This is a long lost house set I recently recovered (yay!) from an old hard drive. 🥹🥹🥹🥹 This party was really special because I not only got to warm up the patio for the legendary Ron Trent, it happened to be part of my bachelorette party weekend just weeks before I got married. Deep, housey, chill, afternoon patio party vibes. Were you there??

If you missed my stream last weekend and you are craving some spooky sounds for this most cursed of all seasons, you can listen to the whole hour on YouTube. No talking in this stream, just a mix of ambient, drone, downtempo, and leftfield electronic music.

With this post, I ask you to learn about SAGE, the organization recipient of our fundraiser during this stream. https://www.sageusa.org/

SoundCloud version will be posted in the comments.

Podlasie Club , you brought the best out of me last night! The upgrades look great and I had a blast! And I couldn't have asked for better musical co- conspirators than Chachi Guerrero and flower food. 🩷

Early warning! Bless This Mess is turning 3 years old and I'm thrilled to be a part of it! Join us at a secret location in Chicago 5/7/22! Ticket link will be in the comments.

Well, it seems FB took away the ability to create polls. 😞 I need some input from you all! I'm planning on doing a pop up stream on Twitch later. So.... what type of music should I play while streaming later tonight? (Give a 👍 for a energetic club-style house/techno set or a ❤️ for chilled out ambient/downtempo/soundbath set).

Columbus, you were wonderful! Thank you 💞

Well this was an awesome surprise! I did a random impromptu stream on Twitch last night to unbox and test my new TD-3 (the gear was my parents' bday gift to me). To my delight, a friend was listening and decided to sync up his gear to jam along with me!! How cool! Check out his music at https://jplusjplusj.com/ if you want to watch my dj set I streamed on my birthday or this random little gear test, they're both up on my Twitch channel.

Musical Recipe

Influenced by the sounds of Berlin, Detroit, and Chicago, Kiddo's style is a melding of numerous genres of current and classic techno and house music. Her sets may range anywhere from glitchy, shuffling micro-house to sexy, melodic tech-house to more dark and sinister techno. Lately she's been moving the dance floors with seamless techno and electro mixes and the occasional jackin' house cut thrown in for good measure. She is known for her enthusiasm behind the turntables, connecting with the dance floor through the combination of a charismatic smile and energetic mixing.
