thank you all so much for the love for this mix both on here & on youtube! in case you missed it, posting a few clips here from my @cafe_1001 set recorded in London back on 8/29 that aired this past sunday. link in my bio to watch full playback. 🫟 I have to say, this was the first all vinyl mix that I wasn’t overly nervous for (I don’t think i’ll ever get used to being recorded DJing). I had decided to just let myself have fun; the way I would be if I were just jammin/mixing in my house. 🫟 I was able to embrace the imperfections this time, & got some really dope moments i’m proud of & am not beating myself up over what I know I could’ve done “better.” 🫟 I learned so much from this solo trip, and really got to center myself on what I love most about this craft take care of each other 🤲🏿

Midweek Dance Break: Raw House Music ft. ‘70s Soul Samples with @theoretic__ “There is something so fascinating and fearless about the House music that matured leaving the 80s, into the 90s and early 2000s. These records are some of my favorites because they capture that period prior to the complete digital overtaking of the music industry, and where DAWs still didn’t reign supreme for most. The 70s soul/jazz/disco samples (some well-known, some more obscure) featured in these songs tend to be the focal point that adds so much soul, groove and personality to the tracks. These are also songs that would make people of all ages move on the dance floor. I loved taking the time to craft this set and hope you all enjoy it.“ • • Audio gear partners: @audiogold @variainstruments @ortofon_uk @ramar.berlin

what a joy to wish my (not so) baby brother a 30th birthday today 🫂❣️🤗 I hope yall join me in sending him that bday love because he deserves it! i’m so proud of you Chris @cgoesin & love you so much!!! it’s been so beautiful to watch you grow & become a truly good human being over these years. i’ll always remember you being born, always remember asking my parents why you looked white when you first arrived lmao & learning about melanin coming in 😭😭😭. I had 6 yrs without you! I was so spoiled! but am SO grateful I didn’t end up as an only child because lawdddd. never a dull moment with you—I know you always looked up to me, but I also look up to you. everyone that meets you feels so seen. elders, young folks & in between tell me “omg I met your brother, he is the sweetest guy ever.” and it’s true! you’ve always had your stuff together & such a wisdom beyond your years that has taught me & grounded me. you’ve accomplished so much & in so little time. I can’t wait to see what else you do. keep singing, keep learning, keep helping to keep me youthful lol, & never lose that inner child spirit that i’ll always cherish from watching you grow up. I am so happy you’re living your best life now in Oakland. you left what you knew in jersey & are thriving in ways we knew you would & beyond our expectations. I miss you so much but can’t wait to celebrate with you! I could say so much more but you already know. thank you for choosing me to be your sister. ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹 HAPPY 30TH BIRTHDAY CHRIS!!! i’ll always be your built-in best friend for LIFE🎈🎈🎈🎁🎁🎁 - 2nd slide from Chris’ 1st bday party; the whole footage is amazing & full of me wanting all the attention & blowing out his candle LMAO. but this is my favorite part where my mom is talking about the pics she forced me to take when I was sick & chris fighting for more and more cake, & my dad coming over & looking at Chris with pure love. 🥹😢

THIS WAS MY ANNUAL APRIL FOOLS JOKE JUST IN CASE U ACTUALLY THOUGHT THIS MESS WAS REAL 😩🫪😒 what’s good ppl? finally letting yall in on a secret — christian rock is my favorite genre of music. because Nerds gummy clusters is my favorite candy and in this pic, I had just bought the Easter flavor, I figured now is the best time to let yall know before my april gigs that I no longer think it’s holy of me to play secular music. from now on, christian rock is not something i’m gonna hide from audiences. we shouldn’t be ashamed when uber and lyft drivers are playing their favorite Hillsong playlists. it takes bravery & they’ve really given me the courage to finally share this with the world. i’ll be producing new material soon and can’t wait to feature and collab with some of my fave heroes in this genre! thanks for your support over the years and on this new musical journey of mine!

✧✵ Welcome to 𝐒𝐏𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐑𝐀 ✵✧ 27 Mar | 23-5 | @jolenebar Copenhagen A queer- and dance-centered club space that celebrates esteemed and emerging underground artists from the Queer, Trans and BIPOC spectrum around the globe. Expect a wide spectrum of visionary dance and club music while honoring its rich history and culture anchored in NYC and the Midwest US. 𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗘-𝗨𝗣: ✧✵ @theoretic__ (𝗡𝗬𝗖) [they/she] ✵✧ theoretic is a Jersey-raised, Brooklyn-based DJ, producer, educator, and curator entrenched in the heart of Brooklyn’s underground music scene. Their sonic craft fuses House, Techno, Disco, NY Garage, Soul, and Black club music—without limits, across borders. Whether spinning digitally or from their vast record collection, their style is a symphonic medley that compels even the most restrained feet to move. They hold a residency at New York’s iconic queer venue @animal.nyc , and are one-third of @queervinylcollective , a monthly DIY party and cultural preservation series honoring the queer, Black and Brown roots of dance music and nightlife. They have played at acclaimed NYC nightlife institutions including Elsewhere, Good Room, Nowadays, Le Bain, and internationally from London to Toronto, sharing decks with legends such as A Guy Called Gerald and Stacey “Hotwaxx” Hale.

Shaped by years of going to the source—from NYC, Chicago, and Detroit to Tokyo and other cities across Japan, Korea, and Southeast Asia—he approaches DJing as movement-led storytelling: playful, daring, and grounded in the queer lineages of dance music. As an active member of the ballroom, whacking and house dance scenes, he draws on years of shared practice to give dancers’ movements and stories space at the center of the night, where they are lived rather than referenced. ✧✵ artwork by @__jinx ✵✧
