Artist Lineup

The Azer Code

DJ

Caroline Azer (she/her) is a DJ, model, recording artist, and Naturopathic Doctor. After years of higher education and medical school, it became clear that the root of every physical symptom and chronic illness is unprocessed emotions and/or trauma.

To help bring energy medicine to the community, each set is curated with the intention to raise the collective consciousness, elevate the frequency, and provide people with a safe space to dance and release stored stress and tension to heal from the inside out through movement and community.

Music is medicine.
