Being potentially the only reliable sources of information from that night, I set out to interview them both for their take on bio-femming the “Machoncho-muchachos” and the highs and lows of being so celebrated with the gays.ĭoc Sleep, the founder of San Fran–based label Jacktone Records, techno producer and decades long waxslinger, met me for a Skype with the needs-no-introduction Black Madonna, who was literally getting her hair done when we called.
