We celebrate sounds as resistance, joy, and deep cultural memory. Today, we’re thrilled to feature MAMICANA, a Chicago-based DJ and founder of Gyrate, celebrating the Black diaspora and Caribbean roots with unmatched energy and intention.

With Guest: We’re excited to welcome MAMICANA, a Chicago-born DJ, artist, and producer, and the creative force behind Gyrate, a party series centering Black and Brown femme performers and honoring the richness of the Caribbean and the global Black diaspora through sound, visuals, and performance. Her sets are vibrant, borderless, and full of feeling. With a sharp ear and an unstoppable energy, MAMICANA blends classics and contemporary tracks from across Afro-Caribbean and diasporic traditions, turning the dance floor into a space of joy, memory, and release. Whether behind the decks or curating a full sensory experience, she creates worlds where Black femme joy is the center.
