Part Two of this special Florida Leather Week series picks up exactly where the ascent left off — right in the middle of the heat, sweat, and surge inside the Bear Haus at the iconic Eagle Wilton Manors.

If Part One lit the fuse, Part Two is the explosion:
deeper basslines, darker edges, bigger peaks, and a room that refused to stop moving.

This is the moment the night cracked open — when the crowd synced into one pulse and the energy hit that rare, spiritual level only a leather-week floor can reach.

Recorded live, unfiltered, and exactly as the room felt, this mix pushes deeper into progressive tech house, more neon-underbelly, more sweat-on-skin, more everything.

Close your eyes, step back into the Bear Haus, and let Part Two carry you the rest of the way.

Velvet Nation with Boy Joey — where the night never ends.

Velvet Nation with Boy Joey returns with a special two-part series recorded live during Florida Leather Week — and Part One drops you straight into the heat of it.

Captured inside the legendary Bear Haus at Eagle Wilton Manors, this episode blends progressive tech house, sweaty basement energy, and the raw electric pulse that only a leather-week crowd can bring.

This is the sound of bodies moving, lights low, vibes high — a room packed shoulder-to-shoulder with folks who came to feel the music, not just hear it.

Part One sets the tone:
steady burn → deep groove → full ignition.

Part Two will take you even higher. 🔥

Press play, dive into the moment, and welcome back to Velvet Nation.

This week on Velvet Nation, I’m giving you an exclusive preview of my debut set at the iconic Eagle Wilton Manors — just in time for Florida Leather Week, when the energy is hotter, heavier, and charged with that unmistakable South Florida pulse.

I’ll be taking over the Bear Cave, delivering a progressive tech-house journey built for bodies in motion and hearts beating in the dark. Expect deep, rolling basslines, sharp percussion, and that trademark Velvet Nation mood — seductive, underground, and wrapped in leather-week intensity.

This mix is a taste of what’s coming: gritty, hypnotic, and ready to shake the walls.

Step into the Cave. Step into the night.

Welcome back to Velvet Nation.

On this Episode of Velvet Nation we are again Live from Rehoboth Bear's week at Diego's in Rehoboth Beach Delaware.

Rehoboth showed off in the best way — warm skies, perfect air, and that electric sense of summer freedom. This live set, recorded at Diego’s for the Bears Week opening, captures the spirit of the night: deep house grooves, disco sparkle, and tribal rhythms rolling into moments of pure release.

It wasn’t about a packed floor — it was about the people who were there, soaking up the music and the energy under perfect weather. Press play and let the sound take you back to that coastal night where everything just felt right.

🔥 Velvet Nation with Boy Joey brings you the full live recorded set from Deep-House, Deep-Fetish, captured at the legendary Ramrod in Fort Lauderdale.

This mix is dark, driving, and unapologetically deep — the kind of set that thrives in a room built for sweat, leather, and unfiltered energy. For those who were there, here’s your chance to relive it. For everyone else, welcome to the floor.

Press play, sink into the groove, and let the night take over.

In this Episode of Velvet Nation, Boy Joey gives you a taste of what’s about to go down in Fort Lauderdale at Ramrod’s Deep-House, Deep-Fetish - Friday August 29th, 2025.

Dark, driving, and unapologetically dirty—this preview set rides the line between hypnotic deep house grooves and raw underground energy. Think late-night basements, sweat-drenched leather, and a pulse that won’t quit.

Consider this your invitation into the vibe before the night even begins. If you can’t make it to the floor this Friday, plug in and let Velvet Nation take you there.

A few weeks ago, I found out my MS has progressed. Things haven’t fallen apart, but they’ve shifted — enough to rattle me, to shake up my routines, and to hit me deep in places I thought were solid.

Then on Saturday, July 19th, just hours before a gig, I had what may have been an MS attack. I blacked out, fell down a flight of stairs, and was unconscious for hours. I nearly missed the show — something I never let happen. And it rocked me.

This mix was born from that moment. It’s grief and rage and hope and defiance, translated into sound. You’ll hear it in the tracklist — from “As The Rush Comes” to “Sky Falls Down” — it’s all there. Not just a set, but a message.

And through it all, I’ve been lucky. Lucky to be held — truly held — by the love of my partners: Rogue, Champ, and Tink. Their support has been the ground beneath my feet.

I’m endlessly grateful for the constant presence of my friend Albee, one of the kindest, fiercest souls I know.

And I’ve felt the quiet, steady strength of my family, who continue to show up in ways that matter.

This isn’t just a mix. It’s me — cracked open and still dancing.

Even when the sky falls down… we dance.

Recorded Live: Code Room at the Baltimore Eagle - Saturday, July 19th, 2025

Opening with slow-burning tension and dark undertones, the set ascends through soaring synthscapes, relentless grooves, and climactic drops that echo the raw energy of the room.
