@Hewanaman about the mix: "What is reality? Is reality what we're seeing with our brain, or is reality what we're seeing with our eyes ?" I approached this mix as a journey into a reverie, an altered state of consciousness, between a dream and a voyage. Creating a feeling of disconnection, and a sense of travel into another stimulating dimension. With voices coming here to guide you through the trip.

Based in Paris, Hewan Aman distills trance, psy and dub inspirations into her mixes, infused with both her Franco-Ethiopian heritage and rave and techno culture. Through her selections, she works on meticulous and singular narrations that combine granular soundscapes with captivating grooves. Patchworks that at times resonate as strong fast-paced vibes and other times slower, and more experimental atmospheres.

“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.

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."

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.

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.

For the 19th entry in the Honcho Podcast Series, we welcome our friends Will Automagic & Nita Aviance aka The Carry Nation. For years they have been a staple of the gay underground in New York City. Not only are they fabulous DJs but have built an impressive catalog of their own production and remixes on labels such as Get Up Recordings, TRIBAL Records, and HNYTRX/Cocktail D’ Amore!

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_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)
