🐰 An Iconic Night with Trench x Aguas De Rosas
|
It's taken years for me to fully understand the challenges of being an open format DJ. When I first started spinning, I was excited to learn how to mix different genres—to understand them separately in order to understand how to merge them in a way audiences can understand. I still love that I'm so expansive that the music I play reflects that. I mean, as DJ Dyaspara (pronounced diaspora) how could you put me in a box? But over time I learned that some promoters understand their brands more linearly—which makes it difficult for some to understand how I fit in their events. I've also learned that some supporters may only be a fan of some genres I play, so in their minds I only exist in specific lanes, and not the other lanes I've created for myself. Despite this revelation, I continue to embrace the different genres I love, which makes my next show so exciting for me! I'll be joining Trench and Agua De Rosas to welcome DJ Kelvin El Sacamostro, all the way from Puerto Rico, this Saturday! The lineup is stacked with Kelman Duran, known for blending Dancehall and Reggaeton (and producing Beyonce's "Heated" and "I'm That Girl" IYKYK!), with local support from me, Karennoid, Algarii and Andres El Mas Grande! The location is private so respond to this email or message me on Instagram for more details! Also, respond to this email with details if you're looking to book me for the coming months!
AMPLIFY 🔊Like always, Amplify was a blast! It warms my heart to see so many of my peers in the local scene all in one space, having a good time! If you like the vibes of my set in this video, check out this mix! Welcome to the DyasphereThis year was the best birthday I've had in several years! Not only did I play two shows that are very aligned with who I am and where I want to go in my career, I simply felt loved and considered by the people around me. While I did not vlog the day of, I did capture the weekend celebrations at ASHAWO and Vigro Deep's show for JAMA! Tap in!

If you're existing on the internet like the rest of us, you've likely heard the ongoing conversations of elder millennials and younger ones alike about feeling less inclined to go out and "party" but still wanting to gather publicly with friends. While I can't completely agree—I will likely be partying until my final days—I will say that I've absolutely hungered for a space to socialize and meet new people without the pressure of typical nightlife.
