BLUSH007 - Sam PV @pumpingvelvet

Blush aims to help soothe the queer spectrum and focus on the well-being of the community. Queer DJs are invited to submit a mix to showcase an alternative side to their music library outside of a rave and take us on a meditative journey. ✨

Notes on the mix:

"While at its best the queer clubbing experience provides a space to transcend beyond the struggle of our daily lives, that feeling is as much about the community and motion of the rave as it is the music itself. These are rare and beautiful moments that we cherish, but can often feel empty as they pass. In order to sustain these feelings we must seek the opportunity to feel healed and nourished by music beyond the confines of the dancefloor, and i've attempted to provide a meditative soundtrack for just such a purpose in the form of the my BLUSH mix. Opening with the Pharaohs Sanders' Spiritual Blessing, the mix spans my diverse collection with music from 1973 to tracks released just a few weeks ago, piecing together tunes that relax my psyche, whether through the mediative power of bass, swirling drones or sparkling melodies. All at a pace that offers the opportunity to truly decompress."

Sam is the founder and a resident at Pumping Velvet, a London-based Queer dance party that takes place bi-monthly at LGBTQ+ venue Dalston Superstore.

Sam grew up in London, his tastes moulded by the city’s diverse dance music scenes: from childhood trips to Notting Hill Carnival, to formative dancefloor experiences at nights like FWD, Trash and Süd Electronic. He brings these influences to his DJing in sets that span a broad gamut of genres, tied together by a love for big drums, pop melodies and sleaze.

Frustrated by the lack of queer spaces where you could hear both a Svek record and Kylie in the same night, Sam founded Pumping Velvet in 2018, driven by the firm belief that any barriers erected between pop and ‘serious’ dance music are entirely artificial and that there’s no such thing as a guilty pleasure. It’s this same ethos and disregard for boundaries that makes his DJ so thrilling.

Hiii, Octo Octa here! I'm sharing a new mix series I'm doing under the name "Groovy Girl" and the first entry is "Bang The Drum" <3 

It is a house and acid percussive groover of a mix that will hopefully have you raving where ever you are. Mixed on two Technics 1210 M5Gs and a Pioneer A9 Mixer, plus some overdubs on the recording. 

This release is a Mix CD tracked so you can jump back over and over to your favorite part. The CD insert has photos of all of the records I used for the mix in order.

I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed making it. Can't wait to get started on the next in the series!!

*** You can buy a digital version of the mix on Nina ***

Rosy Ross — Live From The Cause (THE CAUSE PRES. - JAN '24)

I recorded this mix in 2018 for the Her Damit festival and titled it the Mystery of the Motherbeat. I was hungry to tour Europe for the first time and agreed to do a mix and play the festival on a shoestring budget. Her Damit went into bankruptcy later that year, failing to pay artists and others for their work.  They also let their Soundcloud account expire, losing all the mixes they commissioned for the series. 

I am re-releasing this mix under its original name. Its real name. It is one of my deepest mixes. It is filled with the love and hope for the future that I put into it. It was recorded a week before I went to visit Maya and Brooke for the first time in March of 2018, exactly two years ago. That visit would change my life.
