THE LINEUP
PERFORMANCES AND SETS BY:
La Goony Chonga (Miami) is 305-born and raised. It is hard to put La Goony Chonga in a box. Since the beginning of her career, she has heavily drawn influence from her love of the rap and Latin culture around her. Always fine tuning her unique style, she created an entirely new genre of her own called “Treggaeton.” A fusion of trap/tread and reggaeton, paving the way for many of the latin female rappers we see emerging today. She continues to straddle the line between those realms, as she also explores other dimen5ions, experimenting with pop, EDM etc. As a rapper, singer, and songwriter in both English & Spanish, she brings a fresh new spin to what’s missing today—something only La Goony gets right.

Star Amerasu (Los Angeles) creates alternative pop music under the moniker Ah-Mer-Ah-Su. Her debut full length album "Star" released in 2018 was voted Top 20 LGBT albums of the year by Billboard (her earlier work being influenced primarily by folk and choral music). Her voice has been lent to songs from classic pop hits to club bangers. She released her 3rd EP “Hopefully limitless” on Dero Arcade in 2021.

Chanté (Chicago) is a DJ, producer and the founder of Cliché Collectiv. She throws parties like Pussy Control, GRLs and The Dollhouse. She likes music, acting, crying and supporting women.
@chantator
Bragglights (Austin) is an Experimental Techno/Dance Music project produced & performed by the artist, Jenna Herrington. Cast as a black sheep during her childhood in South-East Texas, her creative direction derives from the “Lights of Saratoga” aka “Bragg Lights” which are most famously known as mysterious lights that wander the forests & railroads of her homeland.

Sailor Goon (NYC) is the baby who Kimora Lee Simmons and Gucci Mane went half on, on the disco floor.
@sailorgoon.wav
Pos Wow (Austin) is a Mexican-Austinite producer, DJ and artist. Pos Wow’s rowdy, deeply rooted live sets reflect her experience of attending too many Quinceañera & bodas and her recent influences of disco, house, pop and anything in between.
