For this 3rd episode of Body Dance Synth Music, La Magouille invite a Zurich-based DJ they admire: Chora.
Her set will drift between genres, emotions, and
energies—soft and intense, introspective and euphoric. Her name, Chora, comes from a concept of the “in-between”: undefined, fluid, and always in motion. It’s a fitting metaphor for her musical approach, which embraces
transformation and open exploration.
She will talk about her passion for music and her collaborative projects with close friends (Synkope and Clits with Sticks) and will share with us her vision: whether behind the decks, co-creating in collectives, or hosting gatherings, she sees music as more than sound—it’s a tool for belonging, resistance, and
becoming.
Chora is a Zurich-based DJ whose sets drift between genres, emotions, and
energies—soft and intense, introspective and euphoric. Her name, Chora,
comes from a concept of the “in-between”: undefined, fluid, and always in
motion. It’s a fitting metaphor for her musical approach, which embraces
transformation and open exploration.
Over the years, Charlie has experimented with a wide range of sounds—some
she’s more, some she’s less proud of—but all of them have shaped her unique musical language. These days, she feels most at home in synth-heavy, trance-
infused realms: progressive house, Italo trance, and everything shimmering in
between.
She’s also part of two collaborative projects with close
friends: Synkope and Clits with Sticks. Both grew out of deep friendships and
shared passions, and have taken her to a range of beloved venues across
Switzerland and beyond.
Chora is deeply engaged in collaborative projects and community-rooted
spaces. Her work often unfolds in the realm of social art, music, and events—
spaces where connection, care, and collective expression come first. She’s
drawn to third spaces: places that blur the line between public and personal,
where culture is lived, not just consumed.
Whether behind the decks, co-creating in collectives, or hosting gatherings, she
sees music as more than sound—it’s a tool for belonging, resistance, and
becoming.
