Lester Rey is an ethereal Latin Soul singer who brings “chanteo,” a popular reggaeton flow with fast melody and rhythm, to his productions. The music strips down familial Caribbean rhythms and combines them with the modern sounds he observed in his upbringing in Chicago. Listed on NPR World Cafe on "Latin Roots: The Best Alternative songs of 2019 and on Chicago's very own Vocalo radio "Live from Studio 10: Our 20 favorite performances of the decade," Lester Rey has spent the last few years taking his sound to a national and international audience called Juketeo, developed in collaboration with producer MoonDoctoR. Notable features include Ric Wilson, Nino Augustine, DJ Cachorra, Niña Dioz, Pierre Cruz and more.

Gio Sandz - Fresh off a show opening for Bad Bunny's Chicago leg of his "World's Hottest Tour," DJ and Producer Gio Sandz has been making a name for himself for over 15 years in the scene, releasing hard hitting singles and remixes, traveling the country spinning records in some of the biggest venues and festivals, coordinating events and building his brand known as Tengo Funk. One half of the DJ dual Fancy Fux. His musical taste is rooted in house, hip hop, and overall tropical melodies. His ability to spin across genres has made him a stronghold in Chicago music and nightlife for over a decade, and has afforded him multiple opportunities to perform across the globe.

MoonDoctoR - Azota evolves organically with MoonDoctoR on production. The Texas based Chicago transplant, and owner of Freshmoon Records intertwines melodies and harmonies uncannily and alludes to a pleasant dissonance, and takes special care to make the drums knock. Their hybrid of movements from footwork to reggaeton, from ballad to hip hop made CCFX a satisfying eavesdrop into the world of both Lester Rey and MoonDoctoR in 2021. Chicago Born and Bred MoonDoctoR Has Been in Music Production now Since 2000. It all started with his Dad/DJ, Tony Mundaca Sr. (Gramaphone Records) who taught Junior Early on the Ropes of Production at age 12 giving him a 24-track digital recording studio and sharing old stories of the Disco Days and Working with People like Frankie Knuckles at places like the Warehouse and being part of the start of House Music in Chicago. Building his own legacy in footwork and working closely with Peligrosa (Austin) with Tropical Bass fusions, Moon Doctor has been constantly challenging himself as he works with new artists around the globe. As a DJ his selections and mixes represent his father's legacy, his own, and the ever expanding growing knowledge of global sounds and aesthetics.

DJ Mo Mami is a Chicago native whose roots speak through her music. Throughout her three years as a DJ, she has played at various events nationally and most recently graced the stage at Lollapalooza music festival. Mo Mami aims to create spaces that invoke empowerment, nostalgia and freedom through her sound selections.

Código Verde is a Mexican-American grupo sirreño from the South Side of Chicago formed by singer-songwriter & lead guitarist, Danny Alfaro-Barraza. The 21 year old first launched the trio ensemble in the summer of 2019, gaining momentum playing popular regional Mexican covers at local privadas and venues across the city. The group quickly spread throughout the Midwest, receiving global attention with a string of original releases including their most well known hit, "Windy City”. Their natural ability to fuse classic guitar techniques with unorthodox slap playing style and modern relatable lyrics has solidified their notoriety among old and young listeners alike.

Sistematic Podcast - Sistematic is the show about politics, pop culture, & sisterhood. Co-hosted by twin sisters Alexis & Samantha, the show’s mission is to talk about issues you should know about, through the perspective of two young WOC. Our ultimate goal is to produce & promote stories that create a stronger sisterhood among women & queer folk of color, while empowering listeners of all backgrounds with the knowledge needed to effectively engage with systemic issues of inequality that threaten the wellbeing of our communities and city.
