Based in Phoenix, Arizona, CHKLZ (pronounced “Chuckles”) is an avant-garde EDM
husband-and-wife duo redefining what dance music can be. Featuring DJ iLL Choppo (formerly
Dread Ned of the world-famous Okilly Dokilly) on drums and percussion, CHKLZ blends
explosive live rhythms with glitchy synths and raw electronic energy—a sound and style they’ve
dubbed DRUM KAOS.

For fans of LCD Soundsystem, Hot Chip, and Chk Chk Chk, CHKLZ hits that sweet spot
between indie dance band and full-throttle rave. Their sets are high-octane sensory journeys,
merging live percussion with pulsing beats, distorted textures, and immersive visuals that
transform any venue into a sweaty, joyful spectacle.\

CHKLZ isn’t just a band—they’re an experience. One foot in DIY punk ethos, the other deep in
underground club culture, they’re here to shake the floor and leave you buzzing long after the
lights go out.
