33 has been the most insane year of my life *so far* This is your official and very last minute invitation to celebrate my birthday with me tonight 🎈 I have two dj gigs tonight, one for early birds at @cafebalearica with my sis @jcsuperfreak and one for the late night party people at @theexley. Both free. Swipe for flyers and a selection of throwback photos 👶🏼 In the last 12 months, I got to do and see and learn so much. In the past few months especially, I’ve been confronted with a number of intense truths about the nature of aging in the United States and about the relationships in my life. I am somehow both exhausted and nourished simultaneously. I am indescribably grateful for the support I have in my life. The real ones know who they are 💜 all this is to say, I’m ready to celebrate myself tonight and the vibes will be right. See you on the dance floor 🪩

Columbus you’re fuckin cool!! Tysm to everyone who brought their best dance energy to @fever_cbus and to @itsapostmodernworld for the invitation and the A+ hospitality, and to everyone else who helped introduce me to this special piece of the midwestern queer renaissance 💜

🌈 I wanna be with you everywhere 🌈 Campout number 4 felt like a whirlwind romance with an entire physical space and group of people. Apparently every year I have a moment where I ask @milange.s “Can you believe that there are so many people out there who will never get to experience anything like this??” and that feeling of gratitude and wonder just seems to get deeper. THANK YOU to everyone who put so much effort and love into @honchopgh 🏕️ Something I’m additionally grateful for was the opportunity to connect with some of the Columbus community at campout, and I’m super excited to experience Honcho decompression at @fever_cbus tomorrow night!! Haven’t even unpacked my camp gear yet but I have a feeling the energy is going to be something special ❤️‍🔥

Had an absolutely amazing time bringing the KNDYFRK experience to @jellyfishpgh last weekend 🪼 incredible venue, wonderful people, and loved getting to play tourist for a bit in Pittsburgh checking out @hotmasspgh, delicious food, and a magical cemetery 🦌 Back in Brooklyn for a few days before heading to @honchopgh 🏕️ Come dance with me at @animal.nyc on Saturday, I’ll be giving you an extended set 10p-4a after a daytime set by @kraftwitch 🐺

Rounding out the summer season with more intensity from Brooklyn… One half of the duo KNDYFRK, (remember SPRFRK from FEVER Pride) we are proud to introduce you to DJ/Producer, KANDYLION (she/her). They recently tore the house down together in PGH at the Jellyfish party and we’re anticipating she will undeniably WORK YOU OUT at FEVER. Get ready and stay ready. Kandylion has devoted the better part of the last decade to refining her DJ chops in the vibrant Brooklyn underground while developing a sound that is deeply rooted in the NYC queer scene. Her sets have been featured on dance floors far and wide, including London’s Dalston Superstore, Club 1722 in Baltimore, and Sole Rehab of Rochester NY, as well as beloved local venues like Good Room and House of Yes. Infusing deep and soulful house grooves with touches of euphoric techno, seductive electro, dynamic acid, breaks and more, she provides an energetic and uplifting dance floor atmosphere. Kandylion is a resident of the queer nightlife collective XOXA and one half of KNDYFRK, a duo project with fellow nightlife disciple SPRFRK. FEVER is a special night devoted to the sounds of Disco, House and Techno - past and present. This is an ALL inclusive Queer SAFE SPACE.

10. KNDYFRK - DORIAN UGLY (05:53 – 125bpm) #AcidHouse We are taken to a dark basement by this bass-intensive Acid House track, which is a tribute to the queer culture of New York City, and to the ballroom icon Dorian Corey and her definitive definition of the art of throwing shade. Turn up the intensity with this housy track inspired by the sound of the NYC underground. The Brooklyn Bridge never sleeps. The hot air balloon awaits us. BIO: KNDYFRK is the product of the combined talents of Brooklyn djs Kandylion and SPRFRK. Both longtime disciples of the Brooklyn underground queer dance scene, their chemistry behind the decks is dynamic and joyful with more than a little attitude. Expect high energy house with touches of acid, techno, disco and soul resulting in a musical experience that is equal parts sweet and freaky. “This track is a tribute to the queer culture of New York City, and to the ballroom icon Dorian Corey and her definitive definition of the art of throwing shade. Inspired by the sound of the NYC underground and the beats that drive us as a DJ duo.” Released by: Others to the Front Release date: 11 June 2024 Album: HoO Compilation Vol.1 Catalog Nº: OTTF003-HOO1 Mastering by: Lana Saints Artwork by: Myrto O’Sullivan Curated by: Materia Hache
