AIRGAY RADIO – VJtheDJ for Dark Industry Recordings

📡 Originally broadcast April 22, 2017 on Air Gay Radio

🎧 Rereleased now on SoundCloud for the first time

Back in 2017, I was invited to make a mix for Air Gay Radio, the international internet station dedicated to House, Techno, and Nudisco with a focus on music for and by the gay community. This mix — Dark Industry Recordings 12 — was my introduction to their worldwide audience.

The invite came through Maria Dark, one of NYC’s fiercest tribal house producers and DJs, known for her dark, drum-heavy sound and releases on Nervous, Underground Collective, and Ggressive. My connection to Maria goes back years , through Philly’s legendary Shampoo Nightclub and my role as a record buyer at Armand’s Records (PHL), where underground DJs, producers, and heads came to dig. Maria even introduced me to DJ Tom Stephan, cementing the bridge between Philly’s underground and NYC’s deep tribal lineage.

Alongside Patrick Martin Edouard (Air Gay Radio) and Yannick Martin (France), this broadcast represented more than a mix — it was a cultural exchange:

Philadelphia grit → NYC tribal house → European underground

A celebration of queer community, electronic music, and the spaces that keep it alive.

Nearly a decade later, I’m rereleasing this set as part of my archives. It's a time capsule of the sounds, people, and connections that built my journey. Thank you DJ Maria Dark for the drums, the darkness, and the drive… it’s all still alive.

🎶 DJ DELISH RE-RELEASES "I WANT ALL THE GIRLS"

A ballroom classic returns with fresh force

Originally recorded in 2012. Re-released June 22, 2025.

DJ Delish (aka Khadijah), the Philly-born, Richmond-raised production powerhouse behind the evolution of ballroom beats, is re-releasing her landmark track “I Want All The Girls” featuring Ms Jay Karan—first debuted as the lead single from her formative 2013 release Mutual.

💥 A SOUND THAT SHIFTED THE BALLROOM BEAT

Back in 2012, ballroom music was still dominated by rough, crash-heavy edits and raw DAW experiments. Delish, however, brought musicality, precision, and intention to the formula:

✨ Tuned crashes, not just loud FX

🎹 Mid-song changes that defied monotonous loops

🎧 Masterful sample manipulation, elevating chopped vocals into art

🧩 Full-length cohesive projects, not just standalone singles

“I Want All The Girls” represents that moment: a playful, fierce, and culturally affirming anthem rooted in Black queer joy, ballroom attitude, and Delish’s genre-bending aesthetic.

🔊 ABOUT DJ DELISH

DJ Delish is a trailblazing producer, DJ, and cultural force whose work spans ballroom, house, gospel, hip-hop, and club music, forming a radical sound collage rooted in Black trans joy and underground realness.

With over a decade in the game, her projects include:

What The Hell Happened? Y’all Producers Took A Day Off Or Something? Hello? Hello?! (2024)

Elektrokution Kak: The Mixtape (2023)

Khadijah, Vol. 7 (2022)

XP EP on Sweat Equity (2019)

She’s collaborated with legends like Kevin JZ Prodigy and Naeem, and continues to shape the sonic DNA of queer nightlife with every release and electrifying set.
