Happy Pride from all of us in Impact! This year, on Pride weekend, we’re bringing hard club and drag to Kremwerk, with an all queer lineup of locals and friends from out of town. It’ll be a celebration to remember, in a time where it feels like there’s less reasons to celebrate every day. To be serious for a minute, Impact! is an entirely trans run operation. A lot of our DJs are trans or queer. And trans people are actively under attack in a way that they haven’t been in a long time. We have it pretty good in Seattle, we’re probably in one of the best if not the best places for trans people in US. We have a huge community, a great scene, and a state and city government that supports us. But we still have to worry about violence every day, either in the form of literal physical violence or the slow crushing violence of discrimination and immiseration.
We’re not gonna take it lying down. Many of us at Impact! are helping fight the good fight, out on the front lines of protests or behind the scenes with organizing work. Our shows also provide joy and a refuge to trans people, joy that is sorely needed in a time like this. And it’s been our goal this year to make it so that any excess we make goes towards helping trans and queer people in the scene or elsewhere. Well, for this show, all profits will go to the TRACTION, a Seattle based org that helps trans refugees relocate away from states which are taking their rights, violence, or discrimination. We are never going to stop fighting to create joy for trans people, directly or indirectly. We’re all gonna make it together <3
Now, back to the show! Our lineup this time features DJs and drag performances between the sets. One of the performers are doing both a drag set and a DJ set! We’re going with a hard club sound, as hard club has a deep trans history. Here’s the list!
ASTURD AURELIA: Joining us after this star shown so bright on Dragula Season 4 and Dragula Titans, Astrud Aurelia will steal your heart and soul like a babe outta hell. She shashayed into the scene in 2017 and has been killing it ever since, serving horror, filth, and glamour with both her stunning looks and incredible talent as a musician. Did you know she’s a part of the furry (or should we say scalie) scene too? This dragon is a force to be reckoned with! Don’t miss her performance and, if interested, a meet and greet as she makes her Kremwerk debut.
SUMMONING CIRCLE: irene hu djs as summoning circle. with adoration for genres like hard drum, footwork, ‘deconstructed club’, rhythm game music, hardcore, ambient, raptor house, and vocaloid, her impromptu approach to mixing changes by the week. influenced by the digital worlds that helped her construct her identity, she often chases intensity with mischievous blends and an abrasive sound.
FLOOD: Flood drops the kind of tracks that make SoundCloud commenters say “you just gonna turn me up after i already done broke my neck,” “this uncaramelized my onions,” and “this is art im twerking rn.” They’re best known for their jersey club hailing out of the Twerknation28 camp, and dubstep that lands on Halcyon and Disciple Round Table. This is that motherfucker that turns subwoofers to dance tutorials the way your feet will uncontrollably skitter. They describe their own work as, quote: “very diverse sets of epic and awesome music – lots of club music and fast energy music.” Catch this Cali local in full ultra 4k HD live… or miss out on the set of your life.
BRENDA BANKS: Brenda Banks has been doing drag for 13 years, and loves to serve a mixture of dance and camp. Come open an account in her deposit box some time, why don’tcha?
LAMB//CHOPS: LAMB//CHOPS is a DJ from the San Francisco Bay Area, who specializes in [Jersey] Club Music. Pulling not just from the smooth, sample heavy Jersey Club, but from its multiple different subgenres. From think break centric Baltimore Club, to chaotic, balls to the wall Philly Club. All sharing a distinct kick pattern that cultivates such an infectiously fun energy!
BUSTY THE CLOWN: About to cartwheel his way into your heart, Busty the Clown is going to show the true meaning of clowning around. He’s a riot on the stage and an incredible singer, so come find out where that trail of scarves goes?
BAD GRRL: From on the stage to behind it BAD GRRL brings the heat no matter what she’s doing. Our resident tech witch, AV master, and also spinner of straight fire, joins us this time on stage to make the entire club bounce with an eclectic collection of club, house, and things even harder :3
SOGGY DOGGY/GOO-CHI: Goo-Chi started hanging around the queerlesque/drag scene in Dallas many years ago. She has recently gotten back into the drag scene in Seattle as a stage creature for Pony’s monthly Bump in the Night, a horror drag and dance party. She debuted her first performance at BitN for Halloween. As a long time furry, she’s been itching to mix queer-centric creature drag with the furry scene. Check out her performance for a sensual & silly fun time.
UNHOLY VEGAS: UnholyVegas is a saber toothed baddie who’s obsessed with big cats and being a party animal! She started DJing in VRChat as DJSpaceCat and recently played her first in-person gigs at FWA 2025, including Beast Bloc (an all POC furry day party) and the Brat Party. She spins house, disco, vogue beats, jersey club and basically anything that makes you move. She’s here to make you sweat! She’s excited to make this event her Seattle DJ Debut! Let’s dance!
