“Love Hypnosis” is a message ✨?✨ I have a new mix and limited edition cassette release today on mine and @erisdrew 's label @t4tluvnrg ? You can buy the cassette or a high-quality download on our Bandcamp (Link in bio). You can also listen to the mix for free on mine and the T4T LUV NRG SoundCloud. ✨????????‍♀️?? 50% of the profits the release will be donated to the @sylviariveralawproject , which works to guarantee that all people are free to self-determine their gender identity and expression, regardless of income or race, and without facing harassment, discrimination, or violence. ???????? It’s a narrative meant for personal empowerment; to become the person you want to be. I’ve conducted a few “Love Hypnosis” rituals as extended six hour sets broken into three segments that signal my intentions about love, body, and spirit. For this tape series, they will be shorter missives meant to build upon one another and show a growing idea of how music can explore the magic and actualization of ourselves. The act of DJing itself is to cast a spell. Dance music as an art form that sends an immediate direct statement into one’s body. It can shift and evolve over time to reveal information, but first it will move you. This message is meant to move you both physically and emotionally. “Love is the fire I need”. I believe it’s what we all need these days. We’re here together. Nobody can stop us now ?
