Blu 9

Chicago born and raised dj/producer within the ranks of the underground house/techno scene. Djing is more than playing and mixing music. Makes my soul happy.

A trained musician since age six, music has been the forefront and paved the path of her journey. Starting with violin, and followed by percussion and some piano, she benefited from ongoing training and exposure throughout her school aged years, which fueled both her creativity and love for all types of music. Watching family members at a young age spin in the Chicago club scene, starting off on T

echnics and watching how they created the energy of the dance floor, all in the while thinking, “Yes, I want and can do that!”
While the demands of schooling, career, and family took over as it tends to do, music remained a priority focus as she kept close watch over the evolution of her favorite genres, in particular house and techno music. When the time was right, she came back out of background and started to play the music that made her fall in love with the genres. Currently, using music in her daily life with her students she changed the way she thought about and interacted with genres of house and techno music. Using and teaching the soul of it to her special needs students has been a priority and matching music with choreography has been another manifestation of creativity. “The most beautiful sight to watch is my daughter dancing to what we created….beauty.”
Born and raised in the suburbs of Chicago, she’s played Chicago’s clubs including Spybar, Primary Night Club (Poolhouse), Estate, Fedora Lounge, SC, SSS, Rodan, Crocodile, Studio 200 (Milwaukee) all the while holding a steady residency at Rivers Casino. If you are lucky and the night owl you can see and hear her at various afterhours across the city. Her mixes can also be heard on several radio shows such as Strictly Dance Radio and Underground House TV. Also, she is currently working on projects and tracks with Afterdark Recordings and PhunkJunk Records. Her sound is deep, smooth, and sometimes dark and complex, with soulfulness infused. Depending on her mood, the energy of the dance floor as well as her decision to play the electric violin and drums with her sets shapes and molds the vibe of the room.
“Appreciation of classics is what molds the future of music. It's what moves your soul. Just me doing what I love!

New Mix Alert!
Happy 2025!!! Starting the year off with tracks from my sets from New Years!
Getting it going with some drum n bass track and ending it with one of my favorites. Also included is my homage to old trance with my new track Waiting For You. Have new productions ready to go find homes and excited for music. We need music right now and creativity, self expression is so important right now during what may be some dark times ahead.
Enjoy!

Perfect Sunday in to lay low. Sorry everyone if I am not out and about much. I am laying low until the holidays are over with and gearing up for Grammys 😍 Working on more new music and mixes. Plus, this is my first Grammy experience and have no idea wtf to expect. So this leaves me with another question. My friends who are stylists: Who wants to style me for the Grammys????? I'd love to represent Chicago!
And while you're at it, head over to Sound cloud to my latest mix Link in comments

We are about 3 weeks post election and my stance has not wavered...not an inch. If you voted for that horrible excuse of man:
If you are a DJ , I stop supporting and working with you.
If you are a promoter/venue owner, I will not play for you.
If they are a partygoer, I am not inviting you or don't come.
I do not reward bigotry, racism, sexism, or hatred. We remove it from our space for the sake of protecting the oppressed and vulnerable.
Also, turning a blind eye is just as bad imo. I will continue to fight for you even though you probably won't do the same for me.
FIND YOUR TRIBE!!!!

Love note to my fans and followers. It's going to be ok.....
Let me know how I can help.
"Don't let politics ruin your relationships"
It's funny how this is almost always said by the same people who voted against your rights.
I don't feel comfortable around you. I suppose the silver lining is that the those you see celebrating this victory are just pointing out that they are an unsafe person.
If theyare a DJ, stop promoting or supporting them.
If they are an artist/musician, stop buying their work.
If theyare a promoter, stop going to their events.
If they are a partygoer, don't invite them.
We do not reward bigotry, racism, sexism, or hatred. We remove it from our space for the sake of protecting the oppressed and vulnerable.
You cannot tell someone you love them and then try to take their rights away.
Stay tuned for more music!! Raw, dark and angry!
