Issa Party founder, @pleasetrax presents a decade of tracks built on a Chicago footwork foundation, weaving cold, icy textures with borrowed sounds from Indonesia, China, and the UK. Across these works, the project expands into club styles adjacent to Chicago’s history, while reflecting on personal identity as a reaction to the global rise in populism.
