About this listen

Back with more noise this week as we welcome VNSSA to the program, a SoCal native and house music devotee who has worked her way from DJing local venues, to playing festival stages across the country, to her first-ever headline tour “Hell Freezes Over” which just wrapped its run. VNSSA has also released tunes on cool labels such as DIRTYBIRD, Higher Ground, and Black Book Records among others.

We chop it up with VNSSA and discuss her dressing up as Justin Martin’s cat for Halloween, her transition from Norwegian black metal to house music, breaking into the Orange County DJ scene, throwing an important New Year’s Eve Re-Do party, why themed parties can be helpful for the culture, the genuine sisterhood of female artists in the scene, the impact of DIRTYBIRD on dance music, why there shouldn’t be any gatekeeping, and the courage needed to invite people to your first DJ gigs.
