October 30th, 2003 - Our Big Wig Finale Localsound and Big Wig present Halloween with 6 Massive DJs! Well, after a 17 month residency, Localsound is moving from Big Wig. We'll have details on our new night/new venue as soon as they're finalized. It's been an incredible run which saw some incredible nights like Derrick Carter, DFuse, Breaksgiving, and of course we would like to thank the venue and staff for a great run and we wish Big Wig, which is undoubtedly one of the best Chicago supporters of music, the best. We mostly would like to thank our loyal weekly crowds who come time and time again to support underground local music. If you haven't been by in a while, stop by to let us say thanks! We have even better for you with our upcoming news so stayed tuned! Now to the Details: Now that Big Wig has sectioned off the upstairs lounge, we're adding a second sound system and bartender to double your aural and drinking pleasure. Downstairs will be Pulz-8 performing his NEW Live PA, Alex Peace, Mystic Bill and Chris Gin, all tag-teaming and having fun with a loose format. This IS our most ambitious show to date and can you remember the last time this much talent was assembled on one night at Big Wig? In the upstairs lounge, Johnny Chaos & Breakdown B will create their own brand of madness as we bring Big Wig their first dual-floor sound system. The FINE Print: Former Crobar residents Chris Gin & Pulz 8 & Mystic Bill reunite yet again for a heart- pounding set of blistering music. Pulz-8 will be playing his LIVE PA with new material from 11:30pm-2am. Together w/ Alex Peace, founder of _fadedmuzik, there will be tag-teaming, backspinning, and scratching 6 hours of jaw-dropping painful pleasure. To top it all off, we're replacing all the lights with blacklight blubs and decorating like nothing you've seen in Big Wig ever before.

Presales end Thursday - Dont wait to get yours....

Sept 26- Back Again w/ Ming & FS, Atomly and Droopy Ming & FS spend their time converting skeptics and exciting newcomers by bravely carving out a space into the landscape that is future music. For those who don't know, their unorthodox blend of jungle, hip-hop and turntablism blankets the masses with a quality mix of the known and unknown. Be prepared. Last year for the Subway Series, Ming & FS absolutely slammed the Note, with people having to be turned away at the door. This year's show is in a bigger club so expect madness. Be prepared Ming & FS (madhattan records) Atomly (atomiq records) Droopy (simple pleasures/selekta Clout 1248 W George (across from elbo room) Open 8p-2am No Dress Code, 21+ID $15 presale tickets at http://www.*************.com/ordersystem/groove/eventviewqb.asp?affilid=93&eventsid=6761 $20 cover at the door / Presales tickets will also be available at selected stores in Chicago next week. Valet available all night / Please arrive early as parking is limited. Ming & Fs Bio ************************ The legendary story of Ming and FS as a team begins in 1996, when the two collided at a party in Manhattan. Together under the moniker Lead Foot, they put out several breakbeat tracks, and eventually opened their own production studio/label Madhattan Studios in 1997. Introduced to San Francisco's Om Records, and signed to the label in 1998, they garnered more attention from the underground music community producing tracks for the likes of Omzone, Terra Deva and DJ Spooky, as well as tracks for Jungle Sky and Ubiquity Recordings. On the Madhattan Studios label, they also released the rare and highly collected breaks 12" inch series "Bar Mitzvah Breaks" which DJ Craze used to win two DMC championships (1999 and 2000). That record also found its way into the hands of Mix Master Mike and Z Trip, both of which incorporated it into their sets. Their debut full-length album Hell's Kitchen, released on Om Records in August of 1999, achieved huge critical acclaim. Gaining features in URB (Next 100), Mixer, BPM Culture, XLR8R and Spin, Ming and FS' reputation as premier up and coming producers enticed other established artists to seek the duo for remix work and has led to collaboration and remixes with Puff Daddy, Aphrodite, Craig David, Glenn Lewis, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Suzanne Vega. Beyond their production prowess, the Ming and FS live show has earned them their biggest following. Their four turntable spectacular is the performance that DJ's from around the world come to see. DMA Magazine's Willy Vega explains "If I started practicing today, I'd still die of old age before I could do that!!!" Performing before masses from 1,000 to 40,000, Ming and FS have shared the stage with the likes of Sting, Moby, Run DMC, Armand Van Heldon, Mark Farina, Paul Oakenfold, The Roots, Mix Master Mike and Kruder and Dorfmeister. Remixing tracks live, creating original works of music using turntables and accapellas strictly, has created such "live only" classics as Black Sabbath, Snoop Dogg, Missy Elliot, Ludacris and Michael Jackson remixes heard only at Ming and FS shows. Fans know that when Ming and FS come to town, it's going to go off, and the party will leave you hooked on the junkyard sound forever! In the fall of 2001, the world got a taste of the sophomore effort, The Human Condition, a gritty experimentation into the sides of house and breaks. Gaining strong support from lifestyle and music magazines such as Billboard, Paper, VIBE and URB, the Human Condition established Ming and FS as a national touring act. New York's Agency Group head Peter Schwartz signed the duo for all national booking, placing them with other artists in his repertoire including George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic, The X-ecutioners and Creed. Returning to the studio to record their strongest musical achievement to date, Ming and FS come home to the hip-hop staple and heartbeat that is Hell's Kitchen NYC! Closer to their world-renowned live show than anything they have ever recorded, this new album stands as a hard progressive hip-hop and drum and bass banger. ************************
