Kicking off season 7, I sit down with Chicago’s own Hiroko Yamamura, an artist deeply rooted in the city’s rich club culture, to explore the place that shaped her. Hiroko takes us back to the record stores and warehouses that built her musical foundation and shares stories of legendary underground parties that defined an era.
From early mentorship and pivotal career decisions to the evolution of Chicago’s raw, rebellious energy, Hiroko reflects on how the scene has changed, what still excites her today, and why life behind the decks can feel so strange and surreal. It’s an episode packed with history, honesty, and humor.
