June JAMS is around the corner and it’s time to shake your
tail feather with friends!! 🪶

We can’t wait to shuffle, slide, and shimmy on the floor
with you to the sounds of 3 fabulous DJs for our next edition! 🤗

Please give a warm welcome to our headliner : a West Side Chicago native and house music devotee who has built a rabid following since exploding onto the scene in 2021. He found his true passion and obsession with house music after helping digitize Frankie Knuckles’ 5,000+ record collection and carries that reverence into every set: deep, jackin’, spiritual sounds that are always for the floor. Listening back to the insane energy from his Queen! debut, we know we’re in for a delightful dance 🤩

On opening duties we welcome a special pair of friends who will kick us off proper: and our beloved resident Home Team. DJ Got Worms is a true creature of the underground. As co-founder of the Cultivate party series, he curates and nurtures the raw, gritty, experimental and boundary-pushing sounds from central WI and beyond 🛸

needs little introduction in Madison but as his House/Garage productions continue to blow up (releases on Rhythm Vibe, Cheap Talk, The Pool House, Aterral, Tied, SnackTime and Plastik People Recordings) and big opening slots continue (Paul Johnson, Michael Serafini, Garrett David, Fortune, Justin Long, Flava D, Adam Port, Jevon Jackson, + many more) we love to brag about him here! ❤️‍🔥

Shouting out to our larger crew of regular support here

It’s people like us that make these nights so special ✨

Gathering on the mirrored dancefloor, under the full moon, in the incense, it’s heavenly 💫

Limber up those limbs: the sun is out and it’s time to JAM!! 🌞

For our May installment we’re elated to welcome a rapidly rising star in Chicago’s club circuit !

Expect a feral, genre-blending set of tribal and tech-y house and rave energies and keep an eye and ear out as she continues a sensational rise as club technician and dancefloor curator ✨

On opening duties we have a special sendoff set from JAMS co-founder (making his westward journey this summer) and our original partyboy architect .language.processing ! This warm up set is guaranteed to be as silly as it is sentimental and we can’t wait to see what sizzling surprises the boys have in store for the floor. Come early and stay late! 🪩
