Daisychain 219 - Selene by Daisychain published on 2022-03-17T19:01:28Z Name: Kayla Waldorf Alias: Selene (@seleneseattle) Pronouns: they/them/she/her Location: Seattle Influences: My biggest influence is undoubtedly the friends and musical peers that I share artistic connection with. Whether it's through organizing events, mixing together at an afters, or sending music across the void - the people who I am emotionally connected to and enjoy chatting about music/art/life with are certainly the most influential in my musical world. More abstractly I am influenced by narrative in DJ sets. I am compelled by Djs who have the ability to transport me into their unique world. I've experienced this transcendence on the dance floor during sets like Eris Drew at TUF til' dawn in 2018 and Powder closing at Sustain Release. I would, however, say that the DJ does not stand alone in creating this transcendent experience. As an organizer I am keenly aware of the confluence of people, place, and DJ as the trifecta that must act in harmony to create the most special and transformative experiences. Dance music is such an uniquely immersive type of music and that quality creates a situation where the sum is certainly greater than the parts if it's done with intention and care. Affiliations/Residencies/Projects: Secondnature ~ a label and underground event series. Formerly a member of TUF. I used to go by Aos and also am 1/2 of the project Sage. Favorite Quote: Ok I would say I do not have a favorite quote. But I have a favorite poem by Rumi that me and a bunch of pals have memorized and say aloud together as a toast sometimes... "We have a huge barrel of wine but no cups, thatβs fine with us. Every morning we glow, and in the evening we glow again. They say there is no future for us. They are right; and that's fine with us." Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community: Seek joy and genuine connection through music. Dj the music you love. Technical skills come with time and are secondary to selection and expression of self, so don't fixate too much on mistakes. Uplifting your peers and supporting each other is one of the most meaningful parts of artistic community - if you have resources (and especially privilege) be open to sharings your knowledge and skills. With this mix Selene asks to please learn more about and consider donating to: Sylvia Rivera Law Project. As more and more anti-trans and anti-bodily autonomy legislation is passed around the country i'd like to highlight the Sylvia Rivera Law Project which provides free legal resources and "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."
