Bay Area (by way of DC, FL, TX, GA, MN) lifelong club music lover sharing mixes from more than a decade of home mixing.  

This is dance music, queer, electronic, pop, dark, house, playful, thick, healing. I love building sets that mix recent music with the retro gay bar music I grew up on. 

Village Station, The Dry Gulch, Remington's, Backstreet (Sarasota), Tracks (Tampa and DC), Phase 1 (DC), Cobalt (DC), Black Cat (DC), Ricky J's (Sarasota), Masquerade (ATL) and more are my foundational spots. But none so much as the years, starting around age 12, of tapes of DJ sets passed to me by my Aunt Nell who was a music forager for many Dallas gay DJs.  This was my soundtrack. 

The Trestle (Dallas), Throckmorton Mining Company (Dallas), Sue Ellen's (Dallas), Numbers (Houston), and so many more. 

During a time of isolation, and recovering from personal cycles of roughness, music has been reliable medicine. Art, joy, the life at night.
I'm inseparable from connected lit paths, shine building, fueling the dance on roads out and towards and through. Inseparable from what the music gives - freedom, confrontation, safety, pleasure, sass, and more.

My goal is to keep creating, playing online, playing for friends. I also make club music history projects, run a Fantasy Gay Bar Playlist "League" and listen to everything. 

And with that, I welcome you to play in these sounds. Take the road out and around. Dance all fucked up and weird. Sing it, shake it. 

I call out to the foundational and the futuristic. 
We are all here. 
We must get each other free. 
Let's dance.
