BLAIZE is a trans DJ & event producer that has been carving a unique path in New York’s underground electronic scene. known for blending raw vocals with hypnotic bass lines, he weaves together percussive rhythms, experimental club, & techno, driving the body to an almost ritualistic state. he approaches DJing as a practice of shaping space & time, one where the dance floor becomes a site of worship, release & freedom.
beyond the booth, BLAIZE curates a quarterly trans-centered bath house play party called “Moans” & is one half of the force behind the new party series “Sex Change.” his commitment to championing underground talent is one of the many reasons he has earned the respect of dancers & DJs alike.
