ABOUT THE DJS

DJ Nanoos is a queer Arab DJ in Chicago highlighting the sounds of North Africa and the Levant. Nanoos aims to share music of her region with contemporary sounds by mixing and blending with Hip-Hop, Afrobeats, Amapiano, House and more.

NAXÖ is a queer nonbinary multidisciplinary sound artist and healer, based in Chicago and born/raised in Egypt. Their SWANA musical fusions flow within groovy electronic polyrhythms and basses, rhythmic structures influenced by Arabic pop, tarab, rock, jazz, trap, trance and psychedelic music. NAXÖ has been featured for their works on Chicago Reader, Chicago Zine Fest, Windy City Times, Philly Weekly, Queer Aesthetics and others. They performed and produced with some of the finest fusion bands, teams and projects in clubs, theaters, festivals and others for over a decade. Their sound explores psychological narratives, subjectivities, and streams of consciousness to navigate personal transformations featuring transparent voices calling to resist, embedded deep within a wider frequency, energy and vibration. You can lose and find yourself, shaking your soul to their music. Be ready to hezzzzz (shake it hard in Arabic) it all!
