LIVE @ THE DROP // THE GET DOWN'S 12 YEAR ANNIVERSARY 4.17.25

PhDJ Immersion Day 4 ~ Phase 6 with Jess

PRIVATE BDAY SET FOR BETH 11.22.25

I had to step away from this mix more than once… not out of avoidance, but because the “pleasure” I was supposed to be chasing felt completely out of reach. Holidays, work, my nervous system doing the absolute most… it all had me tight, overthinking, trying to perform pleasure instead of actually feeling it.

my pleasure wasn’t in the doing…it was in the letting go.
Letting go of control.
Letting go of getting it “right.”
Letting go of the deadline gripping me by the throat.

most honest pleasure I found in this assignment was saying,
“fAck it… fAck me… let life have me for a sec,”
and letting the mix come when it wanted to.
Even submitting it required a little surrender kink/a soft melt into
okay gurl, this is what wants to exist right now. 

Setting:
For my spacey afro-punk dolls and their cosmic besties/the ones floating through the week a little heavy, a little glitter-damaged.

We’re in a dim, star-dusted room where gravity feels optional and everyone’s aura is leaking just enough to be honest.

Intention:
A release portal.
A place to throw dat azz in a healing circle, shake off the residue of the day.

Score and Tech Intentions:
For this Score, I gave my 3 section more space to spark the body and let the energy rise naturally. I added one undeniable 4 peak to lift the room, then landed us in a heavenly, soul-forward 5 so the whole mix could feel like a real end-of-day release (at least for who I was ‘playing’ for).

I also focused on cleaner layering… choosing what leads the story and what supports it.

And huge gratitude to Karen for her words; her feedback helped me shape this mix with more clarity, intention, and ease… oh yeah and pleasure, lol 😝!

TAKE A F*ING RISK // Live @ The Drop // 12.4.25

lyrics:

where did you go, angelina?
why did you take my foolish heart?
i should've known, angelina
i was never right for that part

i could've sworn, angelina
we would get hitched and you'd be a bitch about
getting us there on time
i'd thank the lord for angelina
oh, so i guess the wedding
i'll never be getting
will live in the back of my mind

i never loved you more than when you said goodbye
cause maybe i knew that love wasn't honest if you had to lie
i never loved you more than when you walked away
cause maybe i knew, angelina, you'd never stay

* trumpet solo ;) *

are you coming home, angelina?
i think i'm done trying to hold on to you
i think you should know, angelina
that i'd probably fall again if you wanted me to
and she said i love you so i said it back but i
wished she was you

angelina (demo)

stay. (demo)

I started writing this song when I was living in Berlin, Germany in 2019. I was only there for four months, but I moved there totally alone and didn't know how to speak German. There were times when I thought, "how could I be so stupid? Why did I think I could move to this foreign country and survive on my own?" I had many days like that, but also many days when I felt grateful to myself for taking a leap and doing something totally out of my comfort zone. I did it, and came out on the other side. Each verse of this song was written at a different point in my life, and it wasn't finished until a year after I started it. It feels complete now, and I'm happy and humbled to share it with you.
