Jellyfish's DJ set @ Green Machine in Chicago. September 15, 2024.

Jellyfish @ Green Machine (9.15.24)

For the 132nd entry in the Honcho Podcast Series, we welcome DC's @joann_fabrixx! Joann Fabrixx is a co-founder and resident of Flower Factory, a DC-based queer DJ collective and party series. Having DJed in various spots around the East Coast since 2017, Joann is grateful and excited to collab with Honcho. This mix starts out trippy and clubby, eases down into proggy house and techno, and then picks back up with trance and hardgroove. A crunchy outer shell with a gooey center. Listen to it when you need energy and elevation.

This mix is dedicated to the memory of Bryan Smith, who taught me how to make a mind-bending party happen with whatever glue and string were lying around. Bryan was a cultural and spiritual force in DC, and he will be missed forever. Tell your friends you love them.

Honcho Podcast Series 132: Joann Fabrixx

For 135th entry in the Honcho Podcast Series, we welcome @ketia! ketia is an up-to-no-good self-assigned cyborg, has a keen ear for new and exciting music, alongside a curious, invested approach to community building within the Lisbon and Berlin club scene. Known for their infamous intimate invite-only kit ket events in Lisbon and one of the glitches behind the label and collective, 'kaptcha'. In Berlin, where they reside, they’re deep and sweetly entangled with the modern rituals happening at Berlin’s new ambient listening bar kwia – ketia helps hold space for a different way of connecting through high fidelity sound and intimacy outside of the usual club dynamics. 

Sonically enticed by syncopated drums and twisted rhythms, driven house with groove and breaks married with rave nostalgia. ketia thrives on genre-bending beats connected through vocal-infused tracks that allow for unique storytelling.

For the 136th entry in the Honcho Podcast Series, we welcome @alana_maenad! maenad is musician and multimedia artist based in Brooklyn. Training originally as a classical singer, she found a home in the queer club scene where a strong sense of community and love has inspired her to infuse her djing with emotional vocal tracks and warm sentimental sounds. She seeks constantly to share euphoria found only on the dance floor and to uplift and celebrate trans people. 

This mix is a love letter to Honcho, to Jellyfish, to Mass - to Pittsburgh. I feel so lucky to have gotten my start in that scene, where so many fantastic musicians play with wild abandon; they have inspired me to play exactly what my heart calls for in every moment. I wanted this to be a joyful invitation to dance with me. House and disco classics interweave with groovy, funky newer selections to project love and sunshine. I hope you pour a margarita and enjoy <3

Honcho Podcast Series 136: maenad

Carolina Schutzer aka Cashu (@carol-schutzer) is one of the key figures of São Paulo’s queer underground electronic music scene, where her work constantly communicates urgent political issues. In an attempt to occupy and decentralize the São Paulo scene, Cashu and Carneosso created the Mamba Negra collective, an independent brand which provides a platform for diversified artists. Their street events that usually take place in abandoned and uninhabited locations, such as student and artist squats, push forward the fight for female representation and sexual and gender freedom. The collective was formed in 2013 as a platform for live and organic music and has since solidified into one of São Paulo’s main electronic music parties and expanded to become a Label, Agency and Radio station.

As an active character in São Paulo’s electronic scene, Cashu frequently performs at block parties, small venues and independent collectives. She has played in over 15 cities and participated in several collectives that work for occupying, decentralizing and hacking the Brazilian night scene. She also brings her energy to big clubs and festivals such as Dekmantel Festival in SP, Red Bull Music Academy Festival SP, or abroad in Panorama Bar/Berghain, De School, Unsound Festival.
