Carrie Sours (she/her)

Carrie Sours is a disc jockey, musician, and event host and organizer from Cleveland, OH currently living in Pittsburgh, PA. She is currently a crew member of the Sweet Abyss event series and a resident DJ at Mary’s. She began her record collection at age 4 and came of age in smoke-filled music shops; throughout the 2010s she became involved in Cleveland’s underground hip-hop and electronic music scenes including vanguard queer parties at infamous punk venue Now That’s Class. With a voracious and irreverent approach to genre, she describes her sound as “moody & funky”, fusing emotional and psychedelic dance music with sensual grooves, post-punk, and private press records with an approach born of the DIY, glamour-free creative environment of the Midwest. She loves listening to, playing, and discovering music; along with bakery, sauna, the sounds of birds, and silliness as a sanity play. Amongst other gigs, she has been the announcer of an ice-skating competition and recently soundtracked a lesbian arm-wrestling tournament.


5. A few sentences (or a small paragraph) about the mix Ex. Notes on the mix ///
"This mix has come out of a period of intense change in my life. I opened the mix with a song that used to enchant me when it played weekly as part of a local block on the “extreme” rock radio station when I was 12 or so, and I wanted to evoke a heavy through-line of catharsis, anger, confusion, yearning, pleasure and acceptance (with a tiny bit of cheekiness thrown in for good measure). Some drone for tone-setting (courtesy of my dear friend Ted aka Celestyn), a block of sensual grooves, a detour into psychy chuggers, and altogether a nice spread of sounds and genres for reflective listening. If you enjoyed the mix, drop a line - the personal connections are always meaningful and motivating! I happened to meet the XOXA crew during a sunrise at Barbarella’s Discotheque this past summer - I appreciate being able to contribute to the Blend Series, thanks for having me :) -Carrie"
