Alternative School Presents: Chez Damier

Alternative School welcomes Chicago’s own Chez Damier to Detroit at Northern Lights Lounge on Saturday, November 22nd, for a night that connects two cities bound by music. A foundational figure in house, Chez has shaped the sound from its beginnings in Chicago and Detroit to dance floors across the world. His story is one of evolution, dedication, and constant movement, always pushing the music forward while honoring where it came from. Co-founder of the legendary Prescription Records alongside Ron Trent, Chez helped define a language of house music that continues to resonate decades later. Releases like The Choice, Sometimes I Feel Like, and Can You Feel It remain touchstones for those who understand the foundation of this culture. Beyond the records, Chez is known for his unmatched sense of flow and selection. Every set is built from his own edits, reworks, and years of perspective—music that carries history but lives fully in the present moment. This rare balance of precision and feeling has kept him essential from The Music Institute to Panorama Bar, from Detroit to Tokyo. Local support comes from Mike “Agent X” Clark, ATM, Ameera, and Billy Winters, each adding their own distinct presence to the night and rounding out a lineup built with care.
