Den Fam

Ever wondered about the people who make DDPP Chicago happen? Wonder no more.

DJ Khaleesi

DJ Khaleesi

DJ Khaleesi is a corporate baddie, but there are days when office life is a little stifling. DDPP is one of her many creative outlets. This dragon queen is a podcaster (She-Ra: Progressive of Power; The Bebop Beat), cosplayer, Tarot reader, bassist, and poet. She loves video games, anime, and her dogs. DJ Khaleesi wants you to know that she named herself BEFORE the Game of Thrones finale (yikes) but stands by her choice. We all want to burn it all down, sometimes.

DJ Disco Biscuit

DJ Disco Biscuit describes her dance style as “if Elaine from Seinfeld had a sense of rhythm.” She loves baking and slaying NYT crossword puzzles, her primary mode of transit is walking, and she will never EVER stop going full-throttle on the floor when “Uptown Funk” plays. She works in social media, talks in hashtags, and feels #blessed to dance with all you lovely heroes.

DJ Leopalooza

The name DJ Leopalooza really tells you everything about this DJ: she is a Leo and will let you know. She also loves a music festival – but she went to Lolla once and that was plenty. A LeoPalooza, though? That’s gonna be a lot of Janet, Gaga, and Charli XCX. And free ice cream for all. When she’s not in the studio, she’s learning how to be a legit disc jockey (turntables and all) and mothering her cats.

DJ Strawberry Buttshake

Born at the height of disco fever, DJ Strawberry Buttshake still believes everything is better with sequins, glitter, and a killer horn section. When she’s not shaking it in the studio, in Zumba class, or at Northern soul dance nights, she’s a singer and multi-instrumentalist who’s performed at local venues from farmers markets to Lincoln Hall. She’s two degrees of separation from Kevin Bacon, and her emotional support boy band is Take That.

DJ Daisy Disco

DJ Stace Odyssey

DJ Stace Odyssey is a treadmill dancer, a dancefloor prancer, and a boogie romancer!  She took ballet and tap classes as a kid, but rails against choreography and prefers to break it down while getting on up. She’s been known to sweat through a t-shirt and relishes every last fast song like it may truly be her last. Can’t wait to meet you on the dance floor!
