Research & Development with… Grey People (Tram Planet, Nerang, CGI) Sard [Live] (Fixed Rhythms, Equalizer, Tunnel Visions) Millia Rage (Sweat Equity, Dasani Boys) Club Politix JS Alvarez with visuals by Nix FREE! / 21 & Over / 10PM Sard Joseph Sardashti is a producer residing in Detroit. His sonic foundation was formed in learning classical violin and listening to Santana as a child. Sardashti became obsessed early on with the raw sounds of funk and hip hop, which is clear in his initial productions. He makes his tracks live, every recording a performance of its own. His performances weave in and out of wormholes, reaching the distant territories of techno, house, and electro. Grey People Having just returned home to Chicago from an extended residency in Nashville, Alex J. Michalski has gained a wealth of experience in producing and DJing. Grey People has become a master at weaving acid in and out of dense, swampy soundscapes. His DJ sets, although truly cerebral, are also ripe for sweaty jackin' into the hours after midnight. Millia Rage Akeem Asani is quickly rising through Chicago's rich yet saturated dance music scene with exciting productions that can be heard via Sweat Equity. Lucky enough for us, Asani also brings that same frantic energy to his DJ sets. Expect a full-on physical and mental work out of highly percussive club tracks and mind bending techno.
