XOXA’s annual kick off to Pride brings a much anticipated special guest over from London - a DJ, vocalist, and producer with 20+ years behind the decks, rooted in the late-90s UK rave scene and now a key figure in East London’s queer underground. Their penchant for delivering high NRG rave ready sets has earned them a place in festival lineups across the EU/UK so we’re honored to have them join us for an extended 3 hour main room set. DJ Shannon - a beloved resident of The Lot Radio and XOXA - opens the room. When she’s not spinning a soulful and soothing house set, she delivers hard-hitting club, breakbeat, classic and ghetto house, techno, global bass, and hip-hop. Motor City selector Father Dukes ready to lay down a bumping set for the acid freaks. Bringing together a deep respect for Detroit’s musical legacy - Father Dukes crafts immersive sets that balance precision with mystery. The Bad Room features two lengthy sets by two important queer figures - Berlin based DJ by way of Madrid Materia Hache and local NYC multi-talented artist Michael Cignarale. Materia Hache is the founder of FLINTA* collective Others to the Front and mix series House of Others - focusing on a love of house music and deeply entrenched underground resistance that builds community. DJ, producer and vocalist Michael Cignarale channels the sweat, drama and euphoria of classic New York house and ballroom into explosive hybrid performances that blend live vocals with high-energy club sets. A rising icon of the global queer underground, his ecstatic productions and unforgettable stage presence have earned support from artists like The Blessed Madonna and Peach, with DJ Mag naming him one of “Eight Emerging Artists You Need to Hear.” XOXA is a queer-forward space built on inclusivity and respect for everyone to enjoy music and the dance floor. No forms of discrimination will be tolerated, and entrance is at the discretion of the door staff.
