AMPLIFY is an annual, festival-style showcase celebrating Black queer DJs, spinning in Chicago - the birthplace of House music.

House is now a billion-dollar industry. Black queer DJs remain underrecognized by major house festivals, even as progenitors innovating the genre.

AMPLIFY curates against erasure, fundraising for Black queer mutual aid and centering our joy and the ingenuity of our play.
