Eris Drew is an American DJ, producer, and trans activist based in Chicago. Known for her high-energy sets and deep knowledge of electronic music history, she has become one of the most influential voices in contemporary dance music. Drew is recognized for her eclectic mixing style, seamlessly combining house, breakbeat, rave, psychedelic, and classic dance floor sounds with a distinct, joyful energy.

Her career began in the 1990s Midwest rave scene, where she honed her skills as a turntablist and developed an exceptional vinyl collection. Drew is celebrated not just for her technical prowess at the decks but for her ability to create inclusive and transformative dance floor experiences. A passionate advocate for the healing and spiritual power of dance music, Eris often references the “Motherbeat”—her term for the mystical, life-affirming energy she finds in break-driven rhythms.

Beyond her solo work, Eris Drew has released acclaimed collaborative projects with her partner, Octo Octa, touring the world as both a duo and individually. As a producer, Drew’s releases—including the critically lauded EP "Raving Disco Breaks Vol. 1" and her debut album "Quivering in Time" (2021, T4T LUV NRG)—display a love for genre fusion and intricate sampling, coupled with emotionally resonant melodies.

Eris Drew co-runs the label T4T LUV NRG with Octo Octa, fostering and showcasing music from queer and trans artists. Her advocacy for representation and safer spaces in club culture has cemented her as a respected leader and mentor within the global dance music community.
