Monday Mornin’ Mixtape :: Trick Disco – Trick Mix I
Remember when I mentioned that some of the Chicago Disco Massive were launching a new disco-centric party in the new year? I rarely post on specific events, but today they unveiled their first guest as the one and only Mike Simonetti (of Italians Do It Better) and that’s one hell of a kickoff that’s left […]
PRESENTING :: Jams Dean’s Criterion Collection
Jams Dean is currently on tour with local indie rock act the Netherfriends and Friday his promised mixtape, The Criterion Collection, arrived in my inbox. There was no title to the email nor any message, just a download link. That’s just the kind of guy Jams Dean is, a bit mysterious, and often vague, but […]
Monday Mornin’ Mixtape :: AutoRock – FONK
I said I was going to have an original mixtape for you all this week, but real life beckoned and I ran short on time. Blah, blah, blah. Next week, I promise. Luckily our pal AutoRock saved the day, gracing my inbox with a great mix titled FONK. AutoRock put together FONK in honor of […]
Monday Mornin’ Mixtape :: The Monster Is Driving
Yes, you’re correct, it’s not morning, but I’ve had a crazy busy day, so deal with it. I’ve decided it’s silly of us to keep featuring these weekly mixtapes and never share any of our own. Next week you’ll be in for a treat as I take the helm and kick off what will be […]
Monday Mornin’ Mixtape :: Endless Summers, Winter Thrills
Endless Summers, Winter Thrills is a hilariously ironic name for a Chicago-helmed mixtape. The summers here are short and the winters are far from thrilling. Regardless, it’s an apt title that embodies the spirit of the mixtape and it’s creators, Rehab, Chicago’s Monday night nightlife mainstay. As the tracklist for Rehab’s first-ever mixtape suggests, it’s […]
Monday Mornin’ Mixtape :: Heir To The Throne Vol. I
I usually try to keep the mixtapes geared more towards DIY, celeb-free affairs, but seeing as how much bryanb has pumped up Jack Splash’s now out mixtape, Heir To The Throne Vol. I, it’s only fitting that we share it as this week’s Monday Mornin’ Mixtape. Plus, it’s just straight up excellent. Despite calling in […]
Monday Mornin’ Mixtape :: The Mixtape Volume Four
Fans of The Hood Internet can finally stop combing the duo’s site a track at a time because today marks the long-awaited arrival of Volume Four of their mixtape series. Over 30 of their signature mashups are jam-packed into a little over an hour and I’m happy to report it includes my recent favorite, DJ […]
Monday Mornin’ Mixtape :: How the Midwest Was One
This week I’m excited to share the debut mix from the newly formed Chicago DJ, production and design collective, Only Children. Only Children are Bald E. (Chris Baronner), Dinoscopy (Dino Balocchi), Mister Wolf (Jesse Hozeny) and grayarea (Mcrae Reed). I stopped by their Halloween-themed mixtape release party last Thursday night and now I’m really excited […]
