Pervert Orgullo 2019 x Chrissy [Super Rhythm Trax, SF]

I took a week to let it all sink in. 

Nights like this are the reason I do what I do. It’s amazing how the simple act of playing music can create so much joy, and I am so grateful that I can play a role in bringing joy to our community and to the world. I felt the glow of this experience for days afterwards, and I access it again every time I listen to this recording. (As a DJ, there’s honestly nothing more gratifying than when I listen to the recording and I can hear the crowd’s ecstatic yelling and screaming coming through the needle.)

The Gay Nineties is not about being “cool.” It’s not even about always playing songs that are “good” (hat tip to Venus X for that wake-up call). What it’s about is having fun! It doesn’t matter whether every transition is perfect. (Playing vinyl for 5 hours means you have to let go of any expectation of perfection.) What matters is building and sustaining a vibe that creates that joyful, communal experience on the dance floor.

The first Gay Nineties was in August 2017 in a little izakaya and about a dozen people came out for it. Now I get to throw this party in my favorite club in Portland, and over 200 people came through the doors. 

I am truly grateful to everyone who showed up in the room that night at the Liquor Store. (Every time I DJ I am grateful for the immense privilege of playing music for people who enjoy dancing to it.) And I’m grateful to everyone who couldn’t make it but sent their love and support from afar. 

I especially want to thank Patrick Schneider https://soundcloud.com/woodboxcreative for his incredible support. Patrick knows exactly what I’m aiming for with the Gay Nineties. Not only does he offer invaluable assistance with setting things up and creating the right atmosphere, he also acts as my eyes and years in the crowd, feeding me insights about the vibe that I can’t always see from behind the DJ booth. 

I want to thank my fellow DJs from https://soundcloud.com/no-fomo-pdx and Circuit Breaker who helped me promote the event. I love working with these beautiful souls to create amazing parties in Portland every month! Thank you Megan https://soundcloud.com/sappho-presents-chingo, Stormy https://soundcloud.com/stormyroxx, Spenser https://soundcloud.com/orsosound, and Travis https://soundcloud.com/dj_dont. 

I want to give a huge shout-out to Dee Lyrium and Tofu who danced their hearts out all night long, right at the front of the room, leading the crowd along into ecstasy. I also want to thank Cody James, Chris, Rob, Jermiah, Andy, and everyone else who supported the party on social media (sorry if I missed you here!). 

Thank you to my friends Kenton Waltz and Pocho’s Cosas for taking beautiful photographs of the night!

I want to thank the venue's bar staff and sound tech for being so supportive of queer nightlife in Portland.

Thank you Ryan https://soundcloud.com/laterdj for the awesome event flyer! 

I want to give a special thank you to https://soundcloud.com/nark for inviting me to share my ‘90s vinyl at Be My Lover in Seattle, which is currently on hiatus but had an awesome run from fall 2018 into spring 2019. 

I want to thank all the DJs who inspire me. In particular, I want to thank https://soundcloud.com/octoocta. Her sets are inspiring in every way, and several of the tracks I played on this night were discovered from her mixes. I also want to thank Théo Muller https://soundcloud.com/theomuller from whom I sourced two key songs that I played in this set. 

I want to thank everyone who has supported me, from my family to my lovers. Many of the records I played were gifts from people who have enabled me to develop my DJ skills over the years. 

Saving the best for last, I want to thank Doug who has done more than anyone else to support my heart and soul, ever since that very first Gay Nineties night back in 2017. 

Count how many songs in this mix talk about love. That’s what it’s all about.
