07 Amerikkka Is Burning / GEMINI mix DANA
Ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication, Gemini is a lover and a fighter rolled into one. Chicago’s Soraya Alem aka DANA has curated a mix for us with deep textured sounds, colorful chords and basslines propelling the inspiring powerful voices of Black artists.
Her mix harnesses the much needed revolutionary energy we need right now to keep the movement going and reminds us there is still so much work to be done. DANA showcases the power of house music and how it can be full of rage and love, a duality that brings with it reflection.
“House music was the reason I moved to Chicago and it’s what reminds me to keep going when I’m feeling completely defeated. This mix is my love letter to house music, to the people who made it and the revolution.” - DANA
DANA also runs Club Bubble 1 with her Taurus partner Jarvi aka Acid Daddy on Twitch.tv. Tune in this Sunday 12pm CST - 9:30pm CST for a collaboration with Mesh, a queer centered underground party in Pittsburgh run by Sisgirl and Chadkid, known for their ethereal and dreamy spaces.
