JACQ JILL
DJ, curator, and all-around trouble maker, Jacq Jill is an undeniable force in the American underground. Known for being as versatile as they are technically gifted, featuring all across the spectrum of the Underground in the Mid-Atlantic US and beyond.
Splitting their time between DC and Baltimore, Jacq has been spinning energetic “techno-adjacent” sets for nearly a decade. Jacq has multiple releases on a who’s who of mix series and is featured on the 2019 Boiler Room North American Tour. Selection is so important, as is energy. As much as they work hard to be a diverse and conscious selector, they work twice as hard to be an energy provider and community organizer. Their goal is always to elevate a room whether that be through having a wide soundscape or creating a space that welcomes the outsiders. A friendly face bringing you disrupting rhythms, old school rave and trance infused sounds, anything techno or techno adjacent, with a healthy respect for queer underground history.
ďż˝
More recently, Jacq has been featured in the Washington Post discussing the current state of American dance floors and navigating the pandemic, as well as a feature in Extend Magazine, where they recall the transition from conservative Texas to the East coast, bringing their favorite southern sound influences along with them.
ďż˝
Expanding their reach, Jacq has made multiple noted appearances at Elsewhere NYC, Bossa Nova Civic Club, Hot Mass Pittsburgh, Nowadays, and The Lot Radio. This summer they made their SF debut alongside globetrotters, Beautiful Swimmers, played alongside queer royalty at Wrecked & Carry Nation’s NYC Pride extravaganza, and launched a new daytime rave series BODYSERVICE in the heart of Baltimore underground.
Jacq Jill is best known for their captivating energy on the decks, it’s impossible not to be pulled in.
