    their own biography

    the whole biography
    You know it when you hear it: her infectious sound is instantly recognizable, commanding in both dark warehouses and in the daylight. The Baltimore City selector has been a steady cultural mover and undeniable force in dance music. Known for being as versatile as they are technically gifted, featuring all across the spectrum of the US Underground and beyond, her sets pull from grimy club sounds, joyous house, liquid sound design, punishing bass and techno. In a word, her sound is thoroughly queer, tapping into dance music’s radical and transformative potential and leading dancers on a psychedelic dreamride. Jacq has multiple releases on a who’s who of mix series. As much as they work hard to be a diverse and conscious selector, they work twice as hard to be an energy provider and community organizer. In the past year, her warehouse curation has brought a slew of heavy weights: Pariah, Objekt, Ladymonix, Batu, and Kiernan Laveaux, to name a few. She has dedicated her career to bringing the world's best to Baltimore, as well as exposing our own deeply rich musical scene.  Her parties are the stuff of legend, and her authenticity as a scene staple is undeniable. Expect the unexpected.

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    After getting her start performing at underground poetry events in her hometown, she eventually moved on to playing live beat sets during open mic nights at one of KC's most pivotal queer nightlife institutions of the 21st century, the Uptown Arts Bar. Occasionally she'd wander upstairs to Niche, a 100-cap club with a legendary sound system known as the Meta HiFi. There she got her first taste of the sounds of the UK bass continuum and the LA beat scene, with its prominent figureheads like Flying Lotus, Ras G and Shlohmo. Ever the nomad, she would spend her mid-twenties traveling, flitting between cities like New York and LA and the mountainous terrain of the Colorado Rockies. At 26 years old, she left behind a stable career in psychotherapy to pursue her creative dreams. This would lead her back to Niche where a ravenous desire to evolve as an artist connected her with Peter Anthony, aka Coughman, who ran the independent KC collective and label, Intelligent Sound. Soon Anthony encouraged Zo and her friends Mazzy Mann and Lorelei Kretsinger to build a platform of their own. In October 2017, the three of them founded the UN/TUCK queer/trans collective and record label. Over the next two years, they tirelessly built UN/TUCK into an internationally recognized platform, releasing their own music and organizing shows and parties curated specifically for trans and queer people in Kansas City. Under the name BTRFLY, Zo produced her own LA-inspired beats and rapped over them in her sets. As she delved further into the realms of Chicago house, early 2000s UK dubstep, and the hybrid sounds of Hessle Audio, Hyperdub and Idle Hands, she discovered a profound love for DJing and a different kind of production. Now based in Brooklyn, she has made definitive creative statements in 2022, releasing her debut EP, Screw Cheek, on acclaimed UK club label, Scuffed Recordings, and a follow-up EP, Freak Shift, on Martyn's hallowed 3024 imprint, as well as a slew of national bookings at Bunker NY, Texture Detroit, Sole Rehab, clubs like Nowadays, Good Room and Kremwerk, festivals like Slingshot and Honcho Campout and many more on the horizon. It's clear that Zo has solidified her place as an emerging artist firmly in her own lane, with tracks that span the continuum of UK bass and North American techno and house, and mixes that seamlessly capture and defy her genres of interest, blending deep dark percussive bass and broken beat with blistering techno, psychedelic house, east coast club and more.
