Jacob Meehan - Substantiate*

Dominican-born, New York City-raised artist @DELABAE is influenced by a wide range of musical genres but has a particular fondness for sounds derived from his Afro-Caribbean and Dominican roots, having grown up in a melting pot and one of the world's most multi-cultural cities. Alexis, aka DELABAE, is inspirited by New York City’s ever-evolving dance floors and finds his muse through its vibrant underground dance music scene. DELABAE's passion and dedication to honing his craft compelled him to forgo law school and abandon his regular 9-to-5 career to fully immerse himself in the creativity which the enthralling community of his home city has ignited within him. DELABAE is committed to using his music and artistry to increase and revolutionize queer Latino representations through mediums of film, fashion, and music on a local and global scale.

COOKIE MIX #066: DELABAE

Jacob Meehan, a native of Roodhouse, Illinois (population 1,700) cut his chops in Chicago, the home of house, while working at Gramaphone Records and throwing/playing parties in and around the city. A major player in the new queer underground, he now resides in Berlin where he has furthered his musical prowess as producer and resident DJ of the much-beloved fête, Buttons, and the epic summer standout, Whole Festival. 

Major Records is pleased to feature the very first single release from Meehan, featuring a remix by our very own Nita Aviance. "Hier" started out with a nod to the forefathers, referencing David Morales and Frankie Knuckles mix of Alison Limerick's "Where Love Lives,” but quickly grew into a deep house dream full of funky synth leads and anthemic arpeggios all layered over some kicky-fresh beats. 

Nita’s remix strips it all down only to build it back up again, leaning into the arpeggios and riding those new wave synths through the dark night and straight into the dawn with her signature diva vocal cut-ups.

Jacob Meehan - Hier

My set from the incredible CockTail d'Amore party in Berlin on Nov 1, 2014. Huge thanks to Discodromo and Boris for having me play this magic music place – one of my favorite gigs of my life.

Aaron Clark @ CockTail d'Amore Berlin - 11.1.14

"The baby blankly stared into deep space for an endless amount of time. Surrounded by distant, meaningless signals, it floundered its head in stupid confusion. A hollow language spoken by all around it…contradicting actions and evil decisions made by the giants rising high above the baby’s chamber…a society drowning with heartbreak. Though the fragile baby didn’t understand heartbreak yet, that emotion breathed a contagious smell, and the baby already felt it deep inside. 

The dark world sat still. But right on cue, a giant, peculiar hand reached across the baby’s chamber and tapped a black robotic block. Neon reds emitted from the mechanical block and greeted the now-nearly-blind baby. The large hand lightly placed a circular shiny disc inside the machine. The hand pressed another button…this one read, “PLAY.” The music started and, suddenly, the baby felt a sense of purpose, and everything made sense..."

Ricky Mawzlin is a DJ, event organizer, musician, and all-around music nerd from Pittsburgh. He started playing in indie/post-punk/electronic projects and promoting punk shows at a young age. After years of researching and writing about music scenes and amassing vast collections of tracks, he began DJing via his party “Total Trash” at a divey gay bar.

In 2017, thanks to his love of all-things italo and disco, he co-created Jellyfish. He’s one half of Jellyfish: a duo that DJs & organizes traveling queer parties around the USA and abroad (with their home base still in Pittsburgh). Ricky’s sometimes-chaotic mixing can bounce between hi-NRG disco, to melodic techno, to sleazy house, to chugging italo, to dreamy shoegaze. Musical influences stem from both his travels along with the energy & community that the right dance floor can somehow magically manifest.
