🔥 Velvet Nation with Boy Joey brings you the full live recorded set from Deep-House, Deep-Fetish, captured at the legendary Ramrod in Fort Lauderdale.

This mix is dark, driving, and unapologetically deep — the kind of set that thrives in a room built for sweat, leather, and unfiltered energy. For those who were there, here’s your chance to relive it. For everyone else, welcome to the floor.

Press play, sink into the groove, and let the night take over.

In this Episode of Velvet Nation, Boy Joey gives you a taste of what’s about to go down in Fort Lauderdale at Ramrod’s Deep-House, Deep-Fetish - Friday August 29th, 2025. 

Dark, driving, and unapologetically dirty—this preview set rides the line between hypnotic deep house grooves and raw underground energy. Think late-night basements, sweat-drenched leather, and a pulse that won’t quit.

Consider this your invitation into the vibe before the night even begins. If you can’t make it to the floor this Friday, plug in and let Velvet Nation take you there.

A few weeks ago, I found out my MS has progressed. Things haven’t fallen apart, but they’ve shifted — enough to rattle me, to shake up my routines, and to hit me deep in places I thought were solid. 

Then on Saturday, July 19th, just hours before a gig, I had what may have been an MS attack. I blacked out, fell down a flight of stairs, and was unconscious for hours. I nearly missed the show — something I never let happen. And it rocked me.

This mix was born from that moment. It’s grief and rage and hope and defiance, translated into sound. You’ll hear it in the tracklist — from “As The Rush Comes” to “Sky Falls Down” — it’s all there. Not just a set, but a message.

And through it all, I’ve been lucky. Lucky to be held — truly held — by the love of my partners: Rogue, Champ, and Tink. Their support has been the ground beneath my feet. 

I’m endlessly grateful for the constant presence of my friend Albee, one of the kindest, fiercest souls I know. 

And I’ve felt the quiet, steady strength of my family, who continue to show up in ways that matter.

This isn’t just a mix. It’s me — cracked open and still dancing.

Even when the sky falls down… we dance.

Recorded Live: Code Room at the Baltimore Eagle - Saturday, July 19th, 2025

Prepare to be swept away in a late-night wave of hypnotic rhythm and pulsing emotion. For this milestone tenth installment of Velvet Nation, Boy Joey delivers TranceTonic — a deep, immersive journey into progressive trance, techno, and euphoric melodies, recorded live from the heart of Baltimore’s underground at the legendary Code Room.

Opening with slow-burning tension and dark undertones, the set ascends through soaring synthscapes, relentless grooves, and climactic drops that echo the raw energy of the room. Ethereal vocals weave in and out like ghosts on the dancefloor, guiding the crowd through a ritual of release, connection, and sonic transcendence.

This is a soundscape for sweat-slicked bodies and wide-eyed souls — an homage to queer nightlife’s power to elevate and transform.

💊 Press play. Take your tonic. Get transported.

Recorded: July 6th, 2025 – Rehoboth Beach, DE

After the fireworks faded and the glitter settled, one final ritual remained — and it hit hard. Feral Freedom is the sound of bodies unchained, sweat pouring, and desire let loose on the closing night of 4th of July weekend at Diego’s Bar & Nightclub in Rehoboth Beach, DE.

Following the explosive debut of State of Independence, Boy Joey returned to the booth for a darker, deeper, and more primal set — where house beats met queer heat, and the dancefloor became a place of full release.

This mix pulses with underground energy: seductive grooves, tribal builds, and cathartic drops that summon both chaos and clarity. It's not just a party. It's the closing invocation of Pride, lust, and liberation.

🖤 Let go. Get loud. Get feral.
