DJ Flirty800 Wants You to Leave Your Boyfriend

Welcome to SOUND ADVICE, Interview’s weekly destination for playlists curated by our friends, enemies, and lovers. In recent weeks, we’ve featured playlists from PinkPantheress, Between Friends, and Tommy Genesis. This week’s installment comes from DJ and producer Wade Harley Harris, better known by NYC nightlife heads as flirty800. You might have sweated it out on the dance floor to his sets at an NYFW rager, the Sweat tour afterparty, or an early morning at Basement, but now you can dance to his music at home. His debut four-track EP, My Mind, is less techno-maze and more angsty nu-gaze, a vibe he describes as “slut grunge summer”—with hot new music videos to match. Listen to this playlist, featuring Madonna, Isabella Lovestory, and Pet Shop Boys, as he reveals where he dances, what he works out to, and how he quenches his thirst.
