A dance music session featuring Chef Chel and Chain Reaction at Atomic by Jamo, blending house, funk and feel-good grooves.
Chain Reaction brings Chef Chel to Atomic by Jamo on Friday, November 20, for a night of dance music in St. Louis. It's a live session, so you're getting a DJ set rather than a seated concert, and it runs late into the night.
Chef Chel is a St. Louis dancefloor chef who blends house, funk, and feel-good grooves. She describes her approach as drawing on her warm heart and her own 'mom-energy,' and she's got a keen ear for rhythm to keep the crowd cookin. That description tells you a lot about where her sets land: house and funk are the foundation, and the 'feel-good' part is the point. It's music meant for dancing, not for standing around the edges of the room.
She's as comfortable in sweaty underground sets as she is at sunny open-air parties, so the vibe doesn't change much depending on the room. Whether it's a dark club or a bright outdoor space, the house and funk stay the same. If you're into dance music that leans toward the warmer, more rhythmic side of things, this is exactly the kind of set she's known for.

The night runs from 10 PM to 2 AM, so it's a late one. It's pay-what-you-can, with $10 suggested, which means you can chip in what you're comfortable with. Between the late start and the open pricing, it's a low-pressure way to spend a Friday night dancing.
