606 Open Mic Night | Tonight (May 13) | Subterranean (Sub-T) | Chicago
Tonight, once again I have the honor to spin at 606 Open Mic Night at Sub-T. I don't take it lightly, its one of the longest running hip hop open mic nights in Chicago. Many have blessed the stage on the mic and on the tables. I break and have been djing for the same amount of time, but I'm also still a fan of this culture and music. Catch me djing at this historic spot with DJ Boy Wonder and host Shadow Master for new and old hip hop! Also featuring a performance by
606 Hip-Hop Open Mic Night is held every Tuesday from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. at the Subterranean Lounge, 2011 W. North Ave., in Wicker Park.

High Klassified | Radar
Montreal's current beat renaissance is a melting pot of hybrid sounds and aesthetics as diverse as the city itself. Yet for all of the exciting electronic producers this new scene has spawned, no one is as unique a personality as High Klassifed. Armed with a Louis bag full of 808s, a half-full bottle of Hennessy, and melodies as stratospheric as his high-top fade, HK makes his Fool's Gold debut with the striking Palindroma EP. The four hypnotic tracks showcase High Klassified's signature stew of post-trap drum programming and luxurious, dreamlike synth lines, demanding repeat listens of the entire release. Come aboard and float away with Canada's finest...
