Episode 11 – Sky Falls Down
from Velvet Nation with Boy Joey · host Boy Joey
Send us Fan MailA few weeks ago, I found out my MS has progressed. Things haven’t fallen apart, but they’ve shifted — enough to rattle me, to shake up my routines, and to hit me deep in places I thought were solid. Then on Saturday, July 19th, just hours before a gig, I had what may have been an MS attack. I blacked out, fell down a flight of stairs, and was unconscious for hours. I nearly missed the show — something I never let happen. And it rocked me.This mix was born from that moment. It’s grief and rage and hope and defiance, translated into sound. You’ll hear it in the tracklist — from “As The Rush Comes” to “Sky Falls Down” — it’s all there. Not just a set, but a message.And through it all, I’ve been lucky. Lucky to be held — truly held — by the love of my partners: Rogue, Champ, and Tink. Their support has been the ground beneath my feet. I’m endlessly grateful for the constant presence of my friend Albee, one of the kindest, fiercest souls I know. And I’ve felt the quiet, steady strength of my family, who continue to show up in ways that matter.This isn’t just a mix. It’s me — cracked open and still dancing.Even when the sky falls down… we dance.
