FREE SH!T :: Switch at Smart Bar
Switch needs no introduction, but nonetheless, I’ll give you the basis. UK-based producer Switch is a member of the Mad Decent family, one half of Major Lazer alongside Diplo, co-label owner of Counterfeet with Sinden and sole owner of his own imprint, Dubsided. His style starts at fidget house but spans the spectrum, landing in [...]
Remix This :: Chicago Girls
Who doesn’t love a musical ode to their city? Double it up as an ode to fine ladies and you’ve got the next sure-to-be-hyped club jam. If you live here, then you’ve surely observed the madness surrounding BBU’s Chi Don’t Dance firsthand. We love our Windy City, and we can’t get enough of Chicago-centric tracks. [...]

FREE SH!T :: Crookers, Major Lazer (& more) at Congress Theater

Whether you’re broke [...]
FREE SH!T :: Jamie Lidell at Congress Theater
Jamie Lidell is one of those musicians I’ve managed to miss for one reason or another, every single time he’s come to town. This weekend I intend to change this by catching his show at the Congress Theater alongside Tortured Soul. I admittedly didn’t enjoy 2008’s Jim nearly as much as 2005’s Multiply, but it [...]
FREE SH!T :: Branded at Congress Theatre
What do The Rapture, Heartsrevolution, The Rub, DJ Funk and Guns N Bombs all have in common? They are all playing at BRANDED, this Friday at the Congress Theater and we have a 15 tickets to give away to the show.
This is quite the interesting lineup. I never thought I’d see The Rub on the [...]
FREE SH!T :: Ghostly International Showcase with Deastro
Ann Arbor, Michigan’s Ghostly International has long been a favorite independent label of mine. Label head, Sam Valenti, has a knack for culling a roster of some of the most interesting music out there. Unlike many independent labels who adhere strictly to a single genre, Valenti’s signings run the musical gamut from electronic producer and [...]
