Ashley Venom
Miami, FL
Ashley Venom is a Haitian American event producer, artist and DJ from Miami.

Words can’t always depict what needs to be said, so I find power in being able to say exactly what’s on my mind through music. It’s my way of communicating.

What makes you feel powerful?
The moments where I reflect on my past and understand that I am in a wayyy better place now than I was before. Also whenever I  play out regardless of the size of the crowd, I find myself feeling mad powerful and mad fulfilled once I see bodies dancing.

Neon Nuckles
The Bronx (BX all day bb)

Neon Nuckles blends an eclectic mixture of Juke, Footwork, Club and House, drawing influences from older, traditional Funk, R&B, Jazz and Electronic to recreate a soulful and rhythmic vibe that'll get you dancin' with her through the nostalgia.

What inspired this mix? 
My duality. The dynamics of being a black woman requires so much strength and vigilance. Everyday, I need to be strong, yet patient, assertive yet thoughtful, working for and advocating on behalf of myself and my community. A lot of the time, I force myself to be a little larger and more confident than I might feel. On the other side, I’m privileged to be able to fully enjoy and learn black culture and how much it offers the world. It’s incredibly vast and rich, I’m so happy to be in this skin I’m in. Music allows me a way to express both (sometimes conflicting) feelings. I want to be a fucking force to be reckoned with but I want to show off my rhythm, my sexuality and my tenderness. By not limiting myself, I become a more complex and vibrant being.


What makes you feel powerful? 
My resilience. I made a promise to myself (crying in the mirror... “I promise you, I’ll take care of you, no matter who is in or out of your life, I WILL be there to make you happy”) and sometimes you have to talk to yourself like that. When your body starts having physical limitations, when you decide that you want to maintain two different careers, when you decide you want to live alone, you know you're choosing a harder path. But I practice flowing through my obstacles instead of clenching down and running thru it. In that way, even in the hardest situations, I pick myself up and keep going like its no sweat. 

Shoutouts: Shout outs to Amanda, Shawnee, Anuradha, Owira, Brownie, Kush, Bojaq, Amen and the rest of PSquad, Surf and all of HalfmoonBK.

What inspired this mix?
FEMININE POWER

What makes you feel powerful?
I like feeling weak and powerful at the same time. I think there's power in vulnerability, in fact, it's necessary. This mix has both strong and vulnerable songs predominantly sang by femmes, inspired by anime, rock and roll, and modern trap.

PAM JONES

What inspired this mix?
This mix was a live recorded set inspired by the theme of the recent Masisi. Caribbean; black Diasporic Voodoo energy. I had some songs in mind I knew I wanted to play. But I also played off the energy in the space. All the greenery and the white dress code just gave me jungle ancestral vibes. Wanted to keep it Latin and dancey. Still grimey and a little dirty. 

What makes you feel powerful?
I feel that power comes from showing up for yourself everyday. There are some days where that may not always be possible - But love sure does have some magic that allows me to rise to the occasion if I’m not 100%

EB0NY DEN!M
Just another unapologetic black weirdo who doesn't really like to say much about themselves.

What inspired this mix?
This mix for me is more personal. giving a feel and sound to my whole experience with 2019. a lot of transitions from people, my comforts, home, figuring myself out in the world, trying to be as present in my body. a lot of necessary destruction and the importance of that. a self meditation. what it feels like to let your body be jolted around and then finding the light when housing so much but working through it as well. this mix feels like i am projecting a space for those who would like to emote in a safer place with their own darkness too. also, prioritized most the artists on this mix to be black queer folxs ( fatima al qadiri is the only artist who isn’t black though the tracks I play of fatima’s are from mati diop's film atlantiques) <3 

What makes you feel powerful?
Wearing leather. following my gut. listening to megan thee stallion. reassurance from those i keep close. embracing my darkness. tapping into my black waywardness.

Auntie Starr - Brooklyn, NY
 
 
What inspired this mix?
Crystal - Our friendship heavily inspired this mix. We spent a few nights together just playing around on the XDJ’s, being goofy; our usual routine. We started by playing a few of our favorite songs and created a tracklist out of that. Our first time playing together was at the old Half Moon studio back early 2019, which is around the first time we met. Who knew that we would be recording our first b2b mix a year later!
 
Starr - This mix is inspired by the joy I get from being with friends, the tender ways we hold each other, and dancing together until the sunrise. Crys and I going b2b was so special. We met around this time last year and been inseparable since; this mix is sort of like an ode to friendship.
 
What makes you feel powerful?
Crystal - Honestly this might sound cliche, but dj’ing makes me feel powerful. It’s a feeling you don’t always have the pleasure of experiencing. It’s sort of like an adrenaline rush.
 
Starr - Laughter! Laughing makes me feel so powerful. It’s like for a moment life is overwhelmingly pleasurable; so pleasurable that you laugh, you smile, you feel good. And to me, feeling good is powerful.
 
Shoutouts:
Crystal - Shoutout to DJ Love, whose tracks we featured in the mix. And shoutout to Clam for taking these super soft pics of us, love you both forever. Shoutout to all the black femme DJ’s. Shoutout to Half Moon always.
 
Starr - Big thank you to Half Moon BK for letting us use the space to record, Darian for mastering our mix, and Clam for taking these beautiful photos.

In the wake of this pandemic, all of my resources and normalcy was halted and I just felt like I needed a breath of fresh air. My biggest inspiration came from needing a moment to breath but also having the sudden freedom to just be. 

What makes you feel powerful?
What makes me feel powerful is my freedom and the power to liberate others through that.

What inspired this mix?
Working on this mix somewhat synced up with finalizing my EP. These past few months I haven't felt motivated or in the right headspace to work on these tracks. I had a few demos but the project itself felt very unfinished and eventually I stopped revisiting it. Recently though, I have felt a bit of resurgence and this mix is inspired by that feeling of renewal. 

What makes you feel powerful?
Having the ability and desire to create.

@ADRESTIA
Based out of Brooklyn, New York, Adrestia co-founded her collective, ALKHEMY and their party, The Black Hole, in 2016. With her collective’s focus on diversifying lineups by elevating artists of color in techno, Adrestia has had a hand in developing the rapidly expanding underground scene coming out of Brooklyn. After gaining attention for her Boiler Room set at Unter: Latin America in 2019, she’s since earned the reputation for her unique and punchy sets heard at local gatherings like Fourth World, Dominion, a Discwoman collaboration party and the club, Basement. While she also made marks internationally at an ALKHEMY and ARTS showcase at Griessmuehle and STAUB in Berlin.


What inspired this mix?
I feel like it’s fair to say that we are currently experiencing a Black renaissance in arts and culture. After years of perseverance, and now the global movement for Black lives, the spotlight on Black creators has never shined brighter. As a BIPOC myself, I feel even prouder to be contributing in my own way. This mix is inspired by the energy and vibrancy I see every day in the artists I admire, the breathtaking work I discover and the unstoppable movement for racial equity.

What makes you feel powerful?
When I express myself through art is when I feel the most powerful. I was classically trained as a dancer growing up, so whenever I stepped on stage to perform I felt like the strongest
 version of myself. Now as a DJ, and most recently learning music production, I feel powerful having the control of my expression at my fingertips. I don’t need to say anything. Music does all the speaking for me.
