For the first time ever AFTERS is releasing a podcast episode and accompanying mix together simultaneously, and who better than Marco Gomez aka Junior M to kick off!
Raised in Boston of Guatemalan descent, Marco Gomez moved to NYC and quickly made an impact on the city’s techno underground as part of the #KUNQ collective and a regular at the legendary #GHE20GOTH1K. After some time in Berlin, Marco has returned stateside (for now) reborn as Junior M. Recorded the day after Halloween 2024, Marco and I discussed global politics, the autistic experience, party ethics, queer identities, and his journey to finding himself again musically.
Inspired by our conversation Junior M has crafted an exclusive sexy mix that includes a brand new demo(!!!) and is built around the sounds of gay dark rooms - deep, reflective, hypnotic, playful, and raw. Get your double dose of Junior M via the AFTERS podcast across all platforms and listen to the Darkroom AFTERS Mix now on SoundCloud!
Listen up for a message from actualfag and Big Dumb Top announcing FUNDLE - A queeriously silly & chaotic night of ferocity for you to queen out & get spun - just like a circus.

We all know and love Naija Couture (aka @biblicallyaccuratebutchqueen) for his memes, hot takes and encyclopedic knowledge of music history and pop culture. Last month, I had the pleasure of sitting down with the New York-based DJ (by way of the rural South) just days after the 2024 election. Together we reflected on the state of the world, queer identities, rave culture, growing up in the 90’s, and his incredible journey from performance artist, musician, producer, DJ and online personality.
This was a very important and insightful conversation and I hope that you'll join me in carrying his message of community care forward into the new year.
Listen up for a special invitation from Hue to the Revival New Years Day celebration!
I want to thank each and every one of you who has listened to, liked and shared a podcast episode or mix. AFTERS will continue to be a labor of love into the new year and I hope that you’ll come along with me.
