“I’m a huge fan of research,” shares Honey. “So putting this compilation together was basically going into my dancefloor experience and finding gems I wanted to present to people that they may not have been familiar with or that they didn’t even know existed.”

She continues: “The dancefloor to me is a sacred space. I feel like I’m a facilitator of spirit through sound. Dancefloors are healing spaces, sexual spaces, joyful spaces, liberating spaces.

“They’re places for people to discover who they are, to leave behind your worries, to celebrate with your friends, to dance, to get laid, to have fun. The dance floor is a reflection of life and I take it very seriously.”
