‘Ancient Astronauts Invade Chicago 2010′ Mix!

'Ancient Astronauts Invade Chicago 2010' Mix

Essentially, this promo mix release is one bigger track made up of four mini mix-installments or ‘Visits’ influenced by the German DJ/production duo, Ancient Astronauts (ESL Music/Switchstance Recordings). The two gents, Kabanjak and Dogu, use different styles and work them into a grand allure that’s become their trademark sound, recognized by music communities internationally. Four of Chicago’s favorite DJs each composed a 20-minute mix that takes Ancient Astronauts’ notable approach and slight-twists it into a stirring sonic presentation. Each installment contains bass and beats that blubber and punctuate steady syncopation and cadence, while incorporating sounds that normally never meet. Check out the mix-tetralogy here! DJ John Simmons, DJ Trew, DJ Newlife, and DJ Intel open for Ancient Astronauts. Ground Lift Media, Redlight Productions, and The Dirty Social present a Pre-Lollapalooza event on August 5, 2010 at the Darkroom (2210 W Chicago Ave, Chicago IL) More information on their live performance can be found at http://www.groundliftmedia.com or http://www.darkroombar.com

ODB Tribute: DJ Big Once @ Uberjam 11/21/09

Published: 11/23/2009Posted in: MEDIA, audioTags: 90s Party, Big Once, celebration, dj trew, matt.boy.whi, odb, ol dirty bastard, rip odb, tribute, uberjam, wu-tang clan

Big Once (aka DJ Once A Month, Lab-O Records) was our special guest this month at Uberjam for our first annual RIP ODB celebration. We had hoped to record his set live that evening but dim lighting, beer, and technical difficulties prevailed. But Once is a professional and this afternoon during a live, 20 minute one take session he recorded his entire set for us! Not tracked out or manipulated in any way, this is essentially an exact duplicate of what went down @ Uberjam. Enjoy!
