"After much thought I decided to present this mix in the style I first learned to practice as a young person approaching the end of a century. A mixtape, a personal letter from one friend to another. A lullaby, a soothing refrain to calm the storm in our souls. With this collection of songs I wish to honor those in our lives whose time has come and gone. To mourn their passing but also to celebrate their season, when life was high and our days seemed never-ending. Just as this loss seems to have drained our hearts leaving us empty and cold, the tide will eventually turn and fill us up once again, restoring our faith that love, like the stardust we are made of, is everlasting. Lest we not ever have to say goodbye, only see you soon my friend" - Nita Aviance

At this point, Shy One might be familiar to most music fans as one of the hosts of NTS's daily breakfast show, Soup To Nuts, where she helps listeners across the UK and Europe settle into their morning routines with an eclectic and soulful selection of dance music and downtempo. But the London artist has been around a lot longer than that, with a discography that goes back well over a decade. 

She started releasing music as a regular on Scratcha DVA's label, and it was there that she sketched out a recognizable but impressively varied approach rooted in her home base of London. On her records, Shy One sometimes feels like London incarnate, synthesizing the histories of Black British dance music—drum & bass, grime, UK funky, broken beat, jazz, you name it—into one syncretic and immensely appealing sound. But her music glows with the warmth of American deep house, too, which lends it a timeless, ageless quality that has proven immensely appealing. She furthers this mission with Private World, a party she started with Ruby Savage. The name kind of says it all: she's inviting you to her own personal space, but what awaits is a whole wide world of music and culture.

Her RA Podcast feels like a hybrid between a club DJ set and her morning show, and here, she zeroes in on a the lineage of American house music from the '90s and beyond, featuring tracks from the likes of Green Velvet, Marcellus Pittman, Roy Davis Jr., Wbeeza, Jay Daniel and more, plus a spotlight from Baltimore club king DJ Technics. It's patient and easygoing but perfect for a small dance floor (or a livingroom party), focused but stylistically diverse. It's everything we've come to expect from an artist like Shy One, who weaves stories and histories with her DJ sets, and does it effortlessly, too.

For the debut episode of Genderfunk Radio, it only felt right to call on someone who’s been holding it down for Hanoi’s baby queers since the early days: TrinhNu—aka Nam Phung (宀 Music / Studio Adventure, Hanoi). A staple of the scene since 2016 and part of the first wave of queer Vietnamese DJs to step into the spotlight.

We could go on for days about this queen’s accomplishments, mixes, and crazy releases, but we’d rather leave the door open for you to explore more yourself—you’ll be impressed. 

About this mix, he says, ‘My mood’s been good lately, so the mix is a bit chaotic.’ Translation? A wild ride through unpredictability, moods, and BPMs—and we are absolutely living for it. 💅🏼 We couldn’t have asked for a better way to kick things off. Let’s go big! 🌈

Genderfunk #1 with TrinhNu

023 - Bradley Zero - Recorded live from fabric

This is my closing set recorded live at Faggots Are Women in NYC. FAW isn’t one of those mid parties begging for attention, promising collective moral high ground without doing anything. This party is an entire world—full of gags, friendship, and intention. The art, copy, door policy, sound, lights, chill areas—and its very existence in today’s USA—is T. It bubbled up from a scene that needs it, agitates the status quo, and doesn’t seek outside validation—IYKYK.

Its theme: “Faggots are FLINTA*s: Escape from Berlin.” We know New Yorkers love to say “Berlin is over” (while others say NYC is over). Some say Berlin is known for cheap living, liberated mindsets, world-class nightlife, and hot people - but it’s also dark and easy to disappear. For me, how you feel there has always been an inkblot test: it depends on who you are right now. 

But since Oct 7, 2023, Berlin has changed radically. A place known for freedom of expression has descended in to a McCarthyist hellscape for pro-Palestine activists. Cultural institutions cooperate by silencing dissenting views, and police enforce this with overtly racist brutality. It affects everything — everyday life, art, music, dancing and fun.

Obviously the political situation is similarly bleak in the US. It feels like a bizarre time to celebrate, but also a critical time to be together with the people you love. This is why the level of intention here is important: worldbuilding by and for a community, even just for a night, has the power to nourish us in so many ways.

And so I tried to match that level for the closing. Not gonna spoil the references, but they are thick and deep, and call on some very important voices. It’s usually hard to listen back to a live set without focusing on the flaws. But in this recording, I think of Charlene giving me a quick face beat en route, the unsure gays when I started, the grind-train of culturatti dolls towards the end, and the gaggle of Colombian queers losing it for Shakira. The room was unhinged and alive, full of the best. This is for those who were there—and for those who get it.

Live at Faggots Are FLINTA*s

Some people say "DJaying" is an art form, but for WILLIAM ROBBINS, TOMMY CASTRO and PLANET B it is more like a spiritual exercise. Their sets which are inherently something ephemeral, but through the manipulation of knobs and buttons, create unforgettable timeless masterpieces. These are their stories.
