this is HOT!!! my foot tappin the floor hella hard to this beat!!! i love it!

It's week three of our quarantine mix series and we're coming at you all the way from Capetown, South Africa with River Moon (@yungdeepthroat). Let the meme king and sonic superstar wash over you as you carry at home in the kitchen or your ten step skincare routine and read on for the q&a. 

PJ: Tell us about this mix & where you want it to take people?
RM: In the words of the wise astrophysicist and leader of the free world, Saweetie, I really wanted something fun, something for the quarantine. Growing up in the clubs, it's the only place where I felt accepted and my art and music felt valued... and with the worldwide lockdown, we've seen the rise of virtual club nights hosted on Zoom and IG Live, so I wanted to transport you, the listener, back to the dancefloor. I included many sounds I love hearing in the club when I'm twist, so I hope y'all feel the love and the energy I put into it. 

PJ: What’s been the most surprising part about being in quarantine?
RM: A week before quarantine I had a total hip replacement surgery (at the age of 21 so I'm officially granny). It was the last surgery to be performed that week by the surgeon so I really got super lucky. I've been in pain and I was super depressed for months before, so I came out of hospital straight into quarantine and its been so good to me. I've watched my body heal and with that, my mind also started healing. I'm learning to love myself again. I'm essentially learning how to walk again, like a toddler. I feel reborn. With that, I started working on a full length music project to release after the lockdown. It's about dying and healing and finding yourself in an abyss and miraculously getting out of it and never wanting to end up back there again so you do anything you can to prevent it.

PJ: The night’s young in Cape Town, where are you taking us?
RM: We're starting our night with pre-drinks and the infamous Yours Truly. We start early so we can get the 50% off happy hour because we're broke and cheap as hell. After that we head to Prime, a party night hosted by my good friend Alex Michelsen. Prime is the place where all the gorls(trademark symbol) come out to dance the night away. I sort of became a resident at Prime around early 2019 and it is actually where I started DJ'ing. After Prime everyone goes to YT Loop to end the night off in a cramped club/bar that plays all the good R&B and deep house - everyone except me. I have to be back home by 1AM because I got arthiritis and my bones start hurting after midnight... 

PJ: As a curator of @patiasfantasyworld, what do you look for in a good meme?
RM: Out of all the questions, this one is the most difficult one to answer. So, I co-run my friend Patia's (patia000000) meme page with my good sis Laina (realistic_lacefront) since late last year. I think we all just have a similar sense of humor and it's pretty unexplainable and chaotic. When I post on the page, it's usually a meme that I relate to, but obviously in an exaggerated and nutty way. I love memes about food and gay sex. I don't know anything about either of those things, but both are hilarious to me. 

PJ: Where can people send you $?
RM: Buy my music on https://saintdeepthroatxo.bandcamp.com/ !!! If you're not into my chaotic sound and you simply think I'm sexy and funny and intelligent, my paypal is https://paypal.me/rivermoon
