For the VIP opening reception of “Mick Rock’s Greatest Hits”, a solo exhibition presented by 15 Mins of Fame Gallery in collaboration with Sailor Jerry’s and Venu Magazine, The Muses cultivated an irreverent jukebox mix of glam rock greats and punk progenitors meant to augment exhibited works and patron inhibitions alike.

Mick Rock Greatest Hits (Mix Preview)

Lovely, dark and deep, this afterparty comedown mix caters to wee hours of nocturnal delight. Drifting from vampy garage romp into a Delphic blend of downtempo splendor, Midnight Special riffs on the sacred in-between space of waking and sleeping consciousness for miles on end.

Midnight Special (Preview)

Previously unreleased, this wide-reaching preview mix provided the initial basis for a recent private event, meeting hospitality client's request for "house, dance, and soul but with a South Asian flair."

A love letter to The Muses' unofficial home and preeminent weekly residency, this live Butterfly Soho megamix features over one hour of open-format favorites transcending time, genre and continent.

Butterfly Megamix

Drawing namesake from the nine-headed, serpentine water beast of Greek and Roman mythology, "Hydra" takes shape with a 2022 spring/summer megamix from The Muses. A mythic amalgamation of jungle house, tropical disco and more, this track takes a bite out of what we're manifesting for the season ahead.

Gitano returns to New York City with the Pride week unveiling of GITANO ISLAND. Joined by The Misshapes, Violet Chachki, Gottmik and Carlos Jadraque, The Muses had the distinct pleasure of closing out the monumental weekend with a celebratory blend of classics and contemporaries, icons and up-and-comers, spanning the gamut from Crystal Waters, Diana Ross, ABBA and Grace Jones to Jodie Harsh, Alok, Kim Petras and Conrad Taylor among others. Featured here is an abridged sample of that set.

The Muses had the recent pleasure of partnering with John Varvatos and friends for a night of rock & roll, house, disco and reckless abandon hosted by Gospel in celebration of the brand’s fw 22 collection debut. For those unable to attend (or those in pursuit of a reminiscent rewind), press play for an hour and a half of live recorded highlights from the evening's special set spanning the gamut from The Velvet Underground and Serge Gainsbourg to Diana Ross and The White Stripes.

Like a ripe summer's day, this abridged set from The Muses rises in sun-washed soul, flows into tropicalia splendor and crashes into fly-by-night jungle house. Meant to be enjoyed only in the best of company with sea salt in your hair, mezcal on the rocks in hand and a body glistening with ample SPF.

MEXICALI | Summer 2023 Mini Mix

Saturday night, 10.21.23. Depeche Mode played a sold-out show at MSG. Mick Jagger dropped by SNL. Spook season was in full effect and The Muses descended upon the fanciful Paradise Club for an evening that would make Hieronymus Bosch blush.

EARTHLY DELIGHTS | Live at Paradise Club

The Muses’ signature disco noir plummets to new depths of dancefloor martyrdom with EYES WIDE STRUT. Think Joan of Arc’s ascension to Alexander McQueen iconoclasm, Hecate as a warm leatherette, a last dance with Địa Mẫu. Layered with tragic synths and underworldly bliss, this lo-bpm/hi-octane sample mix is available in full-length, extended format(s) upon request.

It Girl | Live at Paradise Club (Pride Mix)

Taking influence from Shadow Dancing and Skyfall (Jack and Daniel’s personal favorite Aroma360 scents, respectively), The Muses recently partnered with Aroma360 to craft a celebratory soundscape for the NYFW debut of the SPKR™ XL Scent Diffuser. 
 
The result? A rich and vibrant blend as transcendent of time, genre and culture as Aroma360’s extensive fragrance portfolio.

“'Boom!' is beyond bad, the other side of camp – a film so genuinely beautiful and awful that there is only one word to describe it: perfect. If you don't like this film, I hate you.” John Waters

Drawing inspiration and sonic samples from Joseph Losey's pseudo-seminal 1968 summer flick 'Boom!', The Muses' "Medusa" arrives like an absurdist’s amuse-bouche for all of the glamour and gusto poised to underscore the debut EP coming this fall. Stay tuned
