L.O.A.D. (Lights Off And Dance) is a queer underground dance party hosted by the Organized Grime Crew of Chicago. I had the pleasure of playing my third LOAD event on July 6, 2024. This is the unaltered, live recording of my set that night. Thank you for listening!

SirQueen At L.O.A.D. (07062024)

DJ Amanda has been a force in the Kansas City house scene since 2001. Known for her heavy, hard-hitting basslines and deep musical intuition, she’s opened for legends like Derrick Carter, Stacy Kidd, Mark Farina, Justin Long, Brett Johnson, Mazi, Karl Almaria, and Pat Nice. Whether she’s crafting a soulful, warming opening set or jacking the house peak-hour style, DJ Amanda knows how to move a crowd.

She fell in love with dance first—growing up choreographing routines to Janet and Paula with friends and learning any move she could get her hands on. In 2001, she stepped into the KC rave scene as a dancer and instantly knew she needed to be behind the decks. Just four weeks after experiencing her first house music community—while sober—she had turntables.

A classically trained violinist, Amanda blends raw rhythm with refined musicality. And when she’s not spinning, you’ll still find her on the dance floor, front and center, giving everything back to the music.

Just your neighborhood disco diva, working to bring beautiful people together through music. 👑❤️🌈🎶
