This mix is a love letter to my best friend and other half, Francisco Manzano (@priest_music). May he live on in the beautiful tapestry of people that he connected with his infectious smile, and forever remembered by the lives he touched through his music. To those of us who knew him, we are all so lucky to have had someone color our lives in such a meaningful way.

The set includes tracks we shared with one another and played out together often, some of my own selections to say goodbye, and obviously a few of our favorite Pet Shop Boys songs. I hope anyone who listens finds a little bit of peace, remembering that the joy we shared with our loved ones who have passed is infinite, expanding, and never done. 

Recorded live at [sic] community club in Mexico City, February 10th, 2024

Rest in peace Manzano, Viva la Priest 💚

How To Say Goodbye To A Friend

PAPER <3s NY and PAPER <3s the DJs that keep us moving. That’s why we’re proud to present The Tear, our new mix series highlighting the best DJs spinning in the city we call home.

THE TEAR: Nita Aviance

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

Everything Comes Back to You

Live at Tossd 006 - Nita Aviance

Douched & Dangerous is a genre-defiant, high-femme, no-fucks-given mix that celebrates trans greatness, joy, and the playfulness of American club culture.

Opening with the voice of trans icon AJA, “Douched & Dangerous”, is an ode to trans women who have significantly shaped nightlife. From Bashkka to Arca to Ms. Boogie, these women drive the flow of the mix producing a bouncy, sexy, and an "I'm that bitch" type of energy. DIVAS TO THE DANCE FLOOR!!!

This mix doesn't sit neatly inside genre lines. It builds, crashes, and swerves through bass, booty house, experimental techno, and ghetto club. Inspired by how Berlin always reminds me of my love for Black American culture — the humor, the irreverence, the inventiveness — this set is a love letter to this community as well.

Ultimately, this is for the gworls, the dolls, the they/thems, and anyone who doesn't do keta on the dance floor lol.
