Deezy (@deezys) is an Arab-American DJ based in San Francisco and one of the co-founders of QUICHE, a party series that provides stages to emerging and established queer DJ’s. Influenced by his upbringing in Detroit, he’s developed a decade-long obsession for collecting and curating a wide range of dance music that reflects his passion for the history of the craft. This mix presents a selection of timeless house cuts that reflect on the urgency of the dance floor to “let your body be free”, a sentiment all too important in our current political moment.

Episode 62 w/Deezy

@deezys at Hemlock Hole on Friday afternoon.

“A very special thanks to the Honcho crew for this year’s Campout and for letting me share this set. This was the 4th Honcho Campout I attended and I can’t count the number of times a DJ or artist has made me lose it in the best way at Hemlock Hole. So getting a chance to play a daytime set there was really exciting but daunting. I played this set on day 314 of the genocide in Palestine. As a Palestinian in this current moment, trying to find a voice or create moods in music has felt beyond heavy. Is this a time for moments of joy? For dancing? What does it look like to participate in a dance floor when the world in this moment seems utterly unjust? 

I honestly wasn’t quite sure how to tackle this set. So after a lot of overthinking, I stepped back and poured over nearly all of my records over the course of 5 months. I picked ones that have kept me going this past year, many of which I had never played out before. These records, I hope, highlight the beauty of dance music, the resistance heard in the especially black, brown and queer artists who shape this music, and the importance of participating in a space that feels urgent and irrevocable to the queer community. As I played this set, I wore the words of Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish, who reminds us: “And we love life if we find a way to it. We dance between the martyrs and raise a minaret for violet and palm trees.” Free Palestine.”
