Liara's Live Sets & Mixes

Mix Title: "Heaven is a Place on Earth" 
From Long Beach, CA, many of Zilana's mixes highlight latin tones. Her signature sounds are wild and fast Techno beats with shocking transitions.

"I start the mix off with one of my favorite 80s song 'Heaven Is A Place On Earth' and then we transition to dance music inspired by the nightlife in Miami during Art Basel."

Liara has been a kickass member of Femmedecks since May '21. She has played countless live shows with us, but this is her first digital debut as a part of the Femmedecks team.

"Electro is my bread and butter as anyone who listens to me for long should know. I break the mold however with this mix by being less focused on hypnotic acid lines and more focused on bright synths with a lot of arpeggiation. When you hear music from older sci-fi movies, synths are often what the composer felt the future would be, and this mix hits hard on the sense of futurism. It still retains a lot of the heavier, darker, and tension filled elements I’m known for, but holds a certain hopefulness. A hopefulness that I believe we all share for this coming year."

"This mix in particular is very special to me because it combines tracks from the first two sets I've ever played out- the support I received pushed me to continue to pursue this passion. I have never experienced such a loving community and I'm grateful every day for it. I've been meaning to create a tribute mix to these sets for quite a bit of time and I'm so excited that I get to release it on Femmedecks- thank you for including me in the mix series and I hope you enjoy listening to it"

Dedicated to all those who said "no", but were not listened to. Dedicated to all those whose exclamations were not heard or believed by our mentally ill society. Dedicated to all those who are standing firmly on their feet today, despite society's rejection. Their pain will be remembered forever, although we may never know. Dedicated to all those who have done the unimaginable in the face of this. Despite the past, they radiate love and strength from their eyes. We believe! We understand! We are the necessary condition to change the world for the better.

"There's something special about a live set. For my Femmedecks mix, I am super excited to share the recording of my first ever Boiler Room set, played live in Boston for a Labor Day Weekender collab with Boudoir and Infra Boston. This event wasn't streamed but I brought my recorder with me and let it rip! The vast majority of my selections are records I picked up during travels across the US and in Europe this summer; lots of new faves in here across the spectrum of techno, hard house, and rave. Enjoy!"

Hailing from Charlotte, North Carolina, Rose Kourts is a Brooklyn-based DJ ablaze in the New York underground and beyond.

"This mix is a love letter to the emotion-driven, vulnerable, and melancholy side of my sound -- one I have not tapped into for quite some time-- in the form of weightless jungle and ambient. Through the process of creating this mix, I wished to reconnect with myself as an artist at this moment without the influence of a dance-floor, tuning into the self-reflective spirit of the winter."

The Bay Area dance music scene formed Eugenia's roots as a DJ, where she cut her teeth playing underground clubs and organizing DIY raves. Her energetic mixing style can be defined as bright, tender, and highly dynamic, jumping across many genres of dance music wrapped in a lush atmosphere -- always with her signature touch of sass. While Eugenia grew up between the Bay Area and northern Italy, she is currently based in Boston where she plays with local queer collective Enter the Boudoir. Fresh from her sets at HOR Berlin, Fast at Work in Los Angeles, Boiler Room in Boston, and Sound Gymnastics in Brooklyn, she continues to blossom further and curate her own sound. 

Outside of performing, Eugenia is a practicing poet and host of a genre-non conforming, ambient-inspired mix series called "The Shape of Memory," as a part of experimental label Ghunghru, where she asks each artist to express a memory through the arc of a mix. The spirit of this series is to re-imagine memory as a breathing, living being, one that influences our feelings and sense of self.

"A mostly vinyl mix in effort to highlight the Deep House/US Garage style of House Music and the artist and labels who pioneered the sound. The term Garage most commonly associated with UK Garage is actually rooted in New York’s Paradise Garage and was a marketing term created to distinguish NY/NJ House from the sounds coming out of Chicago and Detroit. Swung beats, pretty chords and huge diva vocals were common elements of a NY/NJ House track. More rooted in Jazz, Soul and R&B than the edgy futuristic sounds of Chicago and Detroit. Producers like Masters at Work, Mood II Swing and Kerri Chandler were some at the forefront of the sound as well as unsung heroes like Blaze or Victor Simonelli. New York had a strong independent record label culture that goes back to the disco era of the 70s. Before the advent of the digital era and the devaluation of music, independent record labels were able to thrive. Strictly Rhythm, Nervous, Kult and Eight Ball records were among the many labels pushing the NY/NJ sound. 90s New York and New Jersey club music were inseparable up until the BMORE influenced Jersey Club sounds of the 2000’s.

New York and New Jersey have such a rich history of Club Culture and Dance/Electronic Music. It’s unfortunate how little education there is on the topic. Yes, House Music was pioneered in Chicago but New York and New Jersey have always had their own thing going on and played a huge role in the development of the genre and culture. This style/era of house could not possibly be encapsulated in a 1 hour mix but these are some of my favorite tracks that I’ve collected over the years."  

DONIS pronounced (DAH-NIS) is a Dominican American DJ/Producer born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Their style is rooted in their city’s rich club culture history, often paying homage to the sounds of New York’s golden era. Equally versed in playing contemporary styles of club music as well, they mix US regional styles with Afro Latin/Caribbean sounds like Dembow and Afro House. They have become well known in the underground scene playing parties for Papi Juice, Boiler Room, Dweller Festival and regularly playing at local venues like Lebain, Elsewhere and Paragon. They recently worked as Music Supervisor for Head of State’s FW23 fashion show, scored 2 ads for Telfar and have been shelling their residency at renowned club Nowadays.

"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."

18May24 - Liara - Afterglow

I had an amazing time this weekend in Minneapolis for a super fun event, The Ninth Gate. It was a goth night with the theme of opening the nine gates of hell under the guise of a vampire masquerade. The visuals were stunning, and the dance floor had an awesome energy. It was wonderful being able to share with a scene I usually don't play much for (the goth/industrial/ibm scene) a bit of my own magic and some of the underground.

XC-17 f.k.a. Stephani Alona (PITTSBURGH, PA) is an event planner and community activist. Her activism began with youth programming for Sisters PGH and other protest actions. Through her community work she began DJing, meeting people who encouraged her to step into music.

Her love for music started long before that. She was a bedroom producer releasing tracks via “garage band,” mostly ambient and synthwave, which later grew into the development of ALONA (aka XC-17). Her first EP was composed of weird electronica, bee-bop sounds, and alienish dance tunes. A few years later she introduced EROT, which marked a genre shift through many different musical compositions.

As a DJ, Ms. Alona (@stephanie-alona-helen) is fearless, daring, unpredictable, and always ready to take her audience on a wild ride. Her selections reach across multiple providence “globally”.
