As 2023 rolls to a close, DJ Paulette is predictably in demand, but she’s still found time to put together the fourth installment of her Global Residency series—and it’s pitched perfectly for the end of the year. “I’m just coming back down to earth after my back-to-back set with The Blessed Madonna closing Homobloc in Manchester last month—thanks to any of you that came down to party with us,” she tells Apple Music. “I’m gearing up to release my memoir Welcome to the Club: The Life and Lessons of a Black Woman DJ in January but in the meantime, this month’s mix is about the changing colors and temperatures of fall. The shimmery foggy mornings, the sticky runs, the steamy dance floors, the sweaty clubs…and the uplifting communion comes from Lyric, Shermanology, CamelPhat (feat. Ali Love), and Mark Knight, Green Velvet & James Hurr—plus many, many more.”
