When nocturnal desires begin to stir, and escapades are near, Graaf Drankula emerges onto the stage. The original underground dandy, the Count fills the dancefloor with intense queer love beats, fierce wave, and filthy top hits. Carefree yet manic, he takes you on a homo-eclectic journey, seamlessly floating with grace between eras and genres.
Count Drankula is the flamboyant alter ego of Jordi Ariza Gallego, a notorious bon vivant from the Amsterdam queer scene, with decades of experience organizing infamous queer nights and slightly hysterical pop-culture parties. By daylight, he is the curator of Sociëteit SEXYLAND, a conceptual club where experimentation and the courage to dare, to fail, are central. With the mindset of always connecting (sub)culture, art and other expressions of enthusiasm, across all layers of society. Solidarity and radical heterogeneity form the foundation; unexpected encounters are the result.
That same conceptual spirit lives on in the sounds the Count presents on the dancefloor. Bring out the booze, light the matches; let’s set this night on fire. Free your algorithm, and your ass will follow.
