DS Soundbaths

When I stumbled into Camp Conception's dance party during the haze of Burning Man 2012, I was completely blown away.  I was 25, I still had more than two brain cells, and it was my first time on the playa. I'd never been to a rave, and my idea of a gay dance party was remixes of top 40 songs at neighborhood gay bars.

Meeting @djSpaceOtter there was one of many first times for me at Burning Man. Another first was the music — I'd never heard anything like it before. When I looked up at the DJ booth, pupils dilated, I thought to myself, “This is it.  This is what I’ve been searching for.”


This mix based on an unrecorded live closing set in January 2020 from “Dawn - A Blacklight Sunrise,” a Camp Conception Burning Man fundraiser at the Monkey Loft, Seattle.

DSMIX_16 spaceotter's First Chakra Reopener

Once upon a time, I slid a giant slide and found myself in the gaping hole of a giant mechanical sheep, lit properly with black and neon lighting. Its stomach was lined with pink faux fur and its visceral organs were made of disco balls held together by electric nylon. It was there that I met DJ Beya. @bbellayuto

Beya is a cofounder of one of San Francisco's most notable queer nightlife organizations, appropriately named @polyglamorous-club. Their parties (which are always ripe with incredible talent from San Francisco and beyond) include Sneaks, held on Dore weekend, and New Breed, held on Folsom weekend. If you're planning a trip to SF, you'd be wise to to check Polyglamorous' party schedule.

DSMIX_17 DJ BEYA’s Pink Neon Mix

@StrikeStone delivers serious heat with nearly two hours of everything from ecstatic rave, lush house, and a tear jerker finale. This mix was made with queers that we have lost and this mix is a party to remember the good times with those we miss.

Double Scorpio has donated $1000 to the Trevor project, an organization providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to the LGBTQ community since 1998.

DSMIX_18 StrikeStone! HI! HOW R U? Mix

From the throat of Lemz,
“Hey Handsomes! Double Scorpio kindly asked me to make y'all a mix and not gonna lie, I've been psyching myself out on it. After endlessly deliberating what to give it hit me - let's just have some fun, yeah? I took some of my recent favorites, recruited a few tunes from friends, and threw in some of my own edits and originals. Recorded in one shot, one try - flaws and alI. Now come visit DC and let's crack open a cold bottle of DS together. Hope you’re gagged!”

Be it an abandoned women's prison, a former wheat-processing factory, or an enormous parking superstructure, no Brutalist building is safe from transformation into a sanctified queer dancefloor.

DSMIX_20 Kodemul - Los Finisterre Mix

Here comes a very special recording from the Afterglow tent at Comfort & Joy. Following a naked bike ride was an anything goes party with CBass (@cbasstx) and @Mouthfeel. Despite the challenges of DJing in the middle of a tent off in the middle of a desert, these two laid down a fierce set.
Imagine 200 bodies colliding into each other for some serious lust in the dust.
How many SoundCloud mixes come with a load count?? 
Take a some deep whiffs and sink into over two hours of wall to wall pleasure in this very special live recording. 
Thanks Comfort & Joy (@playajoy) for having us.

Mix by @Danielito_sf
Whether you're embarking on a journey towards new romantic adventures, getting road head, or simply immersing in the joy of the open road, this mix provides the perfect soundtrack to enhance your travels.

DSMIX_23 Danielito - Loads on the road mix

“It’s 1:13 AM. You made some acquaintances at the showers then head to the spa and get to know one another better…” 

To ease you further  into the night is a mix from one of our all time favorite DJs- Will Automagic (@djwillautomagic) .  Raised in our native Austin, Texas but made a break for New York when he was 18, we’ve always had a kinship with Ms. Automagic. He has become one of the most revered DJs in New York as part of the Carry Nation but is a fierce DJ and producer in his own right.  Over the next hour he keeps the pacing slow but the energy level high.  Lather yourself in this lusty mix of heart quicking synths and stuttering percussion to prepare yourself for whatever may come your way.

DS SoundBaths- Will Automagic

To kick off the Double Scorpio Sound Bath series is our sister from the south, @Bouffant-Bouffant. 
She brings the right mix of seduction and party starters to kick off our journey into the night.  In his own words "I pulled some classics for this, some slithery percussion, some gay cruisy icons, some yearning for women vocals to open up the gender for a new age of bathhouse... all our friends smiling with raging hard ons in white towels, our trans-femme girls titties out, and non-gendered pals twirling for the gods, our masc bros making the moves around every corner. I'm so proud of the legacy and creative tapestry of faggotry we continue to weave together."

DS Sound Baths- Bouffant Bouffant

CarrieOnDisco provides us with a proper Sleaze mix to bring us into the morning hours. Carrie is a beloved DJ hailing from England but has been turning the party in San Francisco (and around the country) for years. For the uninitiated, Sleaze or “morning music” is a style of DJing  perfected in New York, SF, and Fire Island that features slower, lilting tunes with romantic lyrics that act as an encore to a night of nonstop dancing. Carrie crafts a nearly four hour masterclass in the slower side of disco, soul, and psychedelia that eases us from night into day. Whether this music is the perfect come down before bed or the soundtrack for a new lover you brought home for Sunday service, Carrie delivers a powerhouse finale to our night at the Sound Baths.

DS Soundbaths - CarrieOnDisco

You know that old saying: A butthole is like a studio apartment, a pussy is like a topiary-garden maze. Oh, you aren’t familiar with it?  Well, it's an apt descriptor for the fourth mix in our series where DJ Lisa Frank guides us into the deepest recesses of the DS Sound Baths.  This mix is filled with plot twists and sharp left turns and an unexpected musique concréte element that will have your towels falling off.  Whatever position you’re in now, you’re going to be flipped upside down five minutes later.  Don’t try to guess the next move, just surrender.

Prepare yourself for something special with an original composition created by coatshek. A hypnotic, continuous music piece created just for the Sound Baths, @coatshek aka Sheki, layers synths, drum machines, and live guitar playing to whip the crowd into a frenzy. Once upon a time (the 1970s) bathhouses were more than just a place to hook up. Some had discos, full gyms, restaurants, the works. As some of you may know, Bette Midler got her start in the cabaret room at the Continental Baths with Barry Manilow playing piano for her. Sheki, quite a sturdy and hirsute block of man, may not be considered the natural successor to the Divine Ms. M, but he certainly brings a new dimension to the bathhouse with this live set that is engineered to take you into sensory overload.

DS SoundBaths - Coatshek

Hailing from the Windy City, meet Harry Cross –  
Resident DJ at Steamworks Chicago, definitely the reigning Queen of Slings. Creator of the legendary Witch Finger party, Harry's resume is extensive and impressive.

In this epic bathhouse series finale, Harry drops a mix that captures the vibe of the first half of a legendary 6-hour set, recorded live at Steamworks Bath House in Chicago. The DJ booth overlooks the locker room and the steam room entrance, so it's usually chill – but not on this night. Shows upon shows were breaking out everywhere, love was in the air, and exchanges of all kinds were made.

This mix has been budussy tested and pillow biter approved. Buckle up, grab on to your towel, and enjoy the ride.

DS Soundbaths - Harry Cross

Mix by @deepcreep88
We kick off the series with our longtime partner in crime DEEP CREEP. In the infancy of Double Scorpio, our weekends were spent raging at deep creep’s infamous parties where she would take over a family-owned tamale restaurant and turn it into the rave dungeon of our dreams — with both the smoke and margarita machines running at maximum strength. Deep Creep has relocated to New York where she continues to throw raves, curates the venerable πππ 
podcast series, and has a residency on the Lot Radio. Her mix is dreamy, propulsive, and occasionally menacing — the perfect soundtrack for losing your mind in a cramped apartment.

DSMIX_01  deep creep's Soul Seduction Mix

This mix comes courtesy of one of our resident DJs and regular collaborators, @DylanReece. Dylan is a Texas native who co-produces our raves and designs our bottle packaging. Most importantly though, he is a super fierce DJ that has been slaying Austin for years and recently venues around the country.

For this mix Mr. Reece gives you Stevie Nicks on acid... house. Recorded in his home studio with candles ablaze and Palo Santo burning, Dylan gives us nearly an hour and a half of music, riding tides of anxiety and release. This is one is for all the apartment bound witches out there. Tracklist below :

Double Scorpio Mix Series

DSMIX_02  Dylan Reece - Paranoid Palo Santo Mix

He will be your preacher, teacher, or emergency contact... anything you have in mind! Our next selector is the one and only @The-Father-Figure. He has redefined what it means to be bi-coastal by holding it down in the bayou with his New Orleans based krewe, TRAX ONLY, and for the last 13 years bringing you fog, sweat, and tears with one of the country’s longest running queer raves FAGBASH hosting a beyond impressive roster of America’s queer dance talent. He has helped put New Orleans on the map as a dance music destination with a variety of illegal raves in crumbling warehouses across the city. Now take a deep whiff of this hour long mix of raw psychedelic funk and disco.  
TIP YOUR DADDY!!! Venmo: @FFigure

DSMIX_03  Father Figure - Huff Um if You Got Um Mix

This mix comes from our good friend @Orographic - everyone’s favorite Portland based forest ranger turned DJ. With this sprawling two and a half hour mix he explores wild landscapes of dub, funk, house and ambient that stretch to the horizon. The last time we were able to throw a party, Orographic played to five hundred people packed into a CrossFit gym turned freak out zone and we miss that moment more than ever. This mix is helping us dream of brighter days.

DSMIX_04  Orographic’s Waking With The Bees Mix

Next in the Double Scorpio series is our Nicaraguan sister @kathikniess. If gay men had their own version of Tigerbeat, Kathi would surely grace the inaugural cover. She is the closest the queer house music scene has to JTT. 

Originally from Berlin, Kathi lived and DJ'd in New Orleans with Trax Only for many years, before moving to the West Coast, where she's currently living her L.A. dream. She loves the rave and misses it dearly. 

This mix invites you to take a moment to feel it all: curious, anxious, horny, pensive, sad, amped, manic, chill... Whatever your senses are gravitating towards, accept that energy and roll with it. Best paired with DS, sativa, and self-love.

Kathi will be donating 50% of her venmo tips to SWOP (Sex Workers Outreach Project - USA)

DSMIX_05  Kathi's Slow Whiffs Mix

@ChorizoFunk’s The Other Brown Meat mix is a collection of smoke signals yearning for carnal connection. We’re all locked up in our bedrooms and this mix is about the new ways we can explore our moments within those walls.  Chorizo Funk is a native Texan and was recently named best DJ at the Austin Music Awards. Typically known for rowdy sets that bounce between hip-hop, reggaeton, and boogie, he has spent the last year exploring the seedier side of house. His omnivorous tastes are represented throughout.

DSMIX_06 Chorizo Funk - The Other Brown Meat Mix

A couple weeks before the planet hit the pause button we got to have one glorious night losing our shit in a former wheat factory in Mexico City for the BackdoorXL festival. In one of the side rooms @keenanorrdc stole the show with some of the hardest hitting house we have ever felt. The room was electric and the walls were literally dripping with sweat. The vibe was horny. So we’re very happy to have Ms. Orr bring some of that energy to our podcast series with the latest entry that reminds us that house is where our home is.

DSMIX_07  Keenan Orr - Face Down Mix

In this pandemic it’s important to put your health first, so we’ve enlisted a medical expert to look after you. Our next mix is from Dr. Beard ( @steven-hutto-908827551 ), an Austin Texas based DJ and real-life physician. He’s known for his bedside manner, in and out of the hospital room, and provides a pounding mix to make sure your body is well taken care of. Trust, you’re in good hands.

Our next mix comes from @Mouthfeel with a hot 45 minutes of drama, emotion and a special message from problematic fave Azealia Banks.  Mouthfeel has been with us since the genesis of Double Scorpio when we were a humble living room operation. He's been the voice of this clandestine organization and will probably be writing our exposé docu-series Breaking Bottom. Ryan Murphy are you listening?

DSMIX_10  Mouthfeel - Guns, God, and Gilead

In all this time away from nightlife it’s been bittersweet listening to traditional dance mixes, getting revved up with nowhere to go. I thought I’d take this time to deep dive into the music of a culture I adore and put together this mixtape of classic Japanese disco, pysch-jams, early techno and more with a dash of cult classic covered in Cantonese to help keep the sunshine and happiness flowing into fall ❤️ - @nark

DSMIX_11  Nark 日本の ディスコ Double Scorpio Mix (╹◡╹）

Our next entry comes from Canadian cutie Aeryn Pfaff (@djaerynpfaff).  He’s worked out dance floors from Vancouver to Montreal and is an organizer of the alternative pride festival Toronto Pride Weekend.  Over the pandemic he also played the internet-breaking Club Quarantine. This bitchy mix proves Canadians aren’t the polite type and are capable of unspeakable acts of dancefloor nastiness.

DSMIX_12  Aeryn Pfaff's Canadian Bacon Mix

What’s the worst case of blue-balls you’ve ever had? Originally booked for our (tragically canceled) 2020 SXSW Party, our fellow southern sister MarceauxMarceaux is back to give us the release we’ve been begging for all year. This gal brings the Memphis heat every single time he plays. When he’s not at the club, he is in his studio making head-spinning tracks that make all the Judys jizz. Serving slinky, skunky nuggets as @MarceauxMarceaux, irreverent wonky techno as DJ Judy, and reckless rave breaks as Z72.52, this dj skips the foreplay and gets right down to business.

DSMIX_13  MarceauxMarceaux's 4AM Kai Kai

When I first met San Fransisco queen and L.A. legend @djSindri, he was in full face and wearing a clown gown. Six years later, not much has changed (just kidding, he’s a hot bear now). Sindri’s main gig is being an internationally-recognized celebrity night school teacher, where he specializes in teaching queers how to speak Italo. If you missed class, then this mix is the perfect crash course. Sindri's syllabus is just what you need to prepare for your first summer rave.

DSMIX_15 Sindri's Libra/Scorpio Compatibility Mix

We first heard about Tennessee-born, Atlanta-based artist @Nikki-Nair from our gals over at Muy Muy Limited and on a Sauna Memphis livestream. Since then, it has been a constant gag. As in can’t come up for air, face-is-turning-blue, fully gagged gag. He has been on fire in the last year, dropping a string of stand-out releases on Barely Legal’s Pretty Weird label, Claude VonStroke’s Dirtybird, Muy Muy Limited and Scuffed, among many others. Luckily for us, his mixing skills are as good and varied as his productions, and he has turned in almost 2 hours of chunky-chic sunshine rhythms that hit that special spot, just in time for Spring.
