3,777 furries came out to Center City in Philadelphia this weekend for the ninth annual Furrydelphia. Held again in the Sheraton Philadelphia Downtown hotel, this year’s theme was ‘Hoagiecon’, a spin on the east coast convenience store chain Wawa’s annual Hoagiefest.

MAJIC Records, a BIPoC music collective, was the Guest of Honor at this year’s Furrydelphia. Consisting of BlackMajic, Jaylaflame, Hidama, TheKitoDiet, FlyToTheNight, Gozi, and friends, it was started by BlackMagic at Midwest FurFest in 2021. MAJIC Records also helps run Digital Revolution Festival (DigiFest), a musical event held at various furry conventions.

At their Saturday morning panel, BlackMajic and other members recalled their history in the furry fandom and how they ended up joining MAGIC Records. Jaylaflame, for instance, told the story of how he and BlackMajic met on a basketball court when they were pre-tweens and later became furries. They also hosted a plug-n-play session Friday morning where artists shared their music, gave feedback, and networked.

Last-minute, an additional Guest of Honor was added: TEMG, a young artist and game developer, who came with his family.
