Bad Idea: Chong the Nomad (DJ Set), Calico, Boxy Fit, Mimi Zima
Chong the Nomad (aka Alda Agustiano) is a Seattle-based electronic music producer and DJ who creates atmospheric sounds that have gained attention from audiences and critics alike. Over the last few years, she’s opened for Death Cab For Cutie, contributed to Marvel’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings soundtrack, co-produced Wafia’s 2020 single “Pick Me,” and released her debut full-length album DO WE MAKE OF THIS. She’ll soundtrack this global club music dance party alongside fellow selectors Calico, Boxy Fit, and Mimi Zima. AUDREY VANN
