SEDENTARY

about

SEDENTARY is a Brooklyn-based DJ and curator of House of FLINTA*. They explore hardgroove, hypnotic, and industrial-leaning techno, drawing on percussive, groove-focused rhythms, loop-driven structures, and raw, textural sound design, moving slowly through long transitions that build tension and release. Rooted in experimentation and community, SEDENTARY’s work centers on inclusive dance floors.

  1. What are your “tells” behind the decks — what makes a set feel like you?

    I focus on building a subtle dialogue between the sound and the listener. Through long, overlapping transitions and carefully layered textures, I create a space for people to explore their thoughts and feelings. The goal is a deep, shared journey, a connection that’s less about the DJ and more about how each person experiences the music.

  2. What were some of your main creative challenges in the beginning and how have they changed over time?

    Early on, I focused heavily on the technical side of DJing, worrying about perfect cue points and how a mix “should” flow. I realized that technical skill is just a tool, not the core of a set. Letting intuition guide me instead of overthinking opened up a more personal, expressive way of playing, where transitions happen when the energy feels right, not when the waveform dictates.

  3. Congrats on kicking off House of FLINTA* series at Bossa Nova Civic Club! Can you share a bit more about your motivations behind it and what you hope the project to be in the upcoming year?

    I started House of FLINTA* because I saw so many incredible FLINTA* artists in NYC who weren’t getting the visibility they deserved. I wanted to create a space where more FLINTA* DJs could be spotlighted and supported. In the coming year, I hope the series helps more artists find their voice, more community members feel welcome and at ease, and more connections form across the community.

    For me, it’s not just about putting on another party, it’s about building a space where people feel seen, heard, and comfortable talking to each other, growing together, and knowing they belong. The goal is connection, representation, and a platform where support and creativity can truly flourish.

  4. What does it mean to you to center queer & FLINTA* artists in spaces you’re a part of?

    Centering queer and FLINTA* artists means creating spaces where people feel they belong, where their creativity is valued, and where they can take up space without hesitation. It’s about amplifying voices often overlooked and building an inclusive, supportive, and inspiring community. For me, it’s deeply personal. Seeing others feel empowered reminds me why I do this.

  5. When people listen back to your radio set, what do you hope stays with them?

    I hope this set helps people connect more deeply with themselves. I often listen to mixes to move through different phases of my life, sometimes to focus, sometimes to reflect, and sometimes simply to be present with my thoughts. Music becomes a tool for listening inward, and I hope listeners can find something in this set that resonates with their own inner state.
