Kandylion has a sound that is deeply rooted in the years she has spent in the NYC queer scene. Infusing house groves with elements of disco, soul, rnb, acid and breaks, she seeks to provide an uplifting and irresistible dance floor experience that is accessible to all.

JC (SPRFRK) Brooklyn, NY via Miami, FL, A dance floor diva-turned-DJ with a strong presence in the Brooklyn underground queer scene. He’s held a residency at Happyfun Hideaway with his formerly know “Sick’ning Fridays” happy hour since 2020. Playing parties like Harder, Scandalo NYC, Queer Disorganization, Bottle Service, Sole Rehab and he recently opened for Hercules & Love Affair. He hopes to continue collaborating and growing with DJs and artists from all over and bring his extra spicy and freaky flavor with his diverse and eclectic sound to many more dance floors in NYC and around the world.

Notes on the Mix ///

"It was a really fun process putting this together with JC and finding a cohesive sound between our two musical tastes, which are very similar! I love the extra gay moments we came up with. I also love how the structure of this mix mimics what I consider to be an ideal dance floor experience: a warmup with lots of percussive groove; a slow build in energy with lots of soul and classic house styles that locks you in through to the peak; and a lush melodic wind down that ends on an optimistic note :)

If you know JC/SPRFRK, then you know he is a person who brings a special energy to a room (and to the decks!) Over the time I’ve known him, I’ve watched him grow and refine his sound as a dj and I love the chemistry that we’ve developed playing together, so I knew he was absolutely the right choice for this b2b. I’m so glad to have him both as a friend and a musical cohort and look forward to many more dance floor moments together!" -Kandylion

"I’m very honored to be part of this XOXA B2B mix with KANDYLION. Not only has she become a great friend of mine in the scene, but the more we get to know each other, the more in sync we become musically. Playing with KANDYLION has been such a fun adventure and this mix is a reflection of what fun we have playing together. Hope to continue this journey with her and reach many dance-floors with our energizing sound!" -SPRFRK


Notes on XOXA ///

“XOXA has been a part of my life since 2018 and the memories will last a lifetime! It’s been a beautiful ride as well as an important source for connection and development for me as part of a vibrant network of queer artists in nightlife. Here’s to six more years!" -Kandylion

"XOXA has been a great part and major supporter of my DJ career. They make a great impact in the queer nightlife scene in NYC with their great parties and iconic bookings. If you’re ever at a XOXA party, I can guarantee you’ll be dancing all night!" -SPRFRK

MICROWAVE 4 ONE: EP #11 with SPRKLBB | Soho Radio | 26 May 2023

Sexy, bitchy, clubby, housey, punk, and unmistakably queer - everything I hoped the opening hours of the first-ever Statement Piece at Smartbar would be when I asked Don Crescendo (@doncrescendo) to honor the inaugural residency with their Smartbar debut. This is the first recording in the Statement Piece mix series recorded live from my residency at Smartbar rather than the WNUR airwaves. More to come - thank you Don!

Don was robbed of his life on September 15, 2023. Please donate to funeral expenses for his family if you are able. Rest in Peace and Power, Don.
