A NIGHT BORN FROM THE NEED TO DANCE TOGETHER
In a landscape dominated by harder electronic sounds, Parotia aims to make space for a new sound in Utrecht’s nightlife. For this edition, Berlin-based ChewChew will take her place behind the decks.
As a teenager growing up in Hamburg, ChewChew was already drawn to the raw energy of nightlife, which sparked her passion for DJing. Since then, she has brought her sound to many international clubs. Her sets are shaped by intuition, curiosity, and a love for rhythm in all its forms. They move between old-school house, 80s disco, African boogie, funk, acid, techno, and any music that carries a groove. For ChewChew, DJing is not about controlling the room but about creating space for movement and connection.
Parotia, named after the mating dance of the New Guinean bird-of-paradise, wants to bring people back to dancing with each other through softer and warmer sounds. A step away from individualism, and a leap towards one another. A colorful blend where house, disco, Latin, afro, and boogie, among many others, will be heard.
