Listen on SoundCloud

Her set language is house and breakbeat-heavy, with an all-vinyl bias and a strong pull toward ecstatic, singed-by-personality selections. The festival slot is a talk, so expect her to connect floor music to rave history, community, and altered-state thinking rather than play a straight club set.

More about Eris Drew

She co-runs T4T LUV NRG with Octo Octa, releases on Interdimensional Transmissions and Naive, and has long ties to Chicago's Smart Bar and Bunker NY. She is part of the generation that turned Chicago house memory into practical DJ culture, and her writing around the 'Motherbeat' has become part of her public identity.
