah Sanders & Manu Dibango. I feel it conjures up a very groovy loving place to go to in your mind. Somewhere you can set your worries down & boogie.
