I mixed and mastered most of this - its really a good collection. It casts the best light on the music. Plus a collaboration track that hits hard (remix to follow, just not sure *when* - I need a break after working so hard on this :) )

Violet Wanda/Exposure Kills returns to the decks tomorrow night from 7-9 Eastern to support LOUD! and the Stonewall Community Foundation! twitch.tv/violetwanda I'll be playing a bunch of critically acclaimed, award winning and new material, as well as some old faves.

I've been insanely busy lately, and I don't do a ton of social media anymore. But some things in the works: A couple collaborations, a few official remixes for the Violet Wanda project and I'm working on an Exposure Kills original album. It's a concept album about a superhero "blue team".

I do the B-side remix for this, and it's literally one of the best things I've ever done as Violet Wanda. I took a creepy mid-tempo synthpop track and made it 180 bpm sinister industrial drum n bass. Check it out on Nov 14th, presave here.

On the plane on my way home from DEFCON (and the tail end of STLV with my brother). I am soooo tired and need to sleep like a day. However, evidently Scott Bakula sent a message to my mother on stage at STLV and told her she could cash on her hall pass with him (what?!?!)

I mean....

A little travelling music for my hacker friendos. www.mixcloud.com/houseoftess/...

RFK Jr. is a public health biohazard in a Kennedy mask. Took his grandkids swimming in raw sewage, pushes anti-vax bullshit, downplayed a measles outbreak. I’m trans, autistic, ADHD, a TTI survivor, watching this shit drains my spoons. He’s not rebellious. He’s the system, cosplaying as dissent.

The revised edition of Cult of the Dead Cow is coming this December! New cover, new members, new urgency. Cow more than ever!

She's only on for the next hour, but if you like Drum n Bass, one of the OG's is on Twitch right now, and I'm going on right after her. Y'all gotta get in there. www.twitch.tv/jordana_offi...

Not to mention, this guy lives in the AR game they call MAGA, he actually believes their fictional tales of a universe where Biden had "Open Borders" A bit of a fish out of water for BlueSky, feel free to tell him where he can go find people that will feed into his fiction.

LOL. Duuude go back to Truth Social.

Coming soon...

New DJ set up, all self-produced tracks: This is actually a good introduction to my work. :) Has Exposure Kills, Violet Wanda and Tess LaCoell tracks. Setlist in description. www.mixcloud.com/houseoftess/...

I really needed this laugh this morning. Phishers gotta step up the game, Yo.

I am advocating, nay... DEMANDING that ALL HUMANS recieve due process. Everywhere on earth, not just the US. Sebastian Gorka is a traitorous Nazi fuck. RFK? idiotic traitor Nazi fuck. Noem? Dog-Killer Nazi Fuck Hegseth? Drunk Morokn Nazi Fuck. I can go on....

Hey RFK Jr. I'd rather be autistic (and am) than a brainwormed Nazi. I promise I am more functional than YOU. Nothing About Us Without Us.

Sadly, this is so hard to even speculate at which person they're referring to, there are so many people willing to cliumb the ladder by being lukewarm and soft on bigotry, across so many arts.

Also incredibly proud of Lela and her musical growth and consistency over the past year. Every single person on this compilation, I've watched grow over the past year (and have collaborated/remixed several. and become friends with many of the people. As well as reconnecting to trans fam(Jordana)

I tend to like to use a lot of analog compressor emulators in my mixing and mastering. I have the full complement of UAD and Waves emulators, but while I love them, I keep coming back to Analog Obsession's Vari-Mu instead of the 670 emulators. There's something about it's 'motion' I love in masters

I find as an artist with artist friends, it's the best when you put smiles on your closest friends faces. Especially when they are other artists you believe in. Twice this week I was able to use my platform to promote people I know deserve to have their work heard. Always rep your homies.

the memes are fire this week.

I did a remix album with Giant Monsters of the Horizon last year to coincide with their re-release of Live from Night City (Night City Redux) . I am especially proud of this one. paralunarecords.bandcamp.com/album/giant-...

If something with an edge is more your flare, Violet Wanda is darkwave, EBM, futurepop... Here's my official VW remixes I've done. There are a lot of unofficial ones not listed there, but scroll on my main profile... you'll find them! on.soundcloud.com/W6FhntR28J6u...

Want some pop fun? Check out this playlist on Soundcloud of all my Exposure Kills remixes! on.soundcloud.com/xXbTr8EZLW14...

This. I don't think I have even mentioned my test scores since HS, and I know my IQ (qualify for Triple-9) from testing about 10 years ago for my autism dx. None of this makes a good person. Nor always a functional person. I definitely have some exec functioning deficits.

The Hard Times does not disappoint. thehardtimes.net/culture/elon...

Only I would do a remix that starts out soulful house and ends up having a djenty guitar patch, a synth patch made from a chapman stick sample, a dembow and breakbeat as well in it. LOL This is under my pop remix project, but man, the line between Violet Wanda and Exposure Kills is not wide.

Just got Phase Plant - I used it for one channel in that remix, but I really want to play a bit with it later.

<3 'Tis true, we met in HS.

In non-political and in music... ahhh fuck who am I kidding... this one's political. Adding to @causticmf.bsky.social's immense collection of remixes of this, it's free on my bandcamp and soundcloud. violetwanda.bandcamp.com/track/causti...

I cannot impress on people how important fact checking is. Look deeper. Latest example the SAVE act. If you are going to spread alarm about anything make sure its the right alarm. Misinformation can come from your own side too SAVE act issues (a thread):

I propose a new term for them Trazism, Trazis- its a portmanteau.

YOU won't lose your medicaid - this is actually a distraction - they say they are investigating fraud - this is important - instead of hiring forensic accountants, they sift through information looking for fraud. Its a simple search. While y'all will be relieved when they back off medicaid -

I propose a new term for them Trazism, Trazis- its a portmanteau.

Go woke, make fucking bank. They didnt need those unpleasant people. They can go to Sams Club.

@thedemocraticparty.bsky.social - stop asking us for money to do your damn fucking jobs. Maybe, just maybe we'll donate to you if you don't come across as ineffectual weaklings who are too scared of the boogeyman. This is your fault. You made these monsters. I refuse to give any of you...

Conservatives: "Hey those tr*nn*s are groomers!" Also Conservatives: "Let's name sex offenders as our cabinet members!"

Is this a list of cabinet members, or is it the sex offender registry? Your guess is as good as mine, maybe they should invite Neil Gaiman?
