Her community-driven ethos and centrality to the trans and queer global dance community lends her joyous musical creation a necessary political edge.

I wanted to DJ badly but didn\u2019t really have record stores that carried 12\u201d singles where I grew up and I didn\u2019t have friends who wanted to go to a record shop. So other than some mail order and occasional pick-ups when visiting a city as a teenager, I had a hard time getting records to DJ so I put my focus into making dance music instead.\n          <\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            Fast forward to 2010 and I\u2019ve moved to Brooklyn and finally had access to record stores and started to really collect records. A year or so later I picked up a set of Technics 1200 MK2s and started to practice and a few years later when I had more confidence I started to DJ out at clubs.\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            <b>What was the first set you ever played?<\/b>\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            My first performances were in basements and rec halls as a teenager playing electronic live sets with friends. My first DJ sets would have been in Brooklyn playing back room dance floors in bars or in venues like Bossa Nova Civic Club with my friend Kellam Matthews.\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            One of the first DJ sets I ever played was in 2013 at Mercat in Melbourne while on tour with my friends Magic Touch and Bobby Browser. I didn\u2019t bring records with me so my friends convinced me to try playing on CDJs and either we burnt some CDs or I used their CDs to DJ that night with them. I had the best time and returned home wanting to focus some more on DJing.

I wouldn\u2019t be the artist I am all these years later if it weren\u2019t for my work with her!\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            <b>How has your local scene shaped your mixing and curation?<\/b>\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            I live in the woods of New Hampshire which does not have a local scene for this music, but there are a number of people I admire who I have known for years that inspire me constantly like MX Blaire, Faited, Beige, ADAB, Kiernan Laveaux, Russell E.L. Butler, CCL, Introspekt, Colored Craig, Ketia, Fafi Abdel Nour, Justin Aulis Long, to name just a few people. The wider queer community seems to be making more space for itself and I feel there are a lot of impactful artists that are coming out of these spaces.\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            <b>What\u2019s the most memorable set you\u2019ve ever played?<\/b>\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            One of the most important sets I\u2019ve ever gotten to play was in 2018 when I asked Eris to play with me all night for a residency at Good Room in Brooklyn called \u201cFrendzone.\u201d Eris and I were starting to get booked on line-ups together but separately. That night was the first time Eris and I really DJed together and it was for eight hours. It was such a heart-connected night that we planned to do it again. That led to us starting T4T LUV NRG originally as a party series.\n          <\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-281341\" class=\"content_block paragraph embed triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\">\n    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Frendzone with Octo Octa &amp; Eris Drew @ The Lot Radio 07\/26\/2018\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6-NCths4n7Q?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-281345\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<p>\n            <b>What excites you about the future of nightlife?<\/b>\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            I am not a vinyl-purist, but I do only play records and I highly encourage young DJs to learn the skill as well. Even if they don\u2019t play records out, having the skill to mix records will only make them a better DJ. Previous years have been lean when it comes to vinyl DJs, meaning that I don\u2019t see records being played out too often. What I have recently found so exciting is that I have now met lots of young, typically queer, DJs who also want to play records. That gives me a lot of hope \ud83d\ude42\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            <b>What DJ trend needs to end?<\/b>\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            Saying there are too many DJs. As long as someone wants to invest the time and energy into working in this art form then I want everyone who wants to do it to do it. Creative fields do not have occupancy caps; if something creative inspires you to want to do it then go for it!\n          <\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            <b>How would you describe your FADER mix?<\/b>\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            This is me channeling the B96 Street Mix. I was born in Chicago and spent the earliest part of my life in the suburbs before my family moved to New Hampshire. During that time the car radio played an important role unless you had a tape deck in the car so a number of stations were imprinted into my brain as a young girl. B96 was one of them. Fast forward to meeting Eris, she starts going on <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube<\/a> and begins pulling up all the uploaded tape recordings of the B96 Street Mix that people saved from the 90s. This delights me because it reignites memories of Chicagoland radio stations for me. So this mix points to that.\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            <b>Where did you record the mix? Describe your surroundings<\/b>\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            I recorded this in my studio at home. I live in a log cabin with Eris in New Hampshire. My studio is on the second floor in a lofted area and the windows look out on the forest in the backyard. It\u2019s finally spring here and I have the windows open after a long winter here at home.\n          <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"author\">\n    <span><br \/>\n      By <span class=\"credit_name\">Tobias Hess<\/span><br \/>\n  <\/span><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
