Disco Decadance is a night dedicated to all of the shades of disco which includes anything disco adjacent and will be a fun night to celebrate freedom of expression and individuality.
Very excited to have Zernell join as the special guest dj for the launch of this new night at Apotheke.
Zernell Gillie’s style is the heart of disco to the soul of Chicago house music with a grimy twist. By taking rare disco classics and stripping them down and rebuilding them to a beating perfection it’s no wonder why his imprint Grimy sells out worldwide.
Zernell was born in Chicago and started DJing at the age of 14. This was during the early years of house music and like a lot of Chicago teens he religiously listened to the Hot Mix 5 on WBMX. Zernell musically grew up in the Music Box and other Chicago clubs listening to the sounds of Ron Hardy and other early pioneers of house music and was schooled by the masters in the art of song selection and timing that drives dancers into a frenzy.
Zernell’s Grimy style of music features some of the hottest and rarest house & disco songs and re-edits mixed just the right way to keep you dancing and wanting more, which has made Zernell one of the hottest dj’s in the underground scene today.
Also growing up in Chicago, Dirtie Blonde (aka Dirtie B) was captivated by the city’s house and disco scene, which sparked her deep connection to the dancefloor and ultimately led her to start her DJ career. Now based in LA, she brings the perfect blend of her Chicago roots with the laid-back vibes of the West Coast. Her sets are a vibrant mix of eclectic shades of disco, seamlessly incorporating global and modern influences and weaves together the sounds of the past, present, and future.
