My Wotever Playlist

Last night, I DJed for the first time ever, at a queer bar in Vauxhall. Bar Wotever is one of my favourite things in London. It’s a friendly, chilled out environment that is a real mix of people. There are LGB people and trans people and the straight and cisgender friends and lovers . It’s every Tuesday. the early DJ starts at 6 (that was me) and plays until 9. then there are usually a couple of stage acts and then another DJ playing dance music.
So my first ever DJ set was 3 hours long! Fortunately, very few people come for 6, so my early n00b errors were largely unwitnessed. It was fun and most of the music I played went down well, except for the one noise piece. Heh. It’s a great piece of music, but the organiser was not into it. This, incidentally, it a reason I write 1-minute pieces. Like, people will usually give you a minute. So if you can write a nice noise piece that’s one minute long, they will give it a shot and may even find they like it. Then it’s like a gateway drug for longer noise pieces. But I digress.
I have a list of everything that I played, but alas, I don’t know what order I played it in! So here’s a list of the songs I played, but totally out of order. If the song title is a link, it leads to where you can download it.

There’s some possibility that I might get asked to DJ again. If you’re in a band with LGBT people or sing about LGBT themes and you want me to play you, you should send me mp3s! (This is just a ploy for me to get free music. ) If you are in such a band, you may wish to contact Wotever, especially if you’d like to play a gig.
I did not play every track that I came with, alas, but next time!

One thought on “My Wotever Playlist”

  1. You played "Chromozones" at a club? Wow, I wish I had known, I would have tried to send you a better quality version of the song, ha ha. The online version is very fuzzy in sound quality. Thanks for thinking of me!
