Dazm
House music DJ / Chicago, IL
Background and styles
Dazm is a house music DJ in Chicago, Illinois. He supported SIDEPIECE at The Fillmore and Partiboi69 for Dance Agenda. He also played the after parties for Steve Aoki and Subtronics.
He moves between house styles inside one set. A set can travel from deep house to a Latin groove to tech house, and that variety holds a crowd's interest. He watches the floor and selects each record to match what he sees. He plans a direction before the set, but he picks the next track in the moment.

- Latin house
- Deep house
Dazm started to DJ in high school and turned professional at his college nightclub, which was in a basement. He then played dates at Soho Beach House in Miami. That early work was all open format, so he learned to read a crowd fast and change direction mid set. In Minneapolis he made house music his main focus.
The mixes show how he plays. Tracks change about every two and a half minutes, so the energy keeps moving. He uses extended club versions, never radio edits. Most records carry a vocal hook, from Aluna and Kah-lo to Mr. V and Roland Clark. Summer Ender starts melodic and gets harder across its 22 tracks. Chi Views 4 holds 128 to 132 BPM for all 18.
His bookings cover the same range. He supported SIDEPIECE at The Fillmore, a large venue with a big stage. He also played the Steve Aoki and Subtronics after parties at North Loop Studio, which is small and late. SIMshows booked him for three of those nights. He can open an event, play the main set, or play the last set.
Dazm is based in Chicago, where house music started. Gene Farris, Roland Clark and Mr. V all appear in these two tracklists, so that lineage runs through his selections.
