Customer Reviews
Electronic music at its finest
I don’t think a music curation can get much better than this. From club heavy tracks to the most far out experimental. Perfect in every way.
For the heads
This is easily some of the finest curation I’ve heard on a show covering electronic/experimental/underground sounds. From dark, spare D&B to current jazz to techno to breaks and even sometimes some old electro, these shows are giant, satisfying doses of everything that I didn’t even know to look for but should have been. Helmed by a dedicated crew of people who have contributed to the Chicago scene in many ways since the 1990s, creating a body of work that stands as a national treasure.
A Unique and Inspiring Voice in Electronic Music
Always on the pulse, and edge, of electronic music in the world today. With a slight lean towards the UK, but based out of the temple of Chicago, they cover the gamut of new releases on labels big and small, always with a big of real feeling in their selections. Cannot recommend highly enough.
