Paper Mag Premieres Rissa Garcia's Remix of Emergency Tiara Latest Single "Dancing in the Living Room"
Emergency Tiara's '70s-inflected "Dancing in the Living Room" is an anthem for the times, when clubs are all closed and our only form of escapism can happen at home. Still, frontwoman Juri Jinnai — who was born in Tokyo and lives in NYC — makes the remote occasion as glamorous as any night out in Manhattan. "Dance like no one's watching," she sings, her slithery voice roller skating above the production's rotating disco ball.
Today, Emergency Tiara returns with a full, new remix EP, featuring four updates from legendary DJs who either identify as queer or women: JD Samson (of Le Tigre fame), Rissa Garcia, Kim Anh and Nimmo.

TOUCH OF LOVE #04 — Hosted by Rissa Garcia (NYC)
Brought to you by Music is My Sanctuary
2020 is just about over and thankfully it feels likes the tides are shifting.
We can almost see the light at the end of the tunnel and I hope this mix will accompany you on your journey to that light. I made this mix just thinking about all the good times and good vibes we share through this music. We will dance again….
Music is My Sanctuary: Touch of Love Mixes 003
The latest edition of RIssa Garcia’s Touch of Love Mix Series is now live.
This mix was made with the intention of letting go. After 4 years of turmoil and uncertainty in the US, we finally felt able to breathe again.
With the appointment of our new President Elect here in the states, there was a palpable energy shift in the air, an electric buzz in the streets of NYC and it was inspiring. Touch of Love 003 is a mix made to just close your eyes, breathe and let go of your cares, get lost in the music because for the first time in a long time, I feel hope again.

Good Room Solitude Series 009 - Rissa Garcia
Photo by: Cheyenne Bosco/Feel the Beat Photo
While all of us are living the quarantine life, Good Room has asked friends and residents to share mixes for our Solitude Series so you can dance on your own. The ninth mix comes from Rissa Garcia. NYC-based Rissa Garcia, is the Dancing Room Only resident DJ and founder of NightChild Records. An avid record collector, Rissa brings so much energy and joy to the dancefloor through her DJ sets. Here's what she had to say about her mix;
"Good Room has always been so warm and welcoming to the underground dance community and I’m happy to be able to contribute in any way I can to help them in such an uncertain and tumultuous time for any small business. We have no idea when we will be able to dance together again so I made this mix as a reminder to us all that no matter what we face in life we always have music to help get us through. And as long as we music we are never truly alone. “Who hears music feels his solitude peopled at once"."
Good Room is currently closed due the COVID-19 pandemic. If you would like to donate to the club to help cover staff and fixed costs you can donate on Venmo @goodroombk or PayPal - paypal.me/goodroombk.
