The Beet Pride Dance Party

Cloverdale Pride at The Beet, 2025.

The Beet was the coolest room in Cloverdale, a restaurant that turned into a dance floor on Fridays. For Pride 2025 I got to play it as DJ Cutie. This is that set, recorded again for the shelf with every track in place, for everyone who was there.

It runs about four hours in four stages: Awareness, Intention, Expression, Integration. Notice what resonates, start making choices, show up in full, then settle into it. Each stage has its own marker in the player, so you can drop in where the night is.

It's built for a Pride night, and it sounds like one: each transition placed on purpose, one feeling opening into the next. That's the idea behind reading a mix as a sigil, a sequence built to move you through a state. The short version of that thinking is in Your Playlist Is a Spellbook; the full mechanism is in Song as Sigil.

Recorded September 11, 2026 in one take, from the plan for the night as played. Eighty-three tracks. Waiting for Tonight appears twice on purpose: FISHER's remix in Intention, modern and forward, and Hex Hector's mix in Expression an hour later, the club anthem coming back bigger. Do You Wanna Funk? closes Intention at full tilt, the launch into Expression. The night closes on Luv U. A dance night ends with love.
