     Every year the mission statement changed. Not because we did not know what we were doing, but because we were learning what we were doing while doing it. Here is the archaeology.

    +## 2021: The blog
    +
    +SLIST started as an anonymous Instagram blog in Mexico City. The mission was one sentence: find the darkest raves and tell people about them. No revenue model. No team. No events. Just curation. The account existed to get on guest lists and help DJs who had been generous with a tourist who could not speak Spanish.
    +
    +## 2022: The community
    +
    +The mission expanded to community building. The nalgoticas group formed — 100 curated women getting first access to every guest list. The WhatsApp group grew to 600 members. The private Instagram account became a digital guest list. The mission: build the most engaged dark music community in CDMX through curation, not content.
    +
    +## 2023: The events
    +
    +Returned to NYC. Started throwing events. First one had 60 people with a week of promotion. The mission became: prove that the CDMX model works in New York. Dark music only. No compromises on sound. Community over clout. The events were not the original plan — they were forced by the trajectory. We never wanted to do events. We just wanted to make flyers and book people.
