Have Pride
I am very excited to be able to feature music from several LGBT artists...at least five, and probably more. Representation matters. And it doesn't hurt that queer artists are putting out some real bangers either.
I don't have a ton more to say this year; rather than ramble on, I'd rather you just jump in and listen. But do keep in mind why Pride exists, who fought for the rights and freedoms we have, and that this is far from over. For the love of god, vote this November.
And get ready to move. This one goes hard.

Stay Proud
Remember eight years ago when marriage equality happened in the States, and it kinda' felt like much of the battle was over? Surprise, surprise, the political right is back and hateful as ever. Things feel just a little ugly out there now, don't they? We seriously have nazis - nazis! - "protesting" drag queen story time, anti-trans rhetoric and laws being passed in red states, and every stripe of LGBTQ+ person being called a "groomer" by idiot republicans who have no actual clue what they're talking about (whatever the hell that even means...I'd be happy if you kept your kids away from me, thanks).
So no, the battle isn't over. Not even close. Stand together, support one another (especially trans folks), keep fighting, and above all else stay proud.

Pride 2022 (or The Battle Continues...)
At just under two hours (and a whopping 37 tracks!), this is my longest Pride mix to date. House, pop, electro, progressive, and even a touch of trance set the party mood, with major tracks from heavy hitters like Alesso, Dubvision, Afrojack, Martin Garrix, R3hab, Morgan Page, Tiesto, Illenium, Swedish House Mafia, David Guetta, Deadmau5, Gryffin, and many more. There are quite a few really fun Nu-disco tracks here too, and length of this one allowed me to go a little harder at the end than I have since ~2015.
Pride is always one of my favorite weekends of the year, and while it may be a little darkened by some truly awful recent Supreme Court decisions and a completely unhinged political right, this is still our time to come together, to celebrate, and to appreciate our community. We have come a long way together. Love will win.

Pride 2021
I don't have a ton to say about this one, other than there's a lot of good stuff here, so I hope you find at least a few things you enjoy. We were robbed of a Pride festival last year, so I'm excited (if not a little nervous) about how much craziness this year might entail. However you choose to celebrate this weekend, stay safe and remember what we're recognizing. Happy Pride!

Now More Than Ever (Pride 2020)
Pride is certainly going to look and feel different this year. With official events off the schedule, I suppose it's up to us to observe as we see fit. And given everything going on right now, I think it's important we not just forget it this year. Pride means many things to different people, which is one of the beautiful things about it. There a million and a half things that could be said about the protesting, the civil unrest, the more-than-justified anger, and the struggles many of our brothers and sisters of color are experiencing right now. But more than ever, I think it's important to know when to shut the fuck up and just listen. Being an ally means support, sure, but it also means not directing the conversation. We all have a hell of a lot to learn about each other (and an even greater amount of progress to make).
So here's to a very strange, very unusual, very not normal Pride 2020. But nothing in the world is normal right now. If we do this right, we can get through it together. Reflect. Celebrate. Listen. Learn. Now more than ever, be proud.

A gay old time
I'm well aware that not all gay pop icons are represented here. As I was reminded of several times, there are many, many omissions, particularly those who were big before the early 2000's. Rest assured, it was a conscious decision to focus on just eight artists who retain pretty massive popularity today. After all, this mix is already an hour and forty-five minutes long, and we had Rumchatta shots and uncomfortable games to get to. And there's always next year for a sequel...
Also, my bad on the delay in posting this a whopping seven months after this party occurred. I have no excuse for why a few minor edits took me so long. But hey, at least it's not a year between mixes usual! :)

Here we go again... (Pride 2019)
I always try to keep to new music only (roughly from the past year), but I did have to throw in the amazing Dash Berlin remix of the Chainsmokers' "New York City." Though it's a couple of years old now, it somehow eluded me until now. And it's fantastic. There's plenty of great stuff here, but the other major standout to me is the beautifully haunting remix Illenium did of Halsey's "Without Me." The last 30 seconds of the track give me goosebumps every time.
The heartbeat you hear at the beginning is a connection to the one you'll hear near the end, at the close of a beautiful tribute to a young talent lost way too soon. Its inclusion in this mix seemed all-too-fitting given the struggle many in our community endure. You are loved and never forgotten, indeed.
Fifty years ago, a group of courageous men, women, and trans people fought back against a discriminatory police raid of an LGBT bar, effectively changing the course of the gay rights movement in the United States. It's taken 50 years, but things have certainly changed for the better. And though we should take time to celebrate that, we also need to recognize we've a long way to go. Social justice movements certainly seem to be cyclical, with periods of sudden, significant advancements interrupted by setbacks and regressions. An unstable, wannabe dictator-in-chief certainly doesn't help, not to mention the disturbing number of lawmakers whose views have evolved little in the past 100 years. It's as important as ever that the fight continue. Yes, here we go again.
