Amira Jazeera
Amira Jazeera, a queer Palestinian-American artist and producer based in the vibrant city of Chicago, emerges as a distinctive voice in the contemporary music scene. Raised on a fervent love for pop music, Amira's artistry is a harmonious blend of 80s and 2000’s influences, featuring powerful vocals, catchy melodies, and contemporary R&B/pop production, characterized by emotional depth, sultry undertones, 00’s arabic samples and empowering anthems. Beyond the intricacies of her music, Amira is a trailblazer. Her journey extends beyond the realm of sound, as she fearlessly challenges societal norms, breaking barriers and fostering inclusivity within the industry.
Club Chow
Club Chow is a Taiwanese-American DJ and queer rave enthusiast currently based in Chicago. An omnivorous selector, he blends music across genres and eras with a common undercurrent of euphoric energy and playfulness. Sonic influences include house of the vocal, deep, and acidic varieties, 90's UK rave energy, trippy techno, and clubby bass. He expresses his range via DJ residencies at Berlin Nightclub and Steamworks Baths, and his work as founder/curator of the Forbidden Fruits day party at Easy Does It. He can also be found spinning at underground parties around the city, as well as soundtracking other community-focused LGBTQ events in the city (Dim Sum & Drag, Mom Jeans, Queer Soup Night) Club Chow's taste and versatility have brought him behind the decks at notable Chicago nightclubs such as SmartBar and Podlasie Club, as well as around the US - playing parties in Brooklyn, San Francisco, Seattle, Salt Lake City, and Pittsburgh.
