HOUSE OF EFUNK
January 17, 2026 | Smartbar
An all-building Saturday at Metro & Smartbar with this lineup? Soul Clap’s traveling party hits our favorite spot with some of our favorite djs, making it an absolutely non-negotiable evening for Cue Club.
LOUD LUsH
January 21, 2026 | The California Clipper
While it can be tough to get Cue Club out on a Wednesday, you can guarantee that we’ll be on the dancefloor of Aman Ster’s party. With a local lineup, French touch focus and cozy curation in the beautiful space that is the California Clipper, this mid-week moment is not one to miss.
PALMS TRAX
January 23, 2026 | Smoke & Mirrors
Berlin-based DJ blending vintage house, disco, and UK underground, Palms Trax is blessing Chicago with a full evening of his magic in the dark corners of Smoke & Mirrors. In the midst of a grey and freezing Chicago winter, Cue Club is thrilled to get a taste of Berlin to match the weather.
SOUNDS OF SUMUD
February 1, 2026 | Co-Prosperity
VIDEOS WE LOVE
The best hour of Cue Club’s winter, DESIREE’S elevator set is a wonderful journey across percussions, rhythms and class. Enchanting in-person and on Youtube, this one is not to miss.
From record stores to dry cleaners, goyo club documents the sounds, people and family-owned businesses shaping the LA area. We think Bianca Oblivion and Star Line’s B2B should’ve been filmed in a kitchen – these ladies absolutely cooked.
Chicago-based Palestinian legend Nanoos absolutely delivers her finest under the LA sun. A set that makes it impossible to keep from moving, this one has gotten us through our brutal midwest winter.
We still haven’t recovered from Chloe’s Smartbar debut, nor her Arc B2B with fellow girl crush Desiree. Her Rinse FM feature comes close to both of those sets (although it’s safe to say we’d enjoy a 45 hour set from Ms. Calliet).
