This Friday another heavy hitter will soon be joining Marco Flores and I at smartbar Chicago. Marco is a local based dj/producer and 1/2 the production duo on 4trk. High octane is one synonym you'll get to experience as he kicks off the night Friday. No slow rolling this one. Gonna be hot out the gates.
If you haven't heard of Quelza then I suggest you visit the @ostgut_ton site and see his releases l, or find one of his mixes on YouTube ie the @section_hq mix. You do not want to miss this one. The spring is heating up early so don't slip.

It feels strange promoting a party when the country is on fire, but community is what keeps us grounded.
It’s tough to leave home when it’s frigid and spirits are low, but it helps to lose the weight of the world on the dance floor for a bit. Come hug friends and get lost in the music.
Ignez is doing a 3-hour extended set(❗️), DJ Hyperactive is setting the tone, and Brenda is closing it down.
Come early, stay late, and look out for each other. 🖤
