BITCH / CUNT / TWAT / TWIRL

This one is for the ballroom kids, the circuit demons, the late-night lovers, and everybody that knows a death drop absolutely counts as cardio.

I wanted to put together something chaotic, glamorous, sweaty, and a little filthy for Pride season — so BITCH / CUNT / TWAT / TWIRL was born.

This 22-minute Summer Preview Pack is my first full look into the next wave of music I’ve been building behind the scenes. Inside this mix I’m previewing six unreleased tracks:

BITCH
CUNT
TWAT
TWIRL
MOTHER
WERK
SLAY

Sonically this lives somewhere between progressive house, ballroom energy, mainstage euphoria, and afterhours attitude. Think chrome, pink lasers, blackout shades at sunrise, runway arrogance, and emotional damage hidden under really expensive boots.

I wanted this mix to feel like walking into a dark room and immediately hearing somebody yell:
“CATEGORY IS…”

…and suddenly your life depends on the next eight counts.

This is sweat on the dancefloor.
This is lipstick on the cigarette filter.
This is hands in the air while your knees give out.
This is queer joy at dangerous BPMs.

Welcome to summer.

— Boy Joey
