Black Friday sparked the official start of the 2020 holiday season, and you’ll need plenty of music to get you through the holidays that offer something new and exciting, and even a little cheeky! Enter Spygenius, a classic British four piece pop-combo based in Canterbury and South London, and their soon to be holiday classic “Revels Without A Claus.” One of twenty-five tracks released on Big Stir Records’ compilation, The Yuletide Wave features multiple artists who have released holiday music with Big Stir over the years as well as holiday newcomers Spygenius, Nick Frater, Librarians With Hickeys, The Stan Laurels, and Irene Peña. The compilation comes in a number of formats or perks, or with in combination with The Eighth Wave, a compilation featuring “year-round” music that you can enjoy anytime.

As a producer bringing some major events to Capital Pride this year, Zach Renovátes admits that he was keen to get Betty Who on the lineup. After having seen several of her live performances already, Renovátes knew the Australian would make a fine marquee addition to the “Kinetic Presents Candyland” event at Echostage June 10.
Fortunately, she was both available and interested.
“Something that I personally saw was that [Betty Who] is one of the most pro-LGBT singer-songwriters I’ve ever ever seen perform live,” Renovátes said, adding that the D.C. audiences at her concerts come largely from within the gay community. “So she absolutely knows that we as queer people make up a huge percentage of her fan base.”
The June 10 event is the main draw of a weekend of collaborations between Kinetic Presents and the Capital Pride Alliance in celebration of D.C. Pride 2023. Other big names who will play at various venues around the District include DJs Abel and Cindel, Dan Slater, as well as Jerac and Paulo Fragoso. It’ll be a pride-filled musical weekend indeed, with Echostage, Sax, Bunker and Bliss Nightclub hosting the pulsing sounds of revelry. And there’s also the big parade on June 10.
