About Catalyst

DJ Kronos has been a part of the kink scene for about 18 years. He has been involved with Catalyst for 3 years, helping bring back Naughty Karaoke and other events, then becoming a Director when we moved in 2015. He has been organizing and designing dungeons for about 8 years including Indy KISS Club (Indianapolis), Karnival  (Fox Valley, WI), and several dungeons for one-time events. He has also DJed for many kink events including Kinkfest 2014 and many play parties. Kronos became involved in the Sex Positive community upon meeting and partnering with Darklady and being inspired by other people’s journeys and the acceptance they found at Catalyst.
