DykeChow
DykeChow is a Detroit-based musician and DJ who brings a punk rock attitude to the dancefloor, inspired by the early 80s NYC nightlife scene and the British Second Summer of Love. After growing up in New Orleans surrounded by the city’s laissez-faire baccanalia, she began DJing in college with the Michigan Electronic Music Collective (MEMCO) at the University of Michigan and moved to Detroit to immerse herself in Detroit's rich dance music landscape. Her exciting style seamlessly journeys between the worlds of acid, house, techno/IDM, synth-pop and italo-disco, and more.
DykeChow's musical storytelling pays tribute to her Khmer heritage and draws upon the nearly-destroyed legacy of the Golden Age of Cambodian rock and pop music of the 1960s and 70s. As a lesbian and transgender artist, her art pushes the importance of queer self-expression through dance and nightlife culture. DykeChow stands defiantly against the capitalist systems that exploit and oppress people and the Earth.
