We're bringing the HEAT Friday! đĽľ
|
Imagine! After weeks and weeks of back and forth weather we are finally seeing consistently warm days. Chicagoans are blasting Lil M.U. down Lake Shore Drive, Mario's Italian Lemonade is finally open for the summer and everyone is using the nice weather as an excuse to barbecue for no reason. Just three of a thousand reasons why I love Chicago! This Juneteenth I'll be joining some of the best DJs in the city at Let's Jam!, a community barbecue at the lake. I can't wait to have a Blackity Black time and celebrate all that African-Americans have done to not only build this country, but carry it forwardâeven in the raggediest of times like today. If you haven't heard an afro-house set from me, you'll want to be there! The inaugural AMAPRESSURE is quickly approaching and my body is beyond ready for the night! There are only five discounted tickets left before they go up to $15. Lock in your spot to hear all amapiano, all night long, from all femme DJs! We're bringing the HEAT to The Wild Hare Friday. See you on the dancefloor!
NEW MIX!I went live on 10PMRadio with a really fun, high-energy mix! From Dancehall to Jersey Club, there's truly something for everybody (Black) in this mix. Tune in! Welcome to the DyasphereThis year was the best birthday I've had in several years! Not only did I play two shows that are very aligned with who I am and where I want to go in my career, I simply felt loved and considered by the people around me. While I did not vlog the day of, I did capture the weekend celebrations at ASHAWO and Vigro Deep's show for JAMA! Tap in!

Imagine.. it's 2007 and spiked belts from the beauty supply store are all the rave, you live and breathe DatPiff.com for the latest Lil Wayne and Gucci Mane releases, smartphones are becoming thee thing so you're begging your mom to get you a sidekick phone so you can finally trash your flimsy flip phone for good, then, the next yearâright before Christmas at thatâSouljaboy releases "Kiss Me Thru the Phone." These are some of my formative memories growing up in the early 2000s. Whenever...
Dyasphonic is finally back!! You all donât know how badly Iâve been wanting to bring my first party series back! We had sooo much fun dancing to global bangers, edits, and new releases until the sun came up last year! If you're new here, á¸yasphonic.dance is a dance party that adds spice to your favorite unappreciated genres and blends global tunes that are birthed in Black communities across the globe. At á¸yasphonic, DJs spin the sounds of their heart. For me, that's everything from Afrohouse...
It's taken years for me to fully understand the challenges of being an open format DJ. When I first started spinning, I was excited to learn how to mix different genresâto understand them separately in order to understand how to merge them in a way audiences can understand. I still love that I'm so expansive that the music I play reflects that. I mean, as DJ Dyaspara (pronounced diaspora) how could you put me in a box? But over time I learned that some promoters understand their brands more...
