UNITE! Music Festival | San Diego Pride (June 2016)

Summer is here and Pride season is in full swing! I am thrilled and honored to be a part of this year’s inaugural UNITE! Music Festival at San Diego Pride; a weekend that’s gearing up to be what feels like is going to be the biggest pride celebration on the west coast this summer. On Saturday night, I’ll be playing at OVERDRIVE at Spin Nightclub, alongside three absolute legends: Ivan Gomez, Nina Flowers and Dawna Montell. I hope you enjoy this podcast. It includes remixes and production work by many fellow UNITE! DJs, including Gomez, DJ Grind (Fri. night), GSP (Fri. night), and Tom Staar (Sat. afternoon), along with amazing new remixes by J Warren & Bret Law, Barry Harris, Johnny Bass, Thomas Solvert and many more. It's been hard not to think about anything other than Orlando lately. And now, more than ever, it's important that we continue owning the gay dance floor as a place to feel safe and to express ourselves. Our music and our celebrations of Pride must not be silenced. I end this podcast with one of the most special remixes in the world to me, my idol, Junior Vasquez’s, 1998 Pride mix of Cyndi Lauper’s “True Colors” – it’s not your typical modern circuit fare, but it’s a very powerful musical journey (in and of itself) which I hope to be able to introduce for the first time to many of my podcast listeners. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone’s beautiful smiles on the dance floor for UNITE!
