HER Sound: Skylar Enjoy – HER

There used to be a DJ named Lisa Delux whom played belowground household songs in San Francisco before it was “cool” at queer parties. This is how Skylar (previously called Lisa Delux) caught my personal attention AND ear canal. Skylar’s noise, design and heart is truly unique. Today Vancouver-based and DJing all over the world, Skylar can also be symbolizing queer consciousness and androgyny on her trips with the woman internet based brand name Boi heritage.

Just what encouraged one to come to be a DJ?



While I was about 14 – in 1998 – I began fun to underground raves. I found myself completely captivated by the DJs and the way they connected the group to music. While I was actually 15 i acquired my personal first group of turntables. I applied everyday!

I started spinning house, rests, drum ‘n bass, and hip-hop aided by the dreams of one-day getting a major international DJ. A few years later I happened to be willing to twist for a live audience! We began sneaking into golf clubs while I ended up being 18 to be able to meet with the correct visitors to reserve a number of my personal 1st gigs. At that time with time I happened to be truly into underground hip-hop. My personal best friend is a phenomenal and gifted MC/vocalist dominant in Vancouver as MC Brigee K. I was her DJ so we started carrying out concert events all around the city. Only two girls putting all the way down hip-hop! (Yes!) We got scheduled for every types of activities, showcases and battles! By 19 I happened to be marketing and gaining my personal hip-hop/DJ programs.

When I first started DJing I got a lot of fascination with to be able to twist all designs of music. I started collecting records from a myriad of types slowly constructing all of them into my personal DJ ready. Whenever I played stay I would personally twist a freestyle set that went from house to hip-hop to drum ‘n bass and back into household once more. That style of multi-genre blending trapped with me through the years.

My personal present design contains the influence of my personal last making use of the evolution of potential songs. I angle freestyle units. I check the crowd and bring all of them on a journey through multi­genre basslines, rhythms and stream. I like to develop the competition’s music taste attracting brand-new noise while mixing it up with something common to make sure they’re connected.

You proceeded concert tour with

earlier this Winter. Tell us regarding your knowledge on tour in European countries.

Europe was remarkable! Our trip was actually known as “Blood, sweating and Queers” – it was a tour that delivered a music knowledge and identified a place in which people of all men and women, nationalities, and sexualities could bond to advertise independence of self expression. All of our goal would be to develop a worldwide action that embraces queer tradition and inspires us to face for which we are. We achieved out and connected with people of all areas exactly who usually do not have the space just to be by themselves. Our programs was just what we might intended them to be, and queer communities across Germany received united states beyond hope. It absolutely was an overall total delight to be hired with

and I would get back to do everything over again in a heart defeat!

How do you definitely impact the gender divide during the DJ business?

By trailblazing and damaging the barriers of sex completely. I enjoy believe i am favorably impacting the gender divide in DJ business by simply getting my self and forging forward inside my job as a global DJ. A DJ is certainly not their unique gender; a DJ is the creativeness, ability and talent shown.

You started
Boi Tradition
a short while ago. What’s Boi lifestyle and why did you make it?

I began

Boi Tradition

as a way for my self to feel linked to an international community of androgynous people. I was experiencing most force from society when it involved gender and labels. I actually didn’t fit in to virtually any one class and thought some frustrated by gender norms and binaries, not just generally speaking culture, however in queer and LGBT communities nicely. Thus I started searching outside of brands and focused rather on faces, folks, fashion and phrase. I adored what I ended up being seeing. And that I liked the coziness i came across during the images we noticed on online and on the roads amongst my personal travels. I thought that probably if I provided everything I had been witnessing, others could link and feel that exact same feeling of comfort.

Really in essence an image blog site without terms. Needs individuals translate the images in their own method, to personalize their unique knowledge whenever they started to my personal web page. I’m like after we begin to use terms we generate boxes …when there’s really no box before everything else! A soul does not have a gender, manliness doesn’t are part of ‘men’, and femininity doesn’t fit in with ‘women’. Boi heritage is my refuge, and I wish it can be a refuge for others at the same time.

S0… how can you determine?

It is a tricky question because we generally love to steer clear of brands. I happened to be produced a cys ‘female’, but We describe myself personally as androgynous and that I identify as Skylar, the human existence. I will be an associate in the global community and I also advocate for subcultures and communities – queer, basic places (my forefathers), additionally the androgynous area.

Are you currently single, wedded, available… What’s up?

Solitary and ready to mingle… LOL!

What do you discover are the sexiest most important factor of ladies?

I’ve found intelligence hot.

Exactly what converts you about most?

People that aren’t worried to live on existence or show which they are.

What is the craziest place you have ever endured intercourse?



look at here

In Cameroon, Africa where it had been in fact unlawful to manufacture love with somebody associated with “same sex”. I guess we out of cash regulations. Oops.

Back into the DJing… Preciselywhat are the all-time your favorite music to angle? Why?

I can’t state one certain song ’cause that is legit too much for me to decide on. The ’90s resonate deep within my soul. Everyone loves ’90s hip-hop, R&B and house.

Where can individuals view you spin?

I stay in Vancouver, Canada and DJ throughout this area. During the spring season and summer I travel around DJing across North America and somewhere else I get booked to try out. Come july 1st some interesting areas should be SF PRIDE, Los Angeles, Puerto Rico, Toronto and Montreal!
