#PugLife (Vol. 20 | Pride 2k21)

What this episode covers

This Pride month, the world is (almost) back! It's Pride weekend in my just-reopened hometown of Los Angeles, and the children... are... living! It’s an amazing feeling for most of the world to be able to dance, rejoice, and celebrate together again. Of course, it’s still not this way for everyone - and this past year has been filled with tremendous pain and loss - and yet, there have been so many silver linings and lessons learned from this pandemic year, along with the realization that tomorrow is not promised to any of us. As many of you know (and probably just as many of you don’t!) outside of my DJ/producer work, I work full-time at one of the largest LGBTQ social justice organizations in the U.S. Pride season is a busy time for us, and for me, it’s not all dance parties and celebrations. Pride was - and must always continue to be - a protest. The roots of our joy are interconnected with the long struggle of the fight for equality - something that so many in the LGBTQ community still have yet to fully achieve. Music is my creative outlet, and this year it’s my joy to share with you Stephen Jusko and I’s new remix of “Stronger” by Sam Feldt feat. Kesha, a track that we're sure will become a pride anthem for us for years to come. Plus, this podcast contains amazing new standout production work from Brett Oosterhaus, Enrico Meloni, Leanh, Thiago Antony, Toy Armada & Jace M, Junior Senna & Rafael Dutra, and updated house classics from Sam Divine and The Cube Guys & Bob Sinclar. If you’re new to my podcast, each episode of my #PugLife series is a journey in progressive house and high-energy dance music. Each set starts out with a house warm up before kicking into the peak hour zone. About 3/4ths of the way through, I go into a short darker zone, before switching gears and launching into uplifting tracks and classics at the end! I hope you enjoy the music… and if you do enjoy it, please tip! Find me on Venmo: @DJBlacklow Happy Pride month, y’all!
