DJs will continue the evening with sets of their original music. The Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs presented Woody McBride (DJ ESP) as part of last year's inaugural DJ Series at Chicago SummerDance and welcomes him back for the Glasscuts record release party. He is one of the country's premier electronic DJs, producers and promoters, as well as an advocate for chemical free and spiritually oriented artistry. Chicago-based musician Kate Simko was trained in classical and jazz piano as well as in electronic music production. Combining her musical training with her love for underground music, Simko is continually exploring a dialogue between the classical tradition and underground music. Performing beside artists such as Michael Mayer, M83, Ulrich Schnauss, and Four Tet, she has had the opportunity to share her music both in Chicago and abroad. Marcos Romero (Madcos d Psycho) was classically trained in piano and guitar in his homeland of Uruguay and moved into singing and producing for South American hip hop groups. He is now based in the U.S. and creates experimental music with techno, minimal and downtempo influences. The evening is presented as part of the Department of Cultural Affairs' ohm performance series that incorporates new media in the arenas of theater, music and visual art. Admission is free.
