June 10, 2009 – 12:46 PM
The weather outside is confusing, but hopefully that stop you from craving techno, house and Okocim beer. This Thursday from 10pm-2am, the LGD crew of James Kartsaklis, Thunderous Olympian and LWE editor-in-chief Steve Mizek will provide just that at Cafe Lura for the princely sum of FREEhundred dollars.

Thursday: Let’s Go Deep @ Cafe Lura

Chicago welcomes Jesse Rose
September 14, 2007 – 3:30 PM
I swear, we will not have pillows to greet you, Jesse. Excuse the outsider’s perspective from which this preview reports. It was written for a local paper, but they arbitrarily decided to recruit someone else for the task at the last moment. Rising talent Jesse Rose is not exactly easy to categorize, a fact which [...]
New Ron Hardy tracks finally released
September 6, 2007 – 5:10 PM
Ron Hardy didn’t have the high profile of Larry Levan or Frankie Knuckles, but his contribution to dance music is immeasurable. Hardy first tried to produce live continuous mixes as early at 1974 on a reel-to-reel player (imagine what he would have thought of Ableton), influenced many of the most important players of Chicago house [...]
