grnappletree: LOLLAPALOOOOOOOZA!

08-07-2007

GRN traveled to Chicago this past weekend to attend a little musical festival you might have heard of: LOLLAPALOOZA.

We caught up with some famous musicians and saw some amazing sets, so we thought we'd share a little of that with you.

timeout: Together in electro dreams

01-18-2007

Electro pulls a coup in the clubs.
By John Dugan

together in electro dreams

There’s no getting around it: Electro is on the upswing in Chicago. One of New York’s major electro cats, Spencer Product, hits the Dark Wave Disco monthly Saturday 20 at Sonotheque with sleazy, indie-leaning dance. So, we thought it would be high time to toast the rise (or return) of electro and check out some of the recently launched electro nights that are bringing up the rear in this nightlife takeover.

Successful monthlies like Dark Wave Disco have given rise to an entire venue, Debonair Social Club, whose residents Jordan Z and Ryan Paradise keep electro heavily rotated in its red-light-district–like lower level. Z also holds a residency upstairs at the house-oriented Ohm and curates Sonotheque’s New Indie Mafia night every first Friday.

Electro nights are popping up early in the week. Smartbar’s Sunday industry night, The End, is extremely friendly to electro and brings in Atlanta DJ Le Castle Vania on January 28. Mondays belong to the six-week-old, low-cover Electro A-Go-Go at the Note, a spin-off of the Note’s jam-packed house event. Make it till Friday and Neo’s RazerX has got you covered.

newcity: Mr. Bright Side: Tommie Sunshine returns home in rock-star style

11-20-2006

by Duke Shin

Before Tommie Sunshine, there was just Naperville native Thomas Lorello, who crossed the divide from typical air-guitaring suburban teen to jet-set-ready DJ by way of immersion into early Midwest rave culture and the legendary Medusa's all-ages club. Eventually making a name for himself in Atlanta for six years, Tommie returned to Chicago in 2000, and as luck would have it, his collaborations with Felix da Housecat would soon thrust him into the limelight. Yet Tommie's own image, direction and taste-making reputation would germinate the popularity of current popular club nights like Dark Wave Disco, which has regularly featured DJs like Tommie Sunshine, Steve Aoki and Junior Sanchez.

"I think a lot of what I did in Chicago was really ahead of its time. When I lived [in Chicago] for those four years from 2000-2003, when Dust Traxx was doing a house night called Sweat up at Red Dog [Ohm Nightclub's previous incarnation], I had the upstairs and was doing a night called Electro Sweat. In the midst of the electro-clash era, me and Jordan Zawideh were playing Italo disco, and early new wave, and a lot of Adult. and Miss Kittin and Felix da Housecat and all that music... and we were doing that at Red Dog! That was pretty ballsy and ahead of its time. And I did another night called Degeneration at Smart Bar and we brought in Greg from Kill Hannah and Princess Superstar and DJ Unknown from Fischerspooner, and we mixed it up. It was Dark Wave Disco before it was Dark Wave Disco...before it became more than trendy."
