who is nanoos?

DJ Nanoos is a Palestinian-Armenian DJ and cultural curator based in Chicago, known for her genre-defying sound that blends global club music, Arabi rhythms, and experimental electronic music. With roots in the SWANA (South West Asia and North Africa) diaspora, she uses her platform to explore the intersections of music, identity, and cultural resistance. Nanoos has carved out a space in the underground music scene, where she not only delivers high-energy, immersive sets but also engages in critical conversations about representation in nightlife. Her sound pays homage to the rich traditions of the Levant and North Africa, blending them with Ghetto Tech, Juke, Hip-Hop, Jersey Club, UK Garage, Dancehall, and House. With every set and production, Nanoos builds bridges between global genres while honoring her roots and community.
