Mx.blaire (US)

Blaire’s reverence for 90s house, hard-hitting techno, and mind-bending acid guarantees an active dance floor, kept enthralled by intentionally placed breaks and thrilling interplays of tempos and textures. As a result of their dedicated vinyl practice, Blaire’s sets are also technically engaging, with brilliant phrasing and thoughtful touches of turntablism. Her mastery behind the decks gives Blaire the space to really work her selections—manipulating the record unites her energy with the track and transmits it to every dancer on the floor. Through these sonic communications, they explore concurrent themes of resistance & joy and existence & play with the crowd.

In addition to sharing her gifts through her DJ sets, Blaire betters Boston’s underground through her organizing, for the queer dance music collective Boudoir and her new series Sheer Bliss. These themed parties—graced by guests like Ariel Zetina, Lakuti, and SPRKLBB and Mutualism—exhibit the extraordinary strength and kinship of the community Blaire has helped come together. It’s hard to find parties filled with as much uninhibited delight. Furthering her commitment to community care, she has created a space for rejuvenation of body and mind during turbulent times, her intimate Sunday ambient and downtempo party called Sweetie Pie.

A trusted and beloved star in Boston, Blaire has caught the attention of formidable East Coast and Midwest DJs and organizers from Nick Boyd/Sorry Records in New York to Club Chow/Club Gauche in Chicago to Jellyfish in Pittsburgh, and they have played such clubs as Good Room, Basement, smartbar, and Marble Bar. In fall 2024, she went on the road with Eris Drew and Octo Octa for their LUV NRG Soundsystem tour—a perfect fit, as Blaire exhibits the sincerity, the deftness, and the rave-rousing multidimensionality the pair is famous for and that will keep her captivating dancers for many years to come.
