For those looking for more back-of-the-crate song selection. For listeners who want to be exposed to music they might not have otherwise heard. For those who already enjoy alternative dance music and attend curated nights. Playful, camp, and whimsical energy with music that is dance-oriented and makes you want to “jump”.
The goal for our curation is highlighting artists that specialize in genre-fusion, and that mix modern and diasporic sounds in ways that are oftentimes overlooked. Our collective is composed of Trans/Queer artists of color and aim to differentiate ourselves through intentional music curation, highly-editorial visual storytelling, and the inclusion of drag performers, dancers, and more.
