Photo: International DJ Joe Pacheco – known for his tribal and progressive house sound, as well as tech, disco house, deep house, trance and techno – returns to Chicago this Saturday, March 11 to headline Hydrate Nightclub. Set begins at 11pm.
Pacheco, a New York native who now lives in Fort Lauderdale, told GoPride.com that every time he travels for work, he carries a simple motto: “Come for the party, stay for the culture.”
On his wardrobe:
“People really enjoy the fact that suits are part of my attire as a DJ. What most people don't know is … before I became a DJ, I graduated from the Fashion Institute of Technology for accessories design, so a fashion influence has always been part of my identity. Most of the bowties I wear for work are pieces I've designed; it was a beautiful full-circle moment where I was able to incorporate all aspects of my life and move forward in my full truth.”
