DJ Big Heart — Chicago

DJ Big Heart holds the floor at ecstatic dances around Chicago and the suburbs — long-arc sets built to carry a room from a soft opening through the peak and back down into stillness.

"Ecstatic dance saved my life."
For years his body lived in chronic pain. He had tried everything. Then he found a dance floor — and on it, a way for his nervous system to finally put the weight down. Read more on our sponsor page.
