#056 Atemporalidad

  • febrero 27, 2024 19:00

«This mix is an example of both the timelessness and wide range that exists within dance music. Not only do these tracks span from the late 80s to just a few months ago, the sound varies across the dance music spectrum. For me many of these sounds are what have drawn me to the dance floor over the years, helping to combat both my social anxiety and gender dysphoria; they are what have reminded me many times that being Queer and loving the things you love puts you in community with so many other like minded radical folks. My hope for whoever listens is that you can resonate with my love for these tracks, the artists that created them!»

«Esta mezcla es un ejemplo tanto de la atemporalidad como de la amplia gama que existe dentro de la música de baile. Estas canciones no sólo abarcan desde finales de los 80 hasta hace sólo unos meses, sino que el sonido varía en todo el espectro de la música de baile. Para mí, muchos de estos sonidos son los que me han atraído a la pista de baile a lo largo de los años, ayudándome a combatir tanto mi ansiedad social como mi disforia de género; son los que me han recordado muchas veces que ser Queer y amar las cosas que amas te pone en comunidad con tantas otras personas radicales de ideas afines. Espero que quien me escuche se identifique con mi amor por estas canciones y por los artistas que las crearon.»

«Such an exhausting labor, crafting a house set without the feedback of the dancer. Movement and emotion remain the absolute foundational lights leading the collective towards catharsis. Without that symbiosis, what is a statement even worth?
As a result, this mix remains a dialogue purely within myself. Summoning mentors, idols, and peers alike; this vocal heavy selection speaks deeply to formative influences that I hold dear.»

«Es un trabajo agotador crear un set de house sin la reacción de le que baila. El movimiento y la emoción siguen siendo las luces fundacionales absolutas que conducen al colectivo hacia la catarsis. Sin esa simbiosis, ¿qué valor tiene una declaración?
En consecuencia, esta mezcla sigue siendo un diálogo puramente interno. Invocando a mentores, ídolos y compañeres por igual, esta selección vocal habla profundamente de las influencias en la formación que aprecio.»

#053 House is a Spiritual Feeling

  • febrero 6, 2024 19:00

«For me, House music is a 44-year-old genre of music that originated and popularized in the black gay LGBTQ+ nightclub spaces of New York, Chicago, and Detroit that spilled on to influence and inspire the world. House music is a living breathing relic that tells its own story in the hits, the lyrics, the parties, and our legends and legacies in local and worldwide scenes.
House music is a mode of being, a ritualistic euphoria we gather for, a space of praise, connection, and unadulterated feeling, healing and dancing- kind of like church should be, a dance floor where there is room for someone like you.
The mix I made explores a spiritual realm of House music with influences of Jazz, Disco, Gospel, and African and Latin Diasporic sounds.
Its infectious rhythms take you into a certain sentimentality. This is an ancestral conversation twisting into different messages of hope and resilience. The heart, soul, and mind are wrestling with big themes in these transitions. Though breaking through at times to find lightness, this one is meant to go deep. I love that House Music can hold all the multitudes and complexities of being human.»

«Para mí, la música House es un género musical de 44 años que se originó y popularizó en los locales nocturnos de homosexuales negros LGBTQ+ de Nueva York, Chicago y Detroit, y que ha influido e inspirado al mundo entero. La música house es una reliquia viviente que cuenta su propia historia en los éxitos, las letras, las fiestas y nuestras leyendas y legados en escenas locales y mundiales.
La música house es un modo de ser, una euforia ritualista para la que nos reunimos, un espacio de alabanza, conexión y sentimiento sin adulterar, de curación y baile, como debería ser la iglesia, una pista de baile donde hay sitio para alguien como tú.
La mezcla que he hecho explora el reino espiritual de la música house con influencias de jazz, disco, gospel y sonidos de la diáspora africana y latina.
Sus ritmos contagiosos te transportan a un cierto sentimentalismo. Se trata de una conversación ancestral que se retuerce en diferentes mensajes de esperanza y resistencia. El corazón, el alma y la mente luchan con grandes temas en estas transiciones. Aunque a veces se abre paso para encontrar ligereza, este tema está destinado a profundizar. Me encanta que la música house pueda contener todas las multitudes y complejidades del ser humano.»
