So here's a mix with a story! Back in June, I opened the Hit Me Up party at House of X and I brought my laptop along to record the set. It was dark, groovy and weird, but people really seemed to like it and I was excited to share it with everyone. Then, when I left the party I had so much stuff with me that I forgot my bag with my laptop in it! 😳 I tried several times to check and get it back, but the club told me no one had found it or turned it in... I had given up on recovering my laptop and the mix with it (and a bunch of other stuff in the bag).

Fast forward nearly two months later, HoX sadly shut its doors and everything got packed and brought to House of Yes. The manager, Jess, found my bag and charged my laptop and then found me on Instagram to ask if I had lost my laptop. I just got it back last night and first thing I did was find this mix to upload it.

HUGE HUGE THANK YOU to Jess and the @houseofyesnyc crew! I'm so pleased to have my laptop back and to share this with you all!

From the cheers and applause at the end of her set and the conversations we’ve had with folks since, we know that @shannon1dj made fans of many of you last December at our final party @good-life-boston. Through her command of the decks, you learned about her skill and style. We wanted to bring you more Shannon, her stories and her journey to crafting a life around music.

Shannon is a dance floor professional. She builds dance floors; she’s started parties here and in China, where she lived for five years, even opened a club abroad. She shares the dance floor, using radio to open conversations about club culture. And she is a *really* good, dance floor–shaking DJ. Shannon lives for the funk, she dies for the funk. And she takes the funk very seriously.

Another day flying through space. Playing in tribute to the Loft, David Mancuso, Junior Vasquez, David Morales, Sound Factory and some other NYC dance music I’ve been into lately. Shoutout to A1 for the Bad yard club vinyl that inspired this set.

"To me, this mix feels like being in the midst of a psychedelic thunderstorm. At times, it feels like the sky is about to fall and the earth is about to crack open, but it comes and goes in cycles. There are moments that seem to suddenly spit you out into a cerebral fog, and as the clouds break, you're in awe of yourself & your capacity for existence. Sub-bass frequencies roll through like thunder claps, stirring up innate, carnal energy. Syncopated, twisted, ethereal rhythms encourage you to completely lose yourself. I wanted to capture the feeling of moving through moments of intensity and coming out on the other side, feeling relief while still preparing to ride the next wave."

Mx. Blaire is drawn to the magic that’s released when humans convene together. Organizing events in Boston, she strives to curate environments where folks can release their inhibitions for true self-expression and encourage celebration of radical love. She is an organizer and one of the resident DJs of the Queer dance collective, Boudoir.

They like to float through multiple genres during any given set and find joy moving through different sonic textures while keeping a fluid groove. They let their emotions flow through in sets to open up a conversation with listeners and dancers alike. A humble guide for helping healing bass tones and rejuvenating frequencies pass through speakers.

MORENXXX @ Sustain Release Year 9

PEAKS & VALLEYS is my final all vinyl session on my turntables of nearly a 1/4 of a decade, recorded on May 28, 2024, in the last 72 hours of my home of 11 years that I recently lost in Brooklyn, New York. Mastered in Tampa and Orlando, Florida off and on throughout June of 2024. 

Not to be confused with my last time selecting or playing records, just the next level and evolution of my craft. To begin utilizing decks that allow for a much wider range of control for flexing tempos of all genres when playing, as this mix sat around -6/-7 on the pitch control on my former turntables now passed on to a beloved.

PEAKS & VALLEYS (ALL VINYL AFFAIR)

If you haven’t had the chance to catch Beige behind the decks, you’d be advised to hurry up. Having torched the dancefloor regularly and thoroughly wherever they’ve touched down, from NYC’s Sublimate to their monthly Chaotic Neutral party, it’s clear that the Detroit resident has big things coming, including sets upcoming at Gays Hate Techno, Jack Dept in NYC, Toronto's On Earth, and of course the late hours of the Movement Weekend afterparties.  For their Sweat Mix, they show exactly why, filling an hour with tripped-out house cuts, prickly percussion tracks, and one VERY BEIGE vocal sample.  Dip in to this one and enjoy.
