for those in chicago: monday 31 july
just wanted to send out a quick note that traxx has arranged for theo parrish to play tonight at the pontiac cafe. this is the chicago debut for theo parrish, whose detroit-based sound signature label is, in the words of a friend, quietly redefining soul music. his style is raw, sometimes lo-fi and gritty, with looped samples from varied sources - spoken, rapped, & sung - and a muffled sound to the percussion. some of his melodies are amazingly eerie and dark, while others are light and infectious. 10 pm - 1:30 am pontiac cafe 1531 n damen 773 252 7767 (this will probably be 21+ but you can call to check) if you would like to be added to the chicago techno events list, please drop me a mail. my apologies to those of you who are already on the list who have received this twice. -dave
