Diablo, Jon Byrne and a certain regal one called Queenie ruled the disco roost. Continue reading #TBT Queenie’s DSD Mix 2012

Apparently, Queenie and I were made for TikTok. The random nonsense we spill out onto our socials and 1BTN airwaves just the ticket. But what kind of ticket? We tried the whore out the dog, we attempted the dances, we raised the political and we shared the historical. But the thing that’s swung us the endless K’s? The stuff of TikTok Wildblood and Queenie dreams? The freebies we didn’t know we needed? The mentions in the coffee shop? Outfit of the day. Outfit of the bloody day. Us in an outfit. Every day. Two aging queer dears who really should know better giving the world a twirl. Once a day. Like social(s) work. Continue reading ADHD, Autism and me: TikTok’s OOTD

We did another of those radio shows again. Queenie flying solo then me turning up to bring that extra collection of seemingly random words in no particular order. It was one of those days. We played tunes, enjoyed a dance and made the 1BTN bunker our home. Again. You can listen if you wish. Other radio shows are available. Continue reading Listen again: Wildblood and Queenie Show 10.05.24

Terrace Party w/ Horse Meat Disco, Wildblood … Continue reading He.She.They. Summer Terrace Party
Amazing what you find in the loft if you look hard enough. Tucked in with the flyers and laminated membership card, hiding underneath that oversized Coco Club tee, there it was. 90 minutes of joy courtesy of a Coco Club cassette. Continue reading Chris Coco live at Coco Club The Zap Brighton 1990
We did another of those radio shows again. This time we got special. Wildblood and Queenie Spirit of Zap Reunion Special. Yep, we embraced the ageing process and went back, way back, to a time when our hips worked and we all loved a sniff of the Vicks. We played lots of proper house and US/ UK garage for you as we dug deep into that Zap Club sound and decided to ‘ave it large. Right large. Continue reading Listen again: Wildblood and Queenie 1BTN Spirit Of Zap Reunion Special
There are the stereotypes and the traits any neurodivergent DJ will have to deal with – the collecting, the obsession, the hyperfocus, the isolation, each rubbing alongside the sensory overload, rejection sensitivity dysphoria and the social anxiety that accompanies our days and nights. But somehow if you can get past that, these hard-wired differences do work, crafting a career in an industry seemingly atypical but increasingly filled with the neurodivergent.
