Sublime. Are you fucking kidding me? Ok ... looking up tour dates now.

After further review, the ruling on the field stands...this is the best mix of 2022

In lovecwith this set, Eli! C’est La Ouate was a huge surprise!

Because of our weekly 2-hour radio show, making and releasing mixes is something we don't get around to often. They tend to require too much energy and often end up feeling ephemeral, a drop in a bucket that's already full to the brim.

This 5.5 hour mix is a live recording from us, Paul Raffaele & Barbie Bertisch, DJing at 718 Sessions on Sunday November 21, 2021, a gig we recently played that meant a lot to us. Benny Soto and Danny Krivit will celebrate their 19th anniversary next week and the party has long served as a beacon of light in our world: a place to learn, be with chosen family, release the pressure and experience joy.

This lineup was originally booked for March 22, 2020 but it was cancelled due to COVID. Luckily, the same lineup was revived for the party's return to indoor dancing, taking place at Good Room in Brooklyn. This night was particularly special because it was the first time we would play 718 Sessions, our favorite party, as a duo.

In a pivot from what one might expect from our sets, we made a conscious effort not to play any Garage or Loft classics to widen the musical offering of the party and avoid overlap with Danny in the main room. Some mixes are great, some aren't, but in a bit of a protest to today's world digital perfection, we've kept it all in there and serves as a record for one of our favorite nights DJing together ever.

We recorded line in from the mixer but also the sounds of the room, blending music and crowd together and resulting in what you'll hear throughout the mix. It's an effort to capture some of the room's energy and not just a collection of songs one after the other.

Our style is representative of an amalgamation of the DJs we grew up listening to and studying, most intensely: Joaquin 'Joe' Claussell, François Kevorkian, Danny Krivit, Colleen 'Cosmo' Murphy, Louie Vega, Dope Jams, Theo Parrish, but there are many more. Thank you for the inspiration.

Love Injection live at 718 Sessions (November 21, 2021)

When you see @carrieondisco is playing, you know you're going to have a good time, and this epic mix is no exception. In Carrie's words:

"I wanted to start the year off with some Joy, nothing says Joy like Gospel and Disco. There a lot of Brixton and Queer Nation classics from back in the day. Enjoy <3"

Polycast 9: CarrieOnDisco - Sarah's Sunday Service

This is me warming up the room... thus is why you’ll hear me play long drawn out tracks & some throwbacks in the first 25 or so minutes. I wanted to set a sensual, warm, welcoming tone for the rest of the night. 

I saved all the bangers for when the floor was starting to get packed. Funny enough my recorder’s battery died after the Hex Hector Whitney Houston remix I played. There is another 32 minutes of the set lost to our memories, but the recorder’s timing literally makes my intuition tingle. Maybe we did conjure and dance with the most legendary of angels that night. 

Enjoy the archived feelings and rhythms of this night I will never forget.

Track list to come!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Let me set the scene:

This set was my last live performance of 2021. This set in the main room of the Knockdown Center (my first time playing that side of things) was my victory lap on my home turf. Many shows in town had cancelled that night because of the endless virus surges, but some of us really needed this. So I showed up to play my part. 

After a year like 2021, when my DJ career snapped back like a rubber band and picked me up out of very pessimistic place, I needed this.

I am so grateful that I got to play this show with Ash Lauryn and Honey Diijon. Two djs I really admire and look up to! 

Ash said something to me back stage that illuminated how legendary this lineup was simply because of who we are: 3 generations of black women DJ’s carrying a very holy torch of love, light, & musical legacy by way of house music. :')

4AM NYC is a DJ, producer and educator currently based in Queens, NY. They are a dual citizen of the United Kingdom and the United States: comin up through the fashion underworld of London as a teen; finding their way to the musical motherland of NYC as an adult.
   For over a decade they have served dancefloors the world over: New York, London, Pittsburgh, Detroit and beyond - holding down residencies with their own party series Spiritual Mental Physical at beloved NYC night clubs such as Good Room, Le Bain, and Jupiter Disco. Known as a vinyl assassin like no other, they provide nights of music unbound by genre, dedicated to dancers; ruled by a furious and vivid emotional spectrum. Their delivery is always uncompromising and energizing, passionate and sincere.
   This mix for Deep South ATL is an homage to the era of 'Dream House' that continues to inspire 4AM to this day: the heart-racing sweat-dripping soul-quenching delights of that good deep garage house pouring out of NY, NJ, Chicago and Detroit in the late 80's & 90's. All-vinyl, one-take mix. Recorded on x2 Technics 1200s, and an Omnitronic analog rotary mixer.
   2022 sees 4AM NYC self-releasing original productions long overdue, and continuing their community work in the role of talent booker/'Mutha of the House' at Jupiter Disco, Wednesday-thru-Saturday nights.

CARRY BLOWOUT BLITZ: ELI ESCOBAR

Everything's more beautiful in hindsight. 
IDK why that is.
 Here's something to mark 2022, to archive where I'm at on this hybrid- digital meets vinyl sound journey. 

Sometimes you listen to the recording and it reveals you had a real squeeze on the room and the vibes reflected are a pleasant surprise. As always listening back was a reckoning with my fIaws forcing me to deep listen and switch on some self acceptance til my mistakes become poetic mishaps meant to coax the message thru. I was touched seeing the divine feminine magnetizing in my sound and bringing the gurlz to the front of the dancing crowd at the Great Northern in San Francisco where this was recorded live - post-thanksgiving weekend in Nov 2022. Jazzy, sexy, manic, strange, grown, and very much me. Enjoy it!

Special thanks to @polyglamorous-club

HNYPOT 379: Carrie Morrison's  SLAVE   TO   L♡VE

The Carry Nation (Nita Aviance and Will Automagic) are DJs and producers whose style is deeply rooted and fundamentally intertwined with the historical arc of New York City's most affirming nightlife experiences. Nita is a noted member of the legendary House of Aviance. She started DJing around the turn of the millennium and was a resident at the infamous Mr. Black and Westgay, both touchstones for queer artistry and culture in downtown nightlife of the early 2000's. Will has deep roots in NYC club culture, having worked at The Loft and collaborated closely with David Mancuso, holding residencies at many of the downtown New York clubs over the years including The Limelight, Life and Vandam. After dividing his time between NYC and Paris, working on music with fashion houses such as Issey Miyake, Vivienne Westwood and Yves Saint Laurent, Will returned to DJing dance floors when he co-created SPANK with partners Sean B & Jason Roe. What started as a basement dance party evolved into a roving art-based warehouse party along with a namesake zine. SPANK began to work closely with Horse Meat Disco and the close relationship with that crew has extended in various forms through the years into the present.

Currently, Nita and Will perform globally as both individual DJs and, more often, as a duo --they are most recognized for epic extended B2B sets and their wildly successful monthly queer party (also known as The Carry Nation) at Brooklyn's Good Room. Their range is wide and exciting, and in the New York tradition they effortlessly flow through genres and time periods while keeping a modern edge. Since the inception of The Carry Nation, the duo has toured the world extensively including Glastonbury’s Block 9 and Berlin’s Berghain/Panorama Bar among many others. They also have a residency at Ladyfag's flagship monthly Battle Hymn. As producers, their credits include releases and remixes on Get Up Recordings, Classic Music Company, TRIBAL, Nervous, TRAX, Batty Bass, TWIRL, W&O Street Tracks and more. Their latest venture is Major Records, an imprint they co-founded with Justin Cudmore to showcase their Majorettes collaboration with releases that are setting dancefloors alight with a fresh but classic house vibe that stays rooted in the excitement of New York’s history and underground.
