“I CAN’T EXPLAIN” is finally out on my SoundCloud in the link in my bio! This is the tenth mix I’ve ever created, and this is also the mix I’m most proud of. It’s pretty experimental, I literally…can’t explain it. But, I wanted to do something fun, unique, and expose some of my listeners a different sound that they rarely heard of. You’ll know what I mean when you listen! 🎧

This mix gets pretty trippy in the middle, but ends on a magical note. Hope you all enjoy, and here‘s to 10 more! 🥂

Also I can’t explain my gratitude for all the people who’ve listened. It means the world to me. Thank you all for your support. 🤍

I CAN'T EXPLAIN

SMUT Press is delighted to present Ms. G for the 29th mix in the Sounds of SMUT mix series. Ms.G (they/them) has been a mainstay of the London Queer scene for the better part of the last decade. A longstanding resident at Dalston Superstore, their sound draws from a rich tapestry of in uences: High energy rave, sultry percussive breaks, pumping hard house and rolling trance numbers weaved together with classic UK motifs and the playful vocals that Ms.G has become synonymous for.

They have played at some of London’s most coveted parties, including Body Movements, the now defunct Big Dyke Energy raves, Club Are, Pxssy Palace and closing the gone, but not forgotten Chapter 10.

This year has included an appearance on Boiler Room and the Summer months feature appearances at some of the UKs most vibe-heavy dance oors including QYSP, Gala festival and Field Maneuvers to name a few. If you know you know!

Luca Lozano & Mr Ho at Dekmantel Ten

This is my closing set recorded live at Faggots Are Women in NYC. FAW isn’t one of those mid parties begging for attention, promising collective moral high ground without doing anything. This party is an entire world—full of gags, friendship, and intention. The art, copy, door policy, sound, lights, chill areas—and its very existence in today’s USA—is T. It bubbled up from a scene that needs it, agitates the status quo, and doesn’t seek outside validation—IYKYK.

Its theme: “Faggots are FLINTA*s: Escape from Berlin.” We know New Yorkers love to say “Berlin is over” (while others say NYC is over). Some say Berlin is known for cheap living, liberated mindsets, world-class nightlife, and hot people - but it’s also dark and easy to disappear. For me, how you feel there has always been an inkblot test: it depends on who you are right now. 

But since Oct 7, 2023, Berlin has changed radically. A place known for freedom of expression has descended in to a McCarthyist hellscape for pro-Palestine activists. Cultural institutions cooperate by silencing dissenting views, and police enforce this with overtly racist brutality. It affects everything — everyday life, art, music, dancing and fun.

Obviously the political situation is similarly bleak in the US. It feels like a bizarre time to celebrate, but also a critical time to be together with the people you love. This is why the level of intention here is important: worldbuilding by and for a community, even just for a night, has the power to nourish us in so many ways.

And so I tried to match that level for the closing. Not gonna spoil the references, but they are thick and deep, and call on some very important voices. It’s usually hard to listen back to a live set without focusing on the flaws. But in this recording, I think of Charlene giving me a quick face beat en route, the unsure gays when I started, the grind-train of culturatti dolls towards the end, and the gaggle of Colombian queers losing it for Shakira. The room was unhinged and alive, full of the best. This is for those who were there—and for those who get it.
