Walter

Hazzi spent years dancing his heart out in Brooklyn’s queer nightlife before jumping on the decks. His genre-less sets bring bouncy energy that’ll get you moving and vocals that will get those emotions out! Pretty Gay Friendly is a Los Angeles–based DJ known for groove-driven sets rooted in disco and house. A regular presence in LA’s queer nightlife and on radio platforms like dublab, his selections prioritize flow, rhythm, and connection on the dancefloor. Walter channels the raw pulse of house, techno and machine funk, weaving soulful analog textures and jacking rhythms into tightly crafted vinyl sets. Raised in NYC, he fell in love with electronic music in the warehouses of LA, and now splits his time between both cities.

I’m back on the internet radio waves today for another episode of Let’s Be Friends with my guest @wal.to Not only is Walter a very good friend of mine, so it makes for an extra special episode but this episode also lands during @dublab ’s membership drive. One of the many reasons I love about @dublab is their commitment to community, connection, and giving people space to share so many different stories and perspectives through music. Independent radio like this only exists because people genuinely care and support it. If you are able to, you can become a monthly member for as little as $5, get a few extra perks along the way, and help keep dublab running and continuing to support artists, DJs, and voices from all over. Tune in today from 4 to 6 PM on dublab.com Let’s be friends Walter channels the raw pulse of house, techno and machine funk, weaving soulful analog textures and jacking rhythms into tightly crafted vinyl sets. Raised in NYC, he fell in love with electronic music in the warehouses of LA, and now splits his time between both cities.

Friday night: warm room, low lights. Your groove specialists for the night Walter, Jake & Silktits (MTL) slow burn into fast pace. Sway a while 🪩👠

absolutely on music @Haus73 with Walter Some nights don’t need exaggeration. They unfold naturally, with clarity, cohesion, and that rare sense of alignment where every set feels connected to the next. The latest edition of absolutely on music was one of those evenings - the chemistry between the artists, the way the records complemented each other, the shared understanding of space and groove - all of it felt close to perfection. A special highlight came courtesy of Walter from New York, who delivered a superb house set rooted in timeless groove. Deep, driving, soulful without drifting - his pacing anchored the space and provided a steady foundation for the night’s arc. It was house music in its purest sense: functional, emotional, and locked into the moment. Full streams now online - tune in, lean back, get lost.

The first time we linked up with @wal.to , the rain shut us down, and with him moving to New York in just five days, we had one shot to make it happen. He’s as old-school as it gets, and this Chicago & Jackin’ House mix is a testament to that 🤍 LA just lost one of the good ones, but before @wal.to headed back home to the east cost, he left us with this high-energy, soulful mix — a proper sendoff packed with choppy samples, bouncy synths, and pure Jackin’ House spirit 💃🕺 🔗 in bio for the full video

Very, very excited about the inaugural episode of COLOUR CODED tonight w/ cutie @wal.to & myself on @n10.as Colour Coded is a monthly radio show inspired by color. We use a color randomizer to select the color and this month was Sulfur Yellow. We hope it gets you moving for your weekend and starts you off on the right foot.
