the unmasking

she was a bedroom DJ in the 80s — beat-matching cassettes before she had words for why her brain wouldn't quit. decades of masking. one diagnosis. a slow unspooling of who she'd been performing. njremix is where she writes it down — memory as the source material, music as the throughline, and a refusal to make any of it look quiet or tidy.
