Sound Without Borders
Aced Spade is an open-format DJ redefining the rhythm of Chicago nightlife — blending hip-hop, R&B, house, and global club sounds into unforgettable journeys.
Aced Spade is an open-format DJ and producer from Chicago whose sound is deeply shaped by a background in dance. His sets are rooted in hip-hop, R&B, and Afrobeats, layered with the pulse of house, Baile Funk, UK garage, and other global club sounds. Known for his fluid transitions and undeniable crowd control, Aced blends genres with intention, always aiming to move both body and soul. He’s currently building momentum through his COLOURS party series — a celebration of RnB Fusion — and a run of remix releases that reimagine tracks from popular artists into fresh, dancefloor-driven records.
Coming up in Chicago, Aced never saw music as something to box in. Dance was his first language, and DJing became the way he could speak fluently across genres. While others stayed in their lane, he was studying the intersections — mixing rhythms, cultures, and energies in ways that reflect his global ear. Whether it’s dropping a soulful groove or flipping a high-energy anthem, Aced has a way of making the familiar feel brand new.
From underground parties to curated nightlife experiences like BOM TEMPO, ESCAPADE and Mahogany Dance Floor, Aced Spade has built a reputation for turning every set into a journey. With new music, remixes, and curated events on deck, he’s creating a world where rhythm leads and the rules don’t apply.
