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 […]

If you haven’t heard, there’s a disco house movement bubbling under the pavement of Chicago’s streets. I don’t know what spurred it, and frankly I don’t care. A magical mix of nu disco, house, funk and beyond has begun to grace the speakers of select venues, brought to you by an ambitious cast of characters. […]

Yeasayer are back with a new track titled, Ambling Alp. It’s been gaining a lot of attention lately, and for good reason—this song is amazing. Now they’ve hit us with a video, directed by Radical Friend, and it’s nothing short of brilliant. The melting sky face is my favorite part. If you’d like to peep […]

A few months back […]

I have been a fan of Soap & Skin since earlier this year when I heard her latest full length album, Lovetune For Vacuum. If I had to attempt to compare her to her contemporaries, I would have to say her sound lies somewhere between My Brightest Diamond, and DM Stith, with some Beirut thrown […]

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 […]
