Probably one of kindest and welcoming humans you’ll ever meet. FEVER’s next mix is from Tom DeBlase and he’s quite a big deal in the Rochester, NY Queer scene. Tom paid us a visit back in 2019 but back home he’s resident DJ and promoter for his own party, Sole Rehab. Every DJ has unique stories about how they got started and Tom’s is no different. Mom played an important part at an early age listening to the weekly radio show Hearts of Space on Sunday nights. After attending his first rave in 1996 he knew what he had to do. Collaborative events began in the mid-2000’s and his first solo event series in 2008. He connects with many different genres bringing together effortless sets that span the complete history of Queer dance music. I’ve known Tom for a couple years now and his mixes continue to evolve and take listeners on new journey into familiar and sometimes unknown territory. And the second  contribution to our mix series is no different. FEVER is very excited to bring Tom back in July but take a listen to his mix to tide you over until then.

TOM DeBLASE : FEVER Mix Series FVR002

Live recording of my overly dramatic set for Nightrider in Provincetown for Bearmania 2021. Equipped with all the ups, downs, and flexible changes that go with a sweaty, foggy basement.  Was real energy on that floor. Thanks for sharing a dance and hope you like it :)

This mix was born out of a 2015 closing party for North Florida's
then-longest operating gay club. By the time it was recorded, the owner
(and club's namesake) had passed, there were few original patrons left,
and profits over people prevailed. The party's audience was segregated
and I requested to play in the main room for the OGs.

The music is actually comprised mostly of CDs and CD singles. There is
one piece of vinyl. It was recorded live. Scene folks forget what a
driving force the CD single format was in the club from the late-1980s
until the early-2000s. Especially in Europe. They forget the
side-by-side Denons in the booth that took abuse, and the early tabletop
CD decks of the mid-1990s. A lot of us stateside kids didn't have much
pocket money. CD singles gave more bang for your buck and often featured
exclusive versions, no matter what territory they were produced.

You'll hear the sounds of my early '90s life as succinctly as 77 minutes
will allow. Don't be fooled by the first track. Settle in: you'll get
New York, Chicago, Detroit, England, Germany and more. From François K
to Paul Oakenfold, Kevin Saunderson to Sasha, and Robert Owens to
Underworld, this is one minor cross-section of me. Enjoy with an open
mind."

Notes on the Mix ///
"I wanted to emulate the vibe of my set at the NYC Pride XOXA party and show what I’ve been playing out lately. You’ll hear elements of the darker side of Chicago House and also some light, bouncy, Boompty House too. This mix is my love letter to New York! I hope you enjoy it as much as I had fun making it!"

Josh Cheon grew up in northern New Jersey, just outside New York City, where he spent his weekends dancing at goth clubs and digging for records. He moved to San Francisco in 2006 and joined the gay DJ collective Honey Soundsystem from 2007 to 2017. His love of underground ‘80s music pushed him to start Dark Entries in 2009, a record label specializing in reissuing lost music from that era and contemporary bands referencing those analog sounds.
