two years ago, i lost a sister of mine and when she left a piece of me left with her too. Every year during Pride, I look around and see all the places she could have been, all the places she could have seen and all the love she could have felt. I’ve carried her to every performance, every show, every train ride, every conversation, every moment and in every breathe but every year, Pride comes around and I see the erasure of trans* bodies and the continued genocide on my brothers, sisters and siblings. Every day I wake up, and another one is taken from us, with no uproar, no urgency and no empathy. My sister became a number, something I never thought she would become and with every death I see, I’m reminded of the fact that this is someones sister, and this cycle starts for someone else. I’ve found it hard to get up, preferred sleeping, kept in the darkness of my shadows, avoiding the hard truth of the feelings I have to face and the mourning that must take place. But, as much as we avoid the sunlight, it’ll pierce, and it will always come through. It’s golden rays heal. I’m healing, i’m mourning but i’m embracing the sun. I feel lighter lately, and on this two year mark, I feel more at peace with what happened, and I’m finding my purpose. The sun is coming.

FAT FEMME RADIO: EPISODE 1

Bitch, I’m Cunt

TENZ - DJ ONYX MOSCHINO

In addition to playing music for people, VARSHA is a freestyle dancer & model from the San Francisco Bay Area, and lives bicoastally between New York and the west coast. Much of her music taste and DJ practice is deeply inspired by the communities of artists and dancers from the queer and freestyle dance cultures that she is a part of, primarily the house dance & ballroom scenes. Through her playful, deep, and cunty blends she strives to channel the vibrant energy of these scenes, encouraging party-goers to feel boundless in their bodies and movement, and find release on the dance floor. She hosts a party and monthly radio show in Oakland called 'BODY HIGH,' on Lower Grand Radio.

Notes on the Mix ///
"Most times, when I'm listening to music, I'm imagining myself house dancing or voguing to it, or the context where I'd get to play it out for people. More often than not, that place is session. Session is like when musicians get together to freestyle & jam, but for dancers. Like the club, session is catharsis. It's where you go to play, socialize, lab. This was part of the inspiration for this mix: tracks I'd play for house/vogue dancers at session. Session is a place where you can explore both internally and externally; in this way I wanted to bring a range of textures together, and this mix represents the ones I've been drawn to the most this year: pulling from ghetto house, garage, acid, deep house, and jazz. And of course being December, many of these tracks sum up my sound as it evolved this year, the longest period that I had lived in New York so far (~9 months). I learned a lot of lessons this year, and I heard and danced to a lot of amazing music. This mix feels like the sum of those experiences. Thanks for listening <3"

XOXA BLEND 132 - VARSHA

When They Love Each Other is a soulful exploration of what happens when two hearts meet with equal devotion. The track blends intimate storytelling with a hypnotic groove, weaving themes of patience, truth, and dedication into a timeless sound. Through tender verses and powerful refrains, it captures the everyday gestures that build lasting love — from quiet conversations and shared dreams to resilience in the face of struggle. Cinematic, raw, and deeply emotional, this song celebrates the balance, beauty, and strength that come alive when love flows both ways.

When They Love Each Other
