![]() When that shame and oppression fall away you’d be fucking amazed what is underneath it all – Pure god damn art in it’s rawest form. We thrive because of our ability to communicate and express ourselves (mostly) without fear, and that encourages a lot more personal truth to emerge from the shadows. We are not advocating any one type of Alternative Relation or Lifestyle but in fact encouraging a non-discriminatory subculture that thrives because of it’s multifariousness. What I really try to strive for is acceptance and love at EE, rather than seeing different types of people and lifestyles as adversarial we offer the concept of a robust diverse community that supports and learns from each other because of those differences. In your opinion, how does Erotica Electronica create community and awareness for alternative sexuality/relationship styles? There is a certain stigma surrounding both how we are told we should dance, and how we are told should be sexy – and when those binds are removed the act of dancing as ones true self, and fully embodying what it means to be sexy on a personal level the two tend to flow naturally as if our bodies and souls had been asking for it all along. Dance is the hidden language of the soul – the key here is to throw out what I call “The Book of ‘Shoulds’ ” because honestly that damn thing has only kept us down. To be able to collectively feel that in a space that doesn’t encourage the social lubricant of alcohol is a unique and powerful experience to behold. There is a certain aspect of music that has always touched me on sensual level, it’s non verbal, archaic and potent. Kind of like a Sexy Circus Snuggle party with Bass…. Erotica Electronica I have been told is a healthy blend of all of these scenes with a little added “je ne sais quoi”. ![]() each of them I saw being able to benefit from each other but for some reason there was an odd trepidation of passing much over the lines of division. I found myself integrated in the Burning Man scene, the Kink Scene, the Underground music scene and the Circus/Performance Arts scene…. Why do these things go together so well? What is the link between sexuality and music?Įrotica Electronica is it’s own creature all together, but that being said I have always had an affinity for building bridges and breaking down the walls of social scene segregation and EE is the product of just that. Ahead of the SOLD-OUT Erotica Electronica: Victoria Edition XI show at the Sunset Room this Saturday February 13th, Betty & Kora contributor Lauren DeGaine caught up with co-producer and DJ of the night, AppleCat to discuss all things sexuality, music, and how the event combines the two to influence the community and the attendees.Įrotica Electronica blends together two “subcultures”: underground bass music and alternative sexuality.
