For those in or near the windy city: Derrick May will be spinning tonight at ZENTRA, a club at 923 W. Weed St. [312-787-0400]. Also spinning is Justin Long and Sativa. This event is co-hosted by Feticio (local fetish art gallery) so that should make for some, uh, pleasantly distracting sights around the club... 10pm - 4am. Sorry I don't know what the cover charge is.
In an unrelated bit of self-promotion in the chicago zone: I'll be DJing at a party for WNUR (Northwestern Univ. student radio station) tonight that is broadcast live on 89.3fm, and simultaneously streamed on http://www.wnur.org. THe theme is a dance retrospective, starting at 9am - 2am and intends to be a timeline format. I'll be playing the first hour focusing on Italo Disco and early 80's electro. Here are more details. Guaranteed to be a HEAVY portion of Detroit techno history also represented, as Dr. Dave Siska will also be on the decks for a pivotal couple hours. We'll prob. both head to see the Mayday set after this...
