Patreon is LIVE / Música de Cumpleaños 2025

It's my Birthday and I'll make a Mixtape if I want to

Hi, hi! I'm DMP and I'd like to introduce myself. I like music, dancing, and DJ under the name Drvmcircle, which I selected for its delicious absurdity. The Música de Cumpleaños 2025 mixtape cover above is a picture of little DMP. Who would have predicted he'd have a complicated gender identity that would play out publicly, lol?

What DMP stands for depends on the context. For our purposes, let's say Dance Majick Priestess. But I like ALL music, not just dance music. For everyday listening, I've been making playlists for Rudy Jude for the last five years; a phenomenal honor. But, I'd like to be more thoughtful about music consumption, so I'm launching a Patreon! More details below, but back to me...

I also dislike certain things, like the capitalist class and the direction they are taking the globe. For instance, this Elon Musk guy? I don't trust him as far as I can throw him! And that's not far given my fractured rib. Do I respect his ability to exploit technology for his own gain? More complicated. Anyway, my AI assistant, Ali, insists I should be on Instagram and Tik Tok to spread my love of music. So, you can find me there.

OK, I was a little misleading when I said I like music... I LOVE MUSIC. You like the Spotify playlists? You will love my record collection! Its been hard to outline a subscription service because I want to make a new mixtape or DJ live stream once a week. My passion exceeds a sustainable model.

If you join for $5-a-month you will get my new one-hour mixtape, Música de Cumpleaños 2025 immediately (spoiler: Sublime!). But in two weeks, and every month going forward, you will get a live stream/file of a new mixtape made from my record collection or digital files. This will also include a PDF Zine dedicated to the mixtape as well as lots of other treats (under promise, over deliver).

In addition to that, if you subscribe at the $20 tier, every two months you will receive a cassette tape which may include some songs from the mixes posted those months, but may be entirely new! May be I will make you a custom mix, who knows! You will also receive a print version of the Zine! So six Cassette Mixtapes and related Zines every year!

Personal history: I'm a half-Mexican, part Native-American kid from Texas who had some smarts. For a number of years I worked in the art world which I found confusing. In order to be successful, you had to pretend you were rich and already successful, a tense contradiction. I later learned it was not just the art world. So in pitching this subscription, my societal impulse is to give the impression of cool indifference. Well, society can kick rocks. I can confidently state, sure, I'd really like your money, but this will be more than worth your money because I have exceptional taste in music and the archive/history to prove it!

It's my Birthday Month so I am off to the Boston Ballet tonight but hope you love this mixtape!
