Loved this conversation. Its fun and educational to hear Chris's story. The first time I heard, and met, Black Velveteen was at Innerflight's NY day party in 2021 where she played right before Robag Wruhme. She had the best set of the night for me and I became an instant fan. Her authenticity, presence, and love shine not only when she's "behind the decks" but also when speaking / connecting with her. Given my journey with djing, I feel I hold a pretty high standard. Quite honestly, it takes a lot for me to enjoy listening to a person play for hours. Combining her technical skills with her presence, and track selection, creates a set worth sticking around for. Great combinations of driving and pretty. Def one of my favorite DJs:) Thanks for putting in the time and effort to make these conversations happen Phil! P.S.... Go to Burningman:)

Appreciate you stopping through and I totally agree with with everything you said about Chris - such a cool person and stylistically, "driving and pretty" nails it. She's even sent me down the lollypop headphone rabbit hole. And I'll definitely get to Burningman. I can't not go at this point.
