Who's in the suit
The name is Spade.
Dance-pop artist, sharp dresser, reluctant superstar. Here's the short version, plus the story behind the underscore.
Yes, that's a cheetah. Yes, those are real chains.
The short version
Party music,
tailored.
Spade_ makes dance-pop: big hooks, bigger drops, and a sense of humor about the whole thing. He shows up in a three-piece suit and aviators because a party is an occasion and occasions deserve effort.
He never set out to be a superstar. The songs had other plans. His debut album, Silicon Party, is out now on every platform.
How the name happened
A name in four acts
- Act I · SpadeIt started as a nickname. It stuck, the way the good ones do.
- Act II · The underscoreTime to release music. iTunes looked at the existing pile of Spades and said no more. So: Spade_. Same guy, one extra keystroke.
- Act III · “DJ Spade”The album cover went out reading “DJ Spade.” He is not a DJ, and that is not his name. It's on the cover forever now, and honestly it's a great cover.
- Act IV · spade.musicEvery good domain was taken. Then this one wasn't. Welcome.
“A party is an occasion. Dress like it.”
