Flemish.Fetish @ Good Room ~ XOXA Pride 2025

Chaia is an electronic composer working at the intersection of Yiddish culture and electronic club music. She weaves archival Yiddish samples with techno and ambient frameworks, creating hybrid folkloric-electronic compositions that situate ancestral sound within global and liberatory rave ecologies.

Notes on the Mix ///

"This mix is an hour-long meditation on YIDDISH RITUALS, from witchy incantations to bathing ceremonies by moonlight. I selected Yiddish folksongs and interviews from various archives describing rituals long gone or still practiced today. I combined these rituals with a meditative mix of glittery techno and house. Pairs best with dancing barefoot in the moonlight🌛"

XOXA BLEND 261 - Chaia

2 pc. (she/her)

Kira Ibañez is the founder and organizer of XOXA - this is her debut DJ set under the name 2 pc. Having spent almost a decade working in music and nightlife in NYC, she gained priceless experience: sweating in coat checks at clubs to slinging merch at Broadway shows to managing departments & teams at festivals to setting up trade shows at The Javits Center to running and hosting events for the nightlife community. She's now settled in London with frequent trips over to NYC (her forever home).

When starting XOXA in 2017, she decided to use her experience and love of underground music and its culture to create a night that was missing at the time - a queer centered all inclusive party focused on house music and community. The goal was to uplift and shine a light specifically on women, non binary, trans and QTPOC artists in the underground and bring a more accessible party to queers and allies who didn’t fit inside the boxes of the nightlife status quo. 

Over the years it’s expanded globally but still kept a focus on its roots in community and uplifting marginalized talent. Now it includes a global database of over 260 mixes and counting, a booking agency, a selection of residents and extended DJ family and a rotating selection of music focused events from NYC to Berlin, and now London and Edinburgh (with the occasional pop up in other cities around the world).

Notes on the Mix /// 

"This mix was live recorded the morning after my wedding, just south of Puerto Morelos in the Riviera Maya - Yucatán, Mexico. I woke up ten minutes before my set with a splitting headache and hurried downstairs to DJ for the first time. My parents and friends were waiting with cameras and I can't say I was in good sorts but as soon as I started I got into the zone and felt like it just flowed so nicely. I had intentionally picked the first set of the day at noon to kick off a BBQ/Pool Party with a bunch of established DJs on after. I wanted this set to be the one people woke up to that day - the jazzy downtempo beats coaxing them out of their rooms to start breakfast or get in the pool. The mix starts a bit more open format style with tropical inspired tunes then into some indie dance, electro, disco and classic house tracks that always make me feel happy. Shoutout to my partner Panooc who worked with me on it and patiently explained how to mix and select tracks that make sense. 

After the wedding my friend Heidy P. suprised me by putting the set on her show on Radio Quantica. Listening back I was so critical and down on the mixing - I decided I didn't want to put it up on my SoundCloud. I sat on it for over a year and happened to listen back with a friend - the time had given me new perspective and I realized I am super proud of my selections and intentions with this mix. Plus I think I did pretty well considering the lack of sleep and wedding hangover. I hope you enjoy this and take it as peek into my brain and also a very important day in my life!"

Notes on the Mix ///

"The mix starts off with deep, rolling cuts and vibrant textures that draw you in from the very first moments. The first half is uplifting and full of motion: trancy, colourful, and groovy. Then the energy gradually shifts into darker territory, ending in a tribal, hypnotic space. I put this mix together with the idea of creating a sound journey that feels both energising and immersive, whether you're at home, on the dancefloor, or just drifting somewhere in between."

PETAL (she/they/them)

Petal Rose is a NY-native, Brooklyn-based producer, DJ, and organizer attempting to nurture the community’s heartbeat. Raised by God-fearing Guyanese immigrants, music was never taken seriously unless it was in the context of the church. By playing in symphony, they love to meld footwork, club, and techno to create a unique drum-focused melodic vibe. They’ve graced the stage all around NYC, including Le Bain, 3 Dollar Bill, The Lot Radio, and Mood Ring. 


Notes on the Mix ///

"For most of my best mixes, they’ve always come after significant personal events (i.e., romantic or platonic breakup). This summer has been kind to me, so I decided to try something different for this mix. Instead of turning lemons into lemonade, I made toast from freshly baked bread. I recorded this sonic collage after a multi-day bender during which I felt the happiest I’ve been in years.

Like the bender itself, the mix begins hopeful, moves into a playful, extremely horny vibe, gets a bit raucous, but then ends on a blissful note. Staying mindful and practicing gratitude have brought me so far in this stage of my life, and this mix reflects that journey. I hope I never forget all of these moments, relationships, and feelings, both good and bad. That’s mainly why I made this mix hahaha.

I’d recommend listening to this during a long commute or a workout. It’s got just the right amount of groove and variety for everyone, but the real yearners will appreciate it most. Please enjoy these romance-induced sonic aftershocks.

And thank you for taking the time to read this, if you did.

Love,

Petal"

Club Chow (he/they)

Club Chow is a Taiwanese-American DJ based in Chicago. An omnivorous selector, he blends music across genres and eras with a common euphoric undercurrent. Club Chow's taste and energetic mixing have made him a resident of Steamworks bathhouse, a staple at SmartBar and Podlasie Club, and a sought-after guest DJ at queer underground parties around the US.

Notes on the Mix ///

"This mix consists of mostly older house records that I've recently purchased long blended with some interstitial bandcamp finds as well. I had the goal of trying to tell a coherent story while editing down to stick to a more concise (1-hourish) length of time. I ended up with an assemblage of house tracks that share a 'classic' sounding palette and have some pump, jittery highs, evocative vocals, or some other deep quality that caught my ear - hopefully they resonate with you as well!!"

Tube (he/him)

Tube is a DJ and multidisciplinary artist originally from Bogotá, recently relocated to the US. For him, the dancefloor is where he truly connects with himself—a space of freedom that lets him express who he really is.His sound moves confidently between (but is not limited to) reggaeton, club, electro, UK garage, and techno. His sets feel raw and sensual, designed to spark a visceral connection between body and rhythm. His goal as a DJ is to return the favor—to create that same sense of freedom and agency for others and to own the spaces where he feels most alive and happy.For Tube, “queer joy” is just as important and revolutionary as “queer rage,” and much of his work and productions exist somewhere between these two poles.

Notes on the Mix ///
"This 1 hour mix is a fast, sweaty ride through club sounds that feel most alive to me: techno, electro, UK garage, hardgroove, and everything in between. It prioritizes momentum and physicality over neat genre boundaries.The tracklist wasn’t planned out in detail; it came together almost instinctively. It’s less about building a perfect arc and more about expressing whatever needed to come out in that moment. The mix features a number of tracks by Latin American artists, reflecting a deep connection to the sounds and communities that continue to shape underground dance music. It’s raw, percussive, and built for the dancefloor. But is a dancefloor you can take anywhere with you. There’s definitely some chaos in there, but it finds its own rhythm naturally. Things shift, speed up, get messy, and then click back into place. It’s raw, emotional, a little unpredictable — and made to be felt more than analyzed.

Notes on the Mix ///
"I loved making this mix specifically for XOXA. Live shows have their own electricity, but I had a lot of fun translating that into this recorded set, and I hope it makes someone move as much as it made me grin while recording it. I move through life with a blend of playful chaos and intensity, and this set is my attempt to capture some of that spirit."
