DVD-C is one of the faces pushing for the Progressive and Psychedelic revivals in the local queer scene for the last couple of years. With a plethora of stellar guest radio shows under his belt for Threads, Komrad, Aaja Music and more - the ‘Psybuzz’ founder's sound is heavily influenced by the history of dance music and his dedication to the dance community. 

David’s narrative-led sound is genre-spanning within all things psychedelic and buzzy, and has got him shows at 'queer headquarters' Dalston Superstore’s Homodrop, Homostash and Adonis, playing alongside Kasra V, Marie Malarie, Tred, Bethan and more.

Sean OD with Marie Malarie - 28 January 2023

Name: Arianna Danae (@ariannadanae)
Pronouns: she/her
Location: Brooklyn, New York

Influences: My Armenian heritage, paired with the fact that a lot of my childhood and formative years was spent going to Suryoyo halfa's. I would dance dabke with all of my extended family to a live singer and a small band of a synthesizer keyboardist and a derbake player, inspiring the natural percussive rhythm consistent in the music I resonate with.

Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community: Don't follow the trends, carve your own path and stay true to yourself! There's not another in the universe that can be "you" better  As Miles Davis said, “Don’t play what’s there; play what’s not there.”

With this mix Arianna Danae asks to please learn more about and consider donating to:
❁ Azerbaijan has deprived Armenians of Artsakh (renamed Nagorno-Karabakh) of their right to safety, security, mobility, medicine, heat & food by cruelly blocking access to the only road to Armenia + vital supplies in the middle of winter. Conditions are desperate. This genocidal treatment is nothing new. Artsakh will not be erased or replaced, please donate to the ACAA in support of Armenians and the Diaspora.

After D Hux (@dominic-huxley) absolutely smashed warm-up duties at one of our first ever Whomps, founder Annx (@anna-rose-wirth) invited him on the ‘Sound of Whomp’ to show us what he’s got deep in his collection. 


One third of Pala Sounds party crew and mastermind behind Quarantine Vibe Checks, D Hux has put together an hour vinyl-only mix inspired by “the peak time slot bag” — selected perfectly to see in the sunrise. Tuck in to this deliciousness.

California-bred Robert Yang, also known as @Bezier, is an American DJ and producer.
While best known for being one of the earliest members of the queer San Francisco musical collective Honey Soundsystem, Yang also produces under multiple aliases and heads three blooming labels: Bodyzone, m-i-v (short for mémoire involontaire), and Piece of Work.
Bézier cut his teeth in the San Francisco scene for a decade, and now firmly planted in Berlin, where he continues to expand his sound and vision into a cohesive yet dynamic mosaic.

Bézier’s productions walk the line between soft and hard, emotive and gritty. From their early interest in braindance and IDM to their dance-forward proclivities, Bézier’s influences are wide-ranging, resulting in music that is as carefree as it is relentless. A master of synth work, Bézier employs a range of analog synthesizers to create highly textured tracks that recall a retro-futuristic soundscape. 
The atmosphere of these releases, often cinematic, bring to mind motorbikes zipping through alleyways or neon sunsets dripping with a kind of dystopian euphoria.

Name: Emily McGill
Alias: Em (@milou_music)
Pronouns: she/her
Location: Melbourne (Naarm), Australia 

Influences: 
As far as dance music, early progressive and psy through to newer proggy clubbier stuff, a lot of which is coming out of Melbourne! More broadly, I grew up on a lot of psych rock from the 60s & 70s, and I can feel that influencing my taste in dance music as I gravitate towards driving, whimsical, trancey sounds.  

Affiliations/Residencies/Projects: 
I'm currently recording the first EP for my new psych rock project Milou Moon (@milou_music) set to release September 2023. Stay tuned! I also DJ at parties around Melbourne sometimes- this mix is actually based on a set I played recently at around 2am at a park party. 

Favorite Quote: 
Don't wait to be inspired, work to be inspired. Can't track down who said this but I repeat it to myself a lot! 

Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community: 
It would probably be something similar to the quote above!

With this mix Em asks to please learn more about and consider donating to:
❁ Firesticks Alliance, an indigenous organisation reinvigorating the practice of cultural burning and indigenous land management.  (https://www.firesticks.org.au/)
❁ Warriors 4 Wildlife, an organisation that rescues injured wildlife around Victoria. I had the privilege to work with them around the 2019-2020 bushfires and they are great people doing amazing work! (https://warriors4wildlife.org/)

Fake Rust is a three track EP that weaves together Middle Eastern instruments, Latin influences, and hints of tribal rhythm.

The title Fake Rust came from a trip I took with artist and dear friend Jacqueline L. Palma and her daughter to the desert in Coahuila. There, we scanned stones covered in lichen. At first glance, the textures looked like rust, but in truth they were alive, quietly transforming the surface of the rocks. That illusion stayed with me: something appearing aged or corroded, but actually vibrant and breathing.

This EP carries that same paradox (raw, percussive, and earthy), yet built for movement, connection, and energy. Fake Rust is a reminder that what looks like decay can instead be growth, and that the dancefloor, like the desert, is full of hidden life.
