Queer joy is resistance... It reminds us that our existence is a form of resistance in itself and that our happiness and well-being are worth fighting for.

After 2 years of pouring my heart into my music project while adjusting to being nearby non-queer accepting blood family - has left only my music, shows & DJ sets as self expression of my non-binary identity.

Saturdays Depths of Kink was more than enough to fill my cup. Thank you to my friends/supporters in the Rio Grande Valley who came out. Thanks to everyone in attendance who let themselves be in pure joy for a night.

Special words that I cannot describe to the talented lineup:

@sadxbarbiex
@maybeluxe_
@senrott
@email_satanas

& thanks to @upbeatrgv // @sadxbarbiex for such a professional production, providing a green room and allowing me to practice my set prior to the show.

Seeing a club dance to my music is all the love Ive been needing…

🖤WORLD GOTH DAY IS NEXT WEEKEND🖤

And this goth is celebrating in my favorite part of TEXAS. SOUTH TX - in the Rio Grande Valley that is.

Performing a solo live set, and ending the night with an EBM/Industrial DJ set to kick off the summer

If you're in the valley, come out to McAllen on SATURDAY 5/23 for a good time

Thanks to @andi_rising
For booking me to play this goth event! Halloween is definitely my favorite holiday.

COSTUMES ENCOURAGED ✨

Thanks for the love on this remix. This song was written during good times in the new year of 2025.

I know music keeps going ever so rapidly and the wheels keep turning in the darkwave scene, but 2025 was a hard hit to me personally. Lost 2 people to cancer who were so memorable in my life timeline. Went through many challenges and changes.

There was so much music recorded for my project in 2025. So many shows and a long tour booked that was a mind opening experience spiritually

So, thank you for listening. This remix was meant to be released on my tour, alongside other remixes from my favorite producers.

I'm catching up! First live set back is in McAllen on 5/23 @labandidamcallen !

It feels good to be back even though I feel like the past year was a lifetime ago. It's time to get back to the music I love.

Deeper than Skin Kontravoid REMIX is on all platforms today!

If you're interested in purchasing, bandcamp link is in my bio. I just feel that maybe if I continue to avoid withdrawing my bandcamp music sales, it might pay for one of my flights to Los Angeles.

Who knows? Why am I going to LA? To work on my album of course!

Music Video for Remix drops on 5/22 💋

Thanks for listening
