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, progenitors innovating the genre, remain underrecognized by major house festivals.

AMPLIFY curates against erasure, fundraises for Black queer mutual aid, and celebrates the ingenuity of our play.
