Artist Biography

Azzecca’s music isn’t just heard—it’s felt. Emerging from the depths of Chicago’s underground dance scene, she’s carved out a unique space with her dark, hypnotic take on house and techno. But it wasn’t always this way. Born into a musical family, Azzecca was exposed to a world of sound from an early age, picking up instruments like the flute, bass piano, and piano. This eclectic background became the foundation for her later dive into electronic music, where she blended the influence of iconic artists like Massive Attack, Portishead, and Björk to craft something entirely her own.

From the moment Azzecca stepped behind the decks, it was clear that she was meant to command the room. As both a DJ and producer, her sets aren’t just a collection of tracks—they are a journey, an exploration of the darker, more introspective side of house and techno. The music she creates pulsates with an energy that’s at once raw and refined, a true reflection of the space she’s cultivated for herself in the world of electronic music.

But Azzecca isn’t just focused on her own rise—she’s committed to lifting others along the way. Through her event series, Dirty Disco, she’s fostered an inclusive environment for emerging underground artists, with a particular focus on showcasing female talent. In a scene often dominated by the same familiar faces, Azzecca’s efforts to create space for new voices are a testament to her passion for both the music and the community it thrives in.

As she continues to push boundaries in the studio and on the decks, Azzecca is proving that she’s more than just a DJ—she’s an artist, a mentor, and a true force in the dance music world. Whether she’s curating a live experience or crafting her next track, Azzecca is just getting started, and the best is yet to come.
