Miss Twink USA

Chicago DJ and producer anchoring the queer underground with high energy techno and club.

Based in Chicago, Del Hale operates as Miss Twink USA, anchoring the city's queer underground with a fluid blend of fast techno, driving ghetto house, and jersey club. As a co-founder of the celebrated Club GLAM and a core resident of Ariel Zetina's Rumors party series, Hale has played a pivotal role in shaping modern inclusive nightlife spaces. Their relentless mixing style has brought them to international stages, including sets at Whole Festival, Toronto's Sojourn, and Boiler Room, alongside hometown appearances at Smartbar and Podlasie Club. In the studio, Miss Twink USA translates this kinetic aesthetic into original productions, highlighted by the 2024 double single "3 Hour Makeout / Nonstop Calling" on Gesamt and the 2026 "Star" EP via New York label YEARNING. Their sets are characterized by a fierce, unapologetic energy that weaves raw percussion with nostalgic pop edits. By bridging the raw intensity of Midwest rave culture with ballroom aesthetics, Miss Twink USA remains a vital architect of contemporary underground dance music.
