KIA LIVE AT HORSE MEAT DISCO- NYC (March 2023)

Traveled w/ the homies from HARD SERVE to do a Chicago collaboration party with the VERY THAT team! And can I say - We gave it. 

Live Recording of my first time playing in the birthplace of house music, with my lil' Stiletto spin on it. 

BUMP THIS! xo

VERY THAT RADIO - STILETTO #HARDSERVENY #VERYHARD

For my horny mixtape, I selected tracks that make me feel grounded and in my body—music that makes me shake my hips, snap my fingers and throw my hands up in the air. I wanted to take the listener on a journey of embracing their own sexuality, and to bring them face to face with the thoughts and feelings that they might encounter over that process. Sometimes it feels cheeky and flirty, slinky and slippery, aggressive and throbbing. In the end, I hope it makes you feel excited and empowered, and that you’ll listen to it as a way to celebrate yourself, wherever you are on your journey to self-acceptance <3

Horny Mix

I found a guy in a dark room, took some G, fell in love. It was a soft night of confusion.

Resident disco queen Macarena (@macarenagl) and house maestro Tommy Hart (@tommyhartdj) teamed up for a surprise b2b in the Main Hall this past December. What started as a spontaneous collaboration between two close friends was nothing short of a sonic feast: a crudité of feel good disco, hands-in-the-air house and high energy anthems. Girl Dinner is served.

While it's impossible to fully capture the energy in the room that night, this recorded live set gets close. An hour and a half of sweet and savory tracks to feed the soul. It's fun, it's fresh, it's Girl Dinner!

This mix is a live recording from Resident's Night at [sic] on December 14th, 2024.

Everything Comes Back to You is about the cyclical nature of life; friends and lovers, important places or pieces of music, all entering and exiting your orbit over time. Just when you think someone or something is gone for good, there they are again. 

I started compiling this mix in the spring of last year right after my 30th birthday, recorded it the following summer and have sat with it ever since. It was a very emotional and introspective journey in the throes of my Saturn return, while experiencing a lot of uncomfortable growth. I hope it captures the feeling of not being who you were anymore, and discovering who you will be, but that this "new" version of yourself is actually lost somewhere behind or maybe deep inside you, and it's only a matter of time before it orbits its way back around.

It's been very fun to see the tracks pop up in serendipitous and special ways since selecting them last year, only further proving the thesis of the mix. Midland recorded a beautiful mix in 2021 with the same title for Honey Soundsystem's HNYPOT series. Do yourself a favor and go listen to that one too: https://soundcloud.com/dpleated/hnypot-400-midlands-everything-comes-back-to-you-mix
