[WHAT] The MID has been keeping the weekends packed with top shelf electro and needless to say they are not letting up in the coming months. The UK live electro/psychedelic duo Simian Mobile Disco will be taking the stage and sharing their world renown sets with Chicago.
James Ford and Jas Shaw aka SMD used to be a four piece band that went under the name Simian, and with gaps in the band the group split up during a U.S tour. Like a phoenix Simian Mobile Disco was born out of the ash when the two band members, rooted in music theory and physics, realized their passion for electronica and began the unstoppable movement that is SMD. Touring all over the UK they soon established a unique fan base spearhedded by the self proclaimed Simian Mobile Diskettes; a gang of groupies who “would turn up at club nights dressed only in six-inch heels and twelve-inch vinyl.” The duo took shape quickly and after a few underground campaigns such as the “Nigh Owl Sanctuary” parties thrown in exclusive underground venues around London taking a bad turn when 600 ravers showed up at an actual owl sanctuary and caused the unfortunate death of a Long Eared Barn Owl.
Touring, boozing, recording and creating out of body music for all to enjoy, SMD continue their journey to provide the world with quality entertainment and sounds. Latest album Delicacies was named due to every track “take(s) the name of an exotic, and often bizarre, delicacy from around the world”. The album takes you on a eerie roller coaster filled with nasty drops and well crafted synths.

[WHAT] Justin Long, a windy city resident, started DJing at the age of 15 and began exploring his passion for the decks. After hearing house music on WBMX radio Long began to delve deep into the genre and now is recognized as one of the city’s house pioneers. Staring off strong in Chicago, Long’s following became strong enough to begin touring. With premier UK and U.S venues under his belt, Long has now looked to work in conjunction with 20:20 Vision to start his own record label called .DotBleep which features artist such as: Natural Rhythm, Sawtooth Sucka, Trade Marq and Miles Maeda. With a strong disco/house/techno line-up supporting him Long looks to bring Chicago together for a hell of a reunion. (Source Outlar.com)

[WHAT] Native to Stockholm, Sweden, Style of Eye is pushing the sounds of techno and adding his own twist to the euro music scene. With a hard hitting techno down-beat, Style of Eye makes sure he keeps the audience guessing by throwing in some industrial/synth/dub sounds. Jumpstarting the party will be a sick duel starring Nate Manic and Duke Shin. A healthy dose of electro sprinkled with disco tones and served on top of some good heavy bass.

[WHAT] DubFire is coming to take over Spybar and abuse its sound system. This Iranian born master DJ has progressivly flurished in the techno and minimalism music genres to the point where last year he won best techno artist at the Beat Port Music Awards. Acclaimed and on point, Dubfire’s combination of elongated dub synths, industrial breaks and a thumping techno/house bass line will keep you pulsing all night long. His new EP Rejekt 2010 is available after the jump >

[WHAT] “Come party with almost 10,000 fellow Tiesto fans and be witness to what can simply be described as a massive party under one unified vibe!” This sounds like its going to be insane. I have lots of respect for Tiesto and the hard work he puts into bringing techno round the world. The man grinds and loves what he does and it shows. His shows tend to sell out early so nab these tickets quick. There’s a lot of great music going on this November and I think this will be a concert you wont want to miss.
