This mix was never intended to be “just another Pride playlist.” It was designed with purpose, intention, and story. Every song was thoughtfully selected by DJ Yoga John to create an emotional and energetic journey through Coming Out, liberation, self-discovery, celebration, spirituality, and Pride itself.
