«Discos of the 70s were intended to be safe and welcoming spaces
for self-expression and celebration for queer and trans BIPOC communities,
and the music played in these spaces would come to influence the innovators of house music.
This mix focuses on house music’s queer roots in disco, with disco originals, edits,
and current house tracks that reference these roots or otherwise feel “timeless.”
Also sprinkled throughout are personal deep house fantasy favorites.»
