Since it's no longer current enough to submit to cons, here is my DJ demo mix from last fall. Most of the tracklist is recycled from a set I played at M.U.T.T. in Aug. 2024.
I was somehow cooking on this and idk if I'll ever record a demo this solid again.

I will never understand why handpaws aren't more popular among furries.
Like that is a real cartoon animal that can touch you & hold you & wiggle their articulated digits as they interact with you, and that makes my brain go crazy.
But I guess most furries would rather get stepped on or something.
