Bouffant Bouffant Is Burning... #82

@dee_diggs plays with a sense of rapture that can be soft or heavy, but is always fun. The East Coast selector is Brooklyn-based, and that's where her House of Diggs party offers a place for marginalized groups to express and organize themselves. Next to this, she has a residency at Public Records but no matter where she plays, you can be sure it is always with real respect for the Black roots of house, techno and disco while touching on everything from sensual grooves to euphoric thumpers. 

This week's mix is a seat-of-your-pants selection that is unashamedly party-focussed. The good vibes flow from the first moment as Dee races through passionate house and vocal laced classics. There are moments of all-out hands in the celebration next to boogie workouts and a heart-swelling Mariah Carey edit. It's a quick, tight, and impossibly enjoyable listen from this cultured party-starter.

For th 110th entry in the Honcho Podcast Series, we welcome @fivefivefivefivefive!. Five is a New Orleans born DJ currently living in San Francisco. ‘Club’ music in a very broad sense of the term has been a mainstay in Five’s DJ sets through the years, but a focus on classic house music directs the overall sound following some recent years of access to digging in record shops throughout NYC.

Five is also one-half of the DJ duo Babygirl, who’s sound fixates on the raw, fun, and sexy energy present within the classic house music sound. For this mix I wanted to keep that same energy, but take things a little slower as we get into the thick of Summer. New and old favorites, some surprises, and plenty of moments to feel the Love because… (Love is the message)

This two hour mix is a live recording of Five's set at Quiche during San Francisco Pride 2022. Enjoy!

Influences: Everything from Japanese house, 90's freestyle, reggae and dancehall, italo disco, and film scores to the ambient sounds of walking down a busy city street!
 
Affiliations/Residencies/Projects: I'm super grateful to currently have two monthly residencies here in Pittsburgh. The first being Jellyfish at P Town Bar, which I throw (and play) with my musical cohort, Ricky Moslen (and Adam Shuck when he's back in the US). The second is called Take Care, which occurs every fourth Saturday of the month at Cobra Lounge. I'm also newly on the board at the Associated Artists of Pittsburgh, so I'll be involved in a few projects there.

Ron Like Hell provides eclectic sets venturing into obscure international sounds, Techno, Synth, House, Acid and Disco which are appreciated by some of the most discerning dance floor enthusiasts.

Approaching a dj mix as assemblages, Ron Like Hell aligns sound with emotion, focusing on texture to create psychedelic soundscapes, imaginative spaces for comfort and surprise spectators with an unexpected crafty transition. With 27+ years of making people dance in numerous countries along with years of vinyl shop experience and music promotion, his/their role in the industry is unique and influential. Their latest production, EXALT is their dream come true where Ron selects a personally beloved dj to play solo then close out the night together with a b2b set. EXALT's first guest was Matrixxman in April 2022 at Basement in Ridgewood-Queens, NY. Ron also djs as Wrecked, a music first queer dance party which will turn 12 in March of 2023.

Notes on the Mix ///
"Created deep from the bottom of my heart respectfully for the queer community in my off kilter multi-genre inclusive style this live in one take mix includes vinyl and cdj media. Mash-ups sit near disco originals, disco sampled 90s house thumpers meet modern deep tech house
pumpers and adjacent to all that, unashamed sassy vocal house is celebrated too. I also featured a few productions by some friends near and far: a trend that I can not shake since creating mixes during the 2020 shutdown. Overall, I wanted this mix to be a version of near
perfect just as when we go out and hear DJs at the club where a perfect blend is a fortunate dream come true and also some skips or light off the beat-mixing reminds us of our beautiful mortality. I feel the intention and soul of the dj is revealed when those moments are noticed. I hope everyone who follows the XOXA mixes and parties will play this mix before they head out to a party this Fall and Winter and beyond :)"
