You know that thing where everything is terrible, but then Dreams by The Cranberries comes on and suddenly everything is fine? That's Dopamine Dupe! It's the songs that bring you back from the brink // the SSRI of radio shows // your musical alternative to a labotomy. No genre, no gender, no thoughts, just vibes. Tune in, besties!
The Mamas & the Papas are here!!! In an incredibly special episode of Dopamine Dupe, DJ She/They sits down with four of her dearest pals (Natalie aka DJ Lil' Lemon, John aka DJ Zaddy, Chelsea aka Mommy City, & Dan aka DJPC), all of whom are sashaying into parenthood this year. We have the sweetest lil gab session about the music they're passing down to the perfect children they've brought into the world, and the role these songs & artists played in their own childhood.
DJ She/They needs a vacation from being unemployed! And no vacation is complete without some intense family competition. DJ Dad joins us in the studio for a very special Vacation edition of Dopamine Dupe Drafts, and the two spin summer bop after summer bop while counting down the hours to a lakeside cocktail.

It is officially June 1, which means y'all are legally obligated to compliment your local queer. DJ She/They is ringing in this joyous season by simultaneously being bad at math and spinning nothin' but queer artists singing about queer joy, queer love, & queer resistance. Remember that Love is Love but Love is also fighting like hell. Happy Pride!!

The inaugural episode (!!!) in which DJ She/They, fresh out of DJ certification, lays out the thesis of DD, waxes nostalgic for 2009, unsubtly namedrops and unapologetically stans the band Upstate, and says "um" a lot.
