their own biography
the whole biography
Kirk draws from the city’s foundational house grooves alongside the storied midwest techno of the 90’s, all the way through the raw energy of his beloved Y2K rave generation. Kirk’s reach across a myriad of stages in Chicago and beyond is equally broad. From the basement sweatboxes of the west side to the legendary Metro and smartbar, all the way up to the lofty ARC Festival stages, Kirk has shattered expectations and shaken asses with a sound that is equally rooted as it is relentless. Further afield at the likes of SILO New York and El Cid in LA, (as well as command performances for Boiler Room and Elevator Music), Kirk’s ebullient sound has traveled well beyond the mighty Midwest scenes. As a co-founder and driving force behind Chicago’s notorious BOOTS parties, Kirk gets his hands dirty both behind the decks and behind the scenes. This chaotic and wildly successful staple of Chicago’s world-renowned queer and drag scenes has sold out the city’s top tier venues time and time again, leaving a trail of tinsel and tinnitus wherever they go. The likes of DOSS, LSDXOXO, UNIIQU3, Big Freedia, Martyn Bootyspoon, GRRL, SoFTT, and local legends like Pageant Queens have revelled in the chaos of a BOOTS party, but those who know know - it's the vibe brought by the BOOTS crowd that make it such an infamous affair. When not rocking a dancefloor, Kirk can be found dodging the daylight in the studio, where he’s been honing his signature sound and preparing a raft of releases for various outlets. Complimenting his special blend of sonic influences, and always with an eye for the dancefloor, Kirk’s midwest charm and fair dose of cheekiness constantly show through. Across his many pursuits, Kirk’s indefatigable desire to bring joy and levity to the dancefloor, and the world, comes through in bursts of sound and color and defies you to remain static.Last at Signal in May · often with RaverPik, The Jakob Sister, AREA ØNE, none of them here that night
