With their eclectic range and forward-thinking tracks, MK Ultra (@switchkimx ) casts sonic spells that awaken dormant feelings and unlock new shapes in dancers’ bodies. Named after the CIA mind-control project that involved psychedelics and looped tapes, they orchestrate energetic shifts on the dancefloor with a deft hand and sharp intuition. Also a music journalist, their deeply researched selections will take listeners on a journey through the self — and through music scenes across the globe.
They go back to back with fellow O.rogeny boss Jeer (@jeerond ) to set the scene for Saturday’s eruptions at Rodeo.

thx for all the kind words on the article (linked in my bio), I feel like everyone I danced with throughout the weekend helped me write this. how good it feels to become a mini human machine chugging alongside a crowd of other mini machines, powering the dance factory!

꩜ more about the piece ꩜
What if you must lose yourself to find yourself again? The debut collaborative performance featuring original music by composer/artist OHYUNG and writer/dancer Switch Kim explores the queer potentiality of queer club and rave spaces, presenting them as fertile ground for modern-day ritual that allows oneself to locate their relationship to the collective. Emerge from your putrid chrysalis, confront the initial discomfort of feeling like a stranger to your own body and hand it over as offering to an infinite moment of ecstasy and exorcism. In release, there is connection.
tune into the origin and rise of seoul community radio with station cofounder @vinylricheee and one of our favorite writers, @switchkimx 📡
from initial soundcloud mixes, to scrappy dj gatherings in subterranean spaces, to its current status as an independent hallmark of electronic music in korea and beyond. hyper-development of the nation’s capital threatens it all

this freestyle is a love letter to 2024 ~ everything I’ve learned, all the teachers I’ve had the privilege of encountering, all the people and new experiences who shaped me, all the parts of myself I discovered ❣️
in the middle of the year I decided to start seriously training in dance at a consistency that I haven’t done since high school. I wanted to learn all the styles I had wanted to know since I was a child. I was so used to doing rigid choreography but I wanted to freestyle for the first time. improvisation is so new to me, but i’ve fallen in love with it - and myself in the process. this one was focused on waving. this is me becoming water, the piano, the strings.
song: merry christmas mr. lawrence - ryuichi sakamoto
more freestyles to come in my stories !
my first for the @guardian 🙏🏼 spoke to trans and nonbinary people across the US about how top surgery changed their relationships to themselves and their bodies. this is part of a series on breasts and I thought, well how do we queer this and make it about the lack of breasts?
so grateful for @l.nuzzles@tingrolls & @ezramichelmusic for sharing their stories and for the trust. gorg photos by Sofie Hecht and @theirnameisricardo ~~ read it now on THE GUARDIAN DOT COM !
ATEEZ GLOSSIESSS!!! found the print edition of my @gq feature and my hands were shaking flipping through the pages 🥹 it’s always an honor seeing your byline in a REAL PHYSICAL THING ! and feels even better that my words are next to amazing pics by @ericraydavidson and styling by @branduh . custom font by @chrispanicker that makes it so Y2K sparkly ✨💖 thank you for reading and for the warm response again!

I don’t think I can love and live fully in just one language, it must be all of them. 나는 한 언어 만으로 완전히 사랑하고 살 수 없는 거 같아, 모든 언어로 해야 한다. thank you LA for being the place I can be all of it. 내가 그 모든 것이 될 수 있는 곳이 되어준 LA에 고맙다 ☁️
