BOILER ROOM X: ORLANDO PRESENTED BY ZELOS AUDIO

DJ Mix
Performed September 2022
A commissioned DJ performance by international platform Boiler Room and local Orlando collective Zelos Audio. In this performance, I referenced a variety of transcontinental genres, such as kuduro, cumbia, trance in order to interrogate artificial divisions of borders and genres. Intentioned as an intervention within nightlife, this mix is a subversion of geography through sound. Flier artwork by program organizers.
