Sequence Club Nights YXE returns for a third season with our first international headliner!
Brenda (Format Recordings/smartbar, Chicago, USA):
Scientist by day, DJ by night. Brenda’s life is a dynamic blend of science and music. A classically trained pianist and saxophonist, music has been a lifelong defining force. Active in Chicago’s underground scene since the late 90s, Brenda is now a smartbar resident (alongside The Blessed Madonna, Derrick Carter, DJ Heather, DVS1 and Eris Drew!), A&R for Format Recordings, and co-curator of Format events and the Format.FM podcast series. She creates a symbiotic relationship with the dance floor, feeding off its energy and giving it back tenfold, drawing inspiration from soulful jazz, dark, gritty drum & bass, and beyond. While her sets maintain consistent themes of darker, harder, hypnotic techno, she also explores moments of ethereal sound, harmonious melodies and jackin’ stompers. An advocate for women in both music and science, Brenda, who holds a PhD in molecular and cellular biochemistry, champions diversity in all pursuits. She finds mentoring deeply rewarding and is committed to giving back to the underground culture—building community, fostering connections, and empowering others.

We are trying something new for tickets: Advanced tickets will be $20 or more - You can pay $20 if purchased directly through us (send Jeff or the Sequence Page a message!) or $20 + service fees through Showpass, but there is an option to pay more if you choose. We are trying this out so that we can still offer lower ticket prices for those who are on a budget, but if anyone wishes to pay more to help keep the night going, you can! Think of it as a tipping option - instead of offering to buy me a drink at the event, feel free to add $5-$10 to your ticket instead, but it is by no means mandatory but will allow the night to grow and expand the range of artists available to us. If you are buying direct from me using e-transfer or cash, you can choose any amount above $20 for the advanced ticket. Showpass will have options for $20, $25 and $30.
If there are tickets remaining at the door the night of the event, they will be $30.
