Thanks for being part of House of Other’s family! 💞🦄

Production and DJ duo https://soundcloud.com/the-carry-nation is comprised of Will Automagic & Nita Aviance who have been bubbling into the helm of NYC’s underground over the last 10 years. They just released their mix to our podcast series which oozes with style and is firmly rooted in the excitement of New York’s City history. With mayor milestones as Panorama Bar, Glastonbury’s Block 9 and DJ support for Beyoncé, there is no sign this unstoppable duo is slowing down. We couldn’t think of a better way to start the weekend! Link in bio.

On their favorite track:
At 1:16 this mix includes the track "Damn" by Nick Brenner. We added this track to the mix as it will be released this month on Major Records, our label we run with Justin Cudmore and Mike Servito.

Uncontainable joy: @kilopatrah-jones’ authentic expression is exhilarating dancefloors 

"​For this mix, I focused on queer femme energy from a dancer's perspective. This mix is her own woman. And yes, she has a voice (and attitude) of her own.

So what, she is loud, raunchy and just a little cunty? You love her cause she keeps it real. I focused on what feels sexy and empowering to me and followed that feeling just like I do in my live sets. Technique wise, I was pulling samples, melodies from my Caribbean upbringing and digitized records for this for a quite a while, so it was extremely satisfying to hear the sounds in my head come together in real time, fully realized.

This mix is a sweaty somatic affirmation to the fat girls, the shy club kids who don’t wanna go home, the girls who stay out too late, for those in which the club is home, those who yearn to be free and everyone else in between. May this mix be our release."

Good news! Pacific Spirit is back after a small hiatus with our first mix of 2024. This time around it's a 3 hour live recording from one of Pittsburgh's finest, Aaron Clark. Here's a bit of back story on the recording:

In October 2022, Hot Mass threw a fundraiser for the Kyiv Angels – a group doing work to support Ukrainian civilians. We tapped Kyiv’s Closer resident Shakolin, and I took the warm-up set of the night. This is the recording of my part of the night. I dusted off a lot of old favourite records and leaned into a slow build that I try to set the club up with, tugging the floor between psychedelic rhythms, trippy techno and pops of house. This recording landed in that bullseye opening zone I aim for, and I hope it transports you to my favourite little dance floor in the world."

Enjoy the audio everyone! Also be sure to familiarize yourself with the many projects Aaron is involved with including - Hot Mass, Honcho, and Honcho Campout. Aaron is also a resident at the NYC dance institution Nowadays, if you happen to find yourself in the Big Apple and he's playing you're in for a solid session!

In this live talk with Tama Sumo, Lakuti and musclecars, the New York legend sets the record straight.

DJ, producer and remixer Yvonne Turner was one of the only women instrumental in shaping New York's early house scene, yet her story has gone largely undocumented. Born in Harlem in 1953, she started DJing regularly by the late '70s, playing weekly parties in Flatbush and getting her musical education at The Loft. There, she says, she learned how "good music" should sound. It inspired her to start going to the studio and sharing her musical revelations with other people.

As a woman producer, she was often relegated to the small print on records, bumped to associate or co-producer status or marked as a mixer instead of a remixer. Many of the male vocalists she worked with got credit for the music. But Turner penned some acclaimed house tracks, such as "Set Fire To Me," "Music Is The Answer" and the official remix of Whitney Houston's "I'm Your Baby Tonight." While Turner took a back seat for a few years, deciding to teach in elementary schools and wind down her touring, she recently got back in the studio and wants to set the record straight about the history of house and her place—and many other women's—within it. 

This conversation was moderated by Tama Sumo, Lakuti and the DJ duo musclecars live at Public Records in New York. Listen to the conversation in full.

This is Part 2 of my Mystery of the Motherbeat series of DJ mixes. I’ve wanted to record this mix for a long time as a follow-up to my 2018 mix by the same name. Both are a fusion of styles used to build a psychedelic hypnotic soundscape for deep listening and personal synchronization with the heart of Motherbeat. No big hands in the air moments to speak of here, just deep mixing and some of the most beautiful records in my collection.

Eris Drew’s Mystery of the Motherbeat Part 2

Recorded live at Nowadays in Queens, NY on Friday, January 5, 2024.

JADALAREIGN Residency w/ Hieroglyphic Being ✰

Alias: Dee Diggs
Pronoun: She / Her
Location: Brooklyn, NYC
Music labels: Toucan Sounds
Name of the mix: House is a Spiritual Feeling
About the mix: For me, House music is a 44-year-old genre of music that originated and popularized in the black gay LGBTQ+ nightclub spaces of New York, Chicago, and Detroit that spilled on to influence and inspire the world. House music is a living breathing relic that tells its own story in the hits, the lyrics, the parties, and our legends and legacies in local and worldwide scenes. 
House music is a mode of being, a ritualistic euphoria we gather for, a space of praise, connection, and unadulterated feeling, healing and dancing- kind of like church should be, a dance floor where there is room for someone like you.
The mix I made explores a spiritual realm of House music with influences of Jazz, Disco, Gospel, and African and Latin Diasporic sounds. 
Its infectious rhythms take you into a certain sentimentality. This is an ancestral conversation twisting into different messages of hope and resilience. The heart, soul, and mind are wrestling with big themes in these transitions. Though breaking through at times to find lightness, this one is meant to go deep. I love that House Music can hold all the multitudes and complexities of being human.

Nuestros eventos quieren ser algo
más que fiestas, buscan ser el
reflejo de un estilo de vida.
Un entorno seguro sin prejuicios
donde conceptos como el tiempo
y el espacio se vuelven realmente
relativos y lo único que importe sea
la pista de baile y la energía
colectiva del queerpo de baile.
Un fenómeno cultural con una
desviación interminable y dinámica.
Un espacio lúdico para la autorrepresentación
de les marginades, de
la otredad, de nosotres, al ritmo
sincopado de la música de baile.
DIME QUÉ FIESTA MONTAS
Y TE DIRÉ QUIÉN ERES
SOMOS SALVAJES.

Durante estos meses,
mientras el mundo se desmoronaba,
hemos pensado mucho en la otredad,
lo pasado por alto,
lo diferente…
En definitiva, en todo lo que pone en jaque a la norma y al sistema cisheteropatriarcal

Este puede ser un buen comienzo para un cambio que está por venir,
junts podemos apoyarnos mutuamente para volver a resignificar la pista de baile

nos ha costado pero por fin nos hemos lanzamos.
Llega el momento de
Others To The Front!
