These last two years have been amazing, but I'm moving away and FunkStick's regular monthly parties will be ending in July. We hope you can twirl with us again at Jackhammer before they do.

Pen Pals (ig: ) is a DJ who lives to combine energy-forward records from around the globe to bring the dance floor together. Arriving in Chicago, via his homeland of Scotland, no record store has been safe. Expect deep cuts, eclectic edits and buoyant bangers through the lenses of Italo and EBM.

Nolia (ig: ): Southern-raised and midwest-based, Nolia's record bag runs deep. After years making her mark on the Atlanta underground scene, she moved to Chicago where she frequently serves genre-spanning sets filled with energy and playfulness.

Matt Kasin is Chicago’s Gaudy God, a fashion designer, DJ, filmmaker, and vintage curator who is extravagantly bright and showy, typically so as to be tasteless.
-
Always in a ‘blonde state of mind’ and never doubting the sleaze factor that he incorporates into each of his handpicked ensembles, Gaudy God brings out the secret (and not so secret) gaudy side in all of us. This jacket-orientated, no pants-wearing, leather and denim-loving soul truly knows how to do the one thing we all find ourselves in search of – escaping the mundane cycle of life through a unique and ever-evolving sense of style.
-
If you’ve ever been to any of the amazing programming at the Music Box Lounge such as Music Box Bingo or caught one of his performances or DJ sets before a midnight screening of a campy movie, you’ve had a chance to experience some of Gaudy God’s magic. He also is one of the folks who helped uncover the forgotten 1970s Sapphic history of the Lounge. (Check out Ge**er Hart Library and Archives' Unboxing Q***r History podcast episode featuring the voices of folks who were there.)

This one is a familiar face at FunkStick and has been such a strong supporter of the party since the very beginning. I’m beyond excited that at long last he will be sharing music with us.
