40 MINUTES OF HIGH DECIBEL FURRY FUCKERY

My set for AROO!, a passion project that a bunch of local friends and I have been cooking up for over a year to bring a dedicated furry and queer dance space to Orlando. We were expecting to lose money and just have a fun night fucking with loud PAs in a warehouse right underneath the 408. Instead we had people driving over from up to four hours away to come enjoy our funny gay dog rave music night and sold over a hundred tickets. Despite (or maybe because of) our dipshit fucked state government, so many people felt comfortable going to a space where they could be loud and dress and act like themselves for a night.

So here's forty minutes of me being as much of myself as possible. It's loud and messy and incredibly furry. Actually every song here is either by or edited by a furry, save for two or three songs made by super good friends of furries. I think this is the most saturated form of a goal I started with my vibe night set, of trying to include as much furry music as possible. A really talented dj friend told me to stop trying to blend songs for so long and learn to love drop-mixing, but mashup culture goes so deep with me that I just have too much fun making something new, even if it clashes and gets muddy. stuff like that always sounds better live anyway, something about it. i think it's being sweaty and tired
