Each week Little Gay Brother brings you a NEW MIX from selectors and producers, new and established, to get us all excited for the moment we are all waiting for… Our return to the dancefloor.
J. Aria - Rave Mentality Mix for Little Gay Brother (Ep12)
Ep12: J. Aria - “It’s about harnessing that intrinsic energy and magic of queerness and togetherness - our intensities and elegance, our lust and desires, our legacies and our futures”
Maze&Masters - Guilty Pleasures Mix for Little Gay Brother (Ep11)
Ep11: MAZE&MASTERS - "The rave is home. The place where the misfits and miscreants gather together safely unseen by normal eyes. Those who know the rave know the true feeling of freedom, to be exactly who you are. To rave is to release your true self. How many people on the planet have felt true moments of total joy and clarity on the dancefloor? How many people have started out of their front door not knowing when they’ll be back and what’s going to happen in between? Each one of the songs in this guilty pleasures mix represents a time that we’ve lost ourselves on a LGB dance floor in one of those raves, one of those ‘moments’. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did making it!”
CHERIII - Rave Mentality Mix for Little Gay Brother (Ep10)
Ep10: CHERIII - “You are in a space where you can create an extension of yourself by dancing, moving or even to create a fantasy. This moment is yours, time to escape the everyday reality with your people, the family you created. This is what raving means to me”
Marie Malarie - Rave Mentality Mix for Little Gay Brother (Ep9)
Ep9: Marie Malarie - "Raving means entering another dimension of endless happiness and euphoria driven by a never-ending beat in the company of sweaty dancing bodies. Timeless place and space where we can all come together to enjoy the moment with total freedom - and a place of refuge for all genders and sexual minorities. It doesn't matter who you are - you are here, you are queer (or not) - we are here all together, so let’s enjoy ourselves because we can. I mean, I just don't have the words to explain how much raving means to me."
Joshua James - Rave Mentality Mix for Little Gay Brother (Ep8)
Ep8: Joshua James - "Y’all ready for a cheesy answer??? To me, raving is all about community… I’ve met all my closest mates at a rave, be it in a field or some dingy basement. Over the last year and a half, I have felt like I’ve lost a bit of me, raving and clubs are a safe haven for us queers, a place to truly express ourselves and get totally lost in all the drama. Also… there’s nothing better than sweating with strangers. NOUT."
Michelle Manetti - Rave Mentality Mix for Little Gay Brother (Ep7)
Ep7: Michelle Manetti - “I started clubbing / raving pretty young, I was 14 and having a bit of a hard time at school, my older sister and her mates looked after me, took me under their wing and took me to all the big London clubs with them, it was such an escape from everything I was feeling at the time, so eye-opening and genuinely life-changing for me. I instantly became addicted to the music and the dancing and the sense of freedom of expression that I got being in the club. Then when I was 18 I discovered Gay and queer clubs, and that feeling of freedom grew even more.
Serena Horsham - Rave Mentality Mix for Little Gay Brother (Ep6)
Ep6: Serena Horsham - “Raving to me in that safe space you can always come back to, free from everyday matters to centre again, after the hours have passed and the sun has risen, my soul is fed once again."
Super Drama - Rave Mentality Mix for Little Gay Brother (Ep5)
Ep5: Super Drama - “Raving means a lot to us. It's so many things to so many people. It's a place to commune with friends and lovers. It can be a melting pot of ideas, collaboration and fashion. It can be messy and just about shaking loose the daily grind from jobs that pay rent. We miss the little things I guess. Getting ready for a night out together, popping a look on and cartwheeling into the night."
LEXII - Rave Mentality Mix for Little Gay Brother (Ep4)
Ep4: LEXII - “For me, raving means to lose yourself freely in music, movement, and the unknown. It's about your look, your ’ girls’, your entrance - immersing yourself in the whole vibe ”.
Samantha Togni - Rave Mentality Mix for Little Gay Brother (Ep3)
Ep3: Samantha Togni - “Raving for me is the freedom of being whoever you want alongside your chosen family. It is instant deep connections without any exchange of words needed. It’s liberation at its finest and pure sentimental rawness. ”
D'vey - Rave Mentality Mix for Little Gay Brother (Ep2)
Ep2: D'vey - “Raving to me is about escape. It’s a moment where you can leave everything at the door and become one with a moving being that is the dance floor. Hedonism is really synonymous with raving for me.”
Jaye Ward - Rave Mentality Mix for Little Gay Brother (Ep1)
Ep1: Jaye Ward - "Raving to me means everyone together, free and easy, locked into the heaviest party grooves and celebrating each other on the dancefloor and elsewhere. It’s tribal and as ever, gays and queers leading the way forward"
