By Info Help

If you were raised or lived in the Chicago land area for a predominant amount of time, then you are well aware that some of the most famous DJs in the world have been produced from the great city of Chicago.

As you may or may not know, this particular industry is typically dominated by male DJs; however, there have been a few shining stars in this industry that have broken the barriers and amazed and captivated fans, not only in their hometown, but also around the world with their amazing beats, techniques and style.

In this hub, I am going to introduce you to the world of female DJs by introducing some of Chicago’s finest!

 

DJ Psycho-Bitch

MUSIC: Deep House, Electro-house, Funky House, Hard House, House, Progressive, Progressive House, Tech House, Techno and Trance

One of Chicago’s hard-hitting female DJs that successfully captivates thousands of party-goes on a weekly basis is DJ Psycho-Bitch. Psycho-Bitch’s career is a successful one that has spanned over a period of two decades and she has established her style of music as the pioneering force in underground music.

Not only does DJ Psycho-Bitch capture the attention of party-goers worldwide, she also entertains her guests every time she performs as she has an energy level that matches her personality. I have seen quite a few DJs perform live sets and I must say that nobody’s music will touch you deeper than that of DJ Psycho-Bitch.

After spinning on the Chicago scene for more than 15 years, an easy word to describe DJ Psych-Bitch is experienced! She currently has residency at multiple clubs in the city of Chicago which include Sound-Bar and Crobar. In the DJ industry, the term ‘residency’ refers to the clubs or locations that a particular DJ performs at on a weekly basis.

For many Chicago and people in surrounding areas, a favorite radio station to listen to is Q101 which typically plays alternative music; however on Saturday nights, listeners can tune in to this radio station to listen to a radio program called “Sonic Boom” that features tracks created by DJ Psycho-Bitch.

DJ Psycho-Bitch’s success has not come easily or without effort. She has pounded the pavement since day one-promoting events, researching musical styles as well as a wide variety of techniques, and keeping her sense tuned to the street. The end results speak for themselves as she has spun at virtually every venue that is located in the Midwest and has landed hundreds of guest-spots nationally as well as internationally.

Overall, this female phenomenon has won a number of awards, polls and contests, including “Best DJ,” by Chicago Magazine, The Chicago Tribune and City Search, just to quickly name a few sources. If you are lucky, you may be able to catch DJ Psycho Bitch perform with her stage partner, DJ Teri Bristol on six turntables. It is absolutely amazing! I highly suggest not missing this Chicago legend!

Love it! Chicago doesn't have too many emerging artists, but those who come from Chicago always impress me!

Information about the area I am from... I have a tear of pride in my eyes. Also, I have a very close friend who is learning to mix right now. I took her to a lesson last week, and she is a natural! If there's another one for you to add to the list I'll make sure to stay in touch :)
