Back by popular demand, Diva XR reunites at the beloved Marble Bar. Pride weekend in Detroit is a pivotal moment for both queer dance music crews XOXR (spearheaded by Garrison XR) and Divalocity (queer femme crew led by Amino & Duck Trash).
This year, Diva XR will feature two influential figures from the Chicago scene: Disc Jacqui and LA SPACER, who lead a collective entitled TRQPITECA. Expect queer Latina house music, freak electro, Miami bass, & trance from this power couple.
Also gracing the stage will be Alex Falk from Knoxville Tennessee. He is a prolific producer and an organizer of the DIY party series TEKNOX alongside the likes of Nikki Nair. According to the DJ Mag writeup about the mix he made for them, “Tough grooves tear at the seams of techno, house, breakbeat and ballroom, embodying the raw, unbridled energy of the rave.”
Support on this bill includes Simplicity, of the Headcleaner crew in Columbus, as well as local queer underground fave Simon Black. Catch captivating back-to-back sets by all of your hostesses and a refreshingly femme queer lineup of local baddies to round the night out. See you on the floor alllll night long, divas 💞
Hey party ppl! TRQPITECA is a DJ duo and production company founded in Chicago by La Spacer & Disc Jacqui (fka Cqqchifruit). Since 2015 they’ve been producing events ranging from parties in nightclubs to public festivals highlighting hundreds of artists, musicians, and DJs creating at the intersection of art, dance music, and identity. As DJ-producers they bounce between tropical house and bass, hard techno & bass breaks, trippy acid & trance, high BPM jungle & juke, and you can catch their TRQPITECA.fm show live on Lumpen Radio every 1st & 3rd Monday from 4-6pm ~ Vamos a la discoteca!

Meitheal (pronounced meh-hal) is an ancient Irish term describing a gathering of people who work together, sharing and celebrating unity, interdependence and mutual support, all for the greater good.
— Michele Horrigan and Sean Lynch, Askeaton Contemporary
ICE: Your children will know, your children will not forget
— Anonymous Minneapolitan who staples this message to telephone poles as their contribution to the giant meitheal which has been fighting ICE’s terror campaign.
Come join us for Co-Prosperity’s first(?) meitheal, an after party celebrating the exhausting communal work we’ve done together in this most recent cycle of strong fascism in this death cult of an empire. Let’s pretend* dancing and revelry’s proof of that shared work.
Trqpiteca will play and there will be performance art and you will use your body for something more dignified than holding a wine glass near a price list. We’ll be fêting (and dancing within) Askeaton Contemporary Arts’ exhibition of 4 Irish artists and a Chicagoan, the stellar “Tuneful Places.” We’ll be smoking and talking outside while looking at the hundreds of ICE protest posters that an anonymous artist drove down from Minneapolis for the amazing window show “Love in the Time of Resistance.”
Let’s dance because the imperial state is conducting itself in a manner that requires smashing but also because all this smashing requires intermittent abandon. Let’s dance to prefigure the kind of party we’ll throw when we have abolished ICE and eaten the oligarchy and outlawed oil and nobody knows what a settler colonizer is anymore. Our time will come (it’s Friday night). 💫💃🏽
Happy New Year Party People!! Thanks so much for celebrating 10 years of TRQPITECA with us at @icuqts this past Sunday at @ramovachicago 🎉 We couldn’t be more grateful to all the artists and production staff for making this an unforgettable 11 hour marathon event, @chicagodcase for supporting this event through “Chicago Presents”, to the people who came early and stayed late, and to the many people who have supported us near and far for the past 10 years. Stay tuned for full sets and music to be released soon, our next show on @lumpenradio where we’ll recap the event on 1/5, and much more to come <3
