their own biography
the whole biography
Hailing from Chicago, CTRLZORA is an event (THE COWRIE) and music curator, producer, artist collective co-founder, DJ, musician, and dance music equitist from Chicago. They aim to contribute to keeping the electronica dance scene alive and soulful through house, techno, jazz, funk, world music, and more. CTRLZORA carries a sound that cannot be confused for anything short of authentic and raw, spanning from the furthest corners of Midwestern dance music all the way to the expansive sounds of the African diaspora and beyond, often collaborating with the creators of the original Warehouse and Music Box Chicago, and US Studios, prior to those. Paying homage to the history and liberation of music within communities of color across genres is their central focus, alongside perpetuating the tradition of house music in its originator, Chicago, and black and queer culture. They've spearheaded activism efforts to preserve historical venues of Chicago like The Post and The Warehouse, pushing to keep the integrity and history of the music's roots alive. They have also participated in panels and have been invited for lectures on the subject of Black Social and Cultural intersections in dance music and gatherings in the midwest and beyond. Mentored by the very architects of soulful house and techno, C Zora has frequently played and spoken at venues and on platforms such as Smartbar, The Lot Radio, the Silverroom Block Party, The Frankie Knuckles Festival, Chicago House Music Festival, Art Basel, Movement Detroit Weekend, University of Chicago, Public Records Brooklyn, Nowadays Brooklyn, The Post Chicago, The Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago Cultural Center, and various venues and radio stations throughout the city and beyond. Zora has also had the honor of playing and collaborating alongside greats such as Lil Louis, Juan Atkins, Gene Hunt, Glenn Underground, Musclecars, Timmy Regisford, Celeste Alexandar, and Ron Trent. Infusing their own spiritual associations with music, Zora aims to create an energy that brings somatic healing not only to themselves but also to their listeners. Quick to draw from the archives while blending with modern reiterations, Zora shares their open love letters to music and mutual sonic communion with every crowd.Recently at public records, H0L0, Dead Letter No. 9 · often with JADALAREIGN, Stonie Blue, Colored Craig, none of them here that night

their own biography
the whole biography
AG is a Queens born DJ and creative whose sound is shaped by the energy of New York and the rhythm of Medellín. Raised around music through his father, a Brooklyn DJ, his connection to sound started early and continues to evolve through both heritage and experience. His sets are driven by groove and emotion, blending deep and soulful house with touches of R&B, disco, and Latin rhythm. Influenced by the timeless artistry of Sade, Stevie Wonder, and George Michael, his approach leans into feeling, musicality, and intention. More than just track selection, AG focuses on building a feeling in the room; warm, intimate, and immersive. Each set unfolds as a journey, balancing subtlety with moments of release. With a strong connection to community and culture, AG approaches DJing as both a musical and human experience, creating spaces where people can connect, move, and find their own frequency.Recently at Mood Ring, MAD Radio NYC, Jupiter Disco · often with Alex Raouf, Tone Troy, Omar Ludwig, none of them here that night
