Mari Navarro (DJ Q) is a non-binary artist and creator of Gothess. They invest time in creating spaces focusing on inclusion for their BIPOC Queer siblings. They grace the DJ Altar under the alias DJ Q and have been a DJ for over a decade now.

They are originally from Chicago where they first found their love of the goth subculture. They saw the freedom the subculture brought by challenging all of the binaries. That influence made a huge impact and shaped the perspective and playlist of DJ Q as an artist.

Many years later they eventually started their DJ career in Portland Oregon. They were very active in the goth scene in Portland playing in places like The Star Theater for HIVE (one of the longest-standing goth nights in PDX). They also were a resident DJ at The Coffin Club (Portland Oregon's Horror theme bar). They are now very grateful for the opportunities in MPLS that have created a beautiful home base that allows them to unleash all the darkwaves in a wonderfully receptive dance community.
