Your instincts are correct. I am a fake human - android - a Life Model Decoy
from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I have come to take you inside
The Framework, an alternate world where music is created
by machines rather than by mortal men.
I will serve as hostess for this edition of Shady Del Knight's rave series
featuring EDM remixes of hits by the hottest and coolest female R&B
hip hop and dance-pop artists played back-to-back in a continuous mix.
It is a rave you will remember forever (or until I wipe your brain clean).

It is a rave you will remember forever (or until I wipe your brain clean).
Here in The Framework you will dance, shed your worries and
regrets and be young again. If you refuse you will be destroyed -
nothing personal - but yes, I will have no choice but to eliminate you.
Escape with me now to the realm that lies beyond the valley of the dolls.
Meet my Raving Beauties and dance like your life depends on it. It does!
And remember - anything men can do... women can do better!
