Petty: Chicago DJ Playing
Global Sounds
*wrestler of chaos, mistress of sonic domination, a myth of her own weaving that calls to future & past, hoisting a power that floods any room with bass & emotion* -Dee Diggs
Itunu Ebijimi deejays under the alias, Petty, and formerly as The Wife of Wrath. Her DJ sets incorporate club music genres from urban centers across the African diaspora. Bouncing from Chicago Footwork and Jersey Club to Brazilian Baile Funk and Afropop, Ebijimi weaves a border-transcending narrative utilizing dynamic global sounds. She has deejayed in venues across Chicago (Smartbar/ Metro, The Promontory, Virgin’s Cerise Rooftop), as well as in San Francisco (The Stud) and and NYC (Moodring, Bossa Nova Civic Club).
“The Wife of Wrath, who mixes an array of dance music styles- she puts care and love into each selection and mix - but as her name suggests- She’s is the wife ... of WRATH. I've known The Wife of Wrath since before she deejayed so seeing her start from the ground up to where she is now has been amazing but unsurprising. Her tenacity in the way she approaches her mixing, selection, and general artistic career and life is really what has shown everyone that she is in this for the long run.” - Ariel Zetina
