A proud founding member of the Pride Cheerleading Association, CSB has raised over $170,000 since 2003, and continues to give 100% of the money raised earnings to the nonprofits we serve. DJ DaiGroovie is an eclectic DJ, artist, and producer hailing from the West Side of Chicago. With a background rooted in innovation and groove, he has brought his sound to major stages—including the Pygmalion Festival, where he opened for JPEGMAFIA, performances for Mayor Lori Lightfoot, and shows across Chicago and the Champaign-Urbana music scene. He holds a degree in Music Technology and is currently pursuing his master’s in the field, blending technical expertise with artistic vision. Through his music and art, Np0 / DJ DaiGroovie creates spaces that amplify underrepresented voices and shed light on overlooked issues, using sound as both expression and platform. Queer Dance Freakout is an interactive performance spectacle! This company of queer, trans, and nonbinary choreographers and storytellers will perform a variety of devised, dance, and performance art pieces that will have audiences booty shaking, grooving, and connecting with the queer community. Queer Dance Freakout is ever changing as each performance the company writes and choreographs new pieces so no Freakout is the same as before. DJ Adumak is a genre-hopping DJ with a knack for making unlikely tracks work together, blending the likes of electro-pop, 2000s nostalgia, Midwest rap, SoCal R&B, and any other tracks they can’t get out of their head. Drawing influence from the roots of Chicago house, New York club culture, Seattle grunge, and the Dutch electronic scene, Adumak creates sets that feel both familiar and unpredictable. A sweaty club night, a warehouse, or a laid-back session, the goal always stays the same: keep it cute, keep it unpredictable, and keep the dance floor guessing.
