Mistress Moon have released their latest single, “Playing Games,” via independent platforms on April 18. Built by Joey Francis (Bad Nonno) and John Anthony DeJoria, the project continues its concept-driven approach—channeling a fictional celestial entity to guide the tone and intention behind each release.
“Playing Games” stays rooted in lo-fi aesthetics: tape-warped melody, restrained percussion, and low-slung bass work that lets space do the heavy lifting. There’s no push toward crescendo. Instead, the track loops with purpose—favoring repetition and quiet introspection over narrative payoff.
Based between Austin and Los Angeles, the duo has described Mistress Moon as a muse-driven narrative that represents emotional states through planetary allegories. This single mirrors that framework. It feels lunar—slow, pulled by gravity, half-lit.
The release also suggests a broader project on the horizon. As a standalone track, “Playing Games” acts as a tone-setter—low-key, emotionally layered, and full of sonic texture. It’s a solid entry for DJs looking to open with mood, or listeners who favor reflection over rush.
