hey there fwilso01! i never did get to any techno i wanted to hit some of the suggestions from this board, but between work engagements there wasn't a good night. i'm back in chicago now and ready for some marco bailey techno this saturday night!

green velvet is awesome so long as he shows up typically when he appears as green velvet, he does a live PA and when he is cajmere he is dj-ing (which he is not quite as good at) - although he sometimes does the alter-ego thing where he dj's as green velvet... best tracks are la-la-land, perculator, flash, etc. i think he is more in the techno genre rather than house (one of the chicago techno pioneers). regardless, i highly recommend! should be a great show!

here is a pic of me from my friend's website - only pic i have on-line and i'm not sure how to embed: http://www.paulinchicago.com/gallery/2004/07_16_soundbar/02.html if anyone sees me at sullivan room - be sure to say hello

yeah - thanks! i'll definitely try and go to that

those are a lot of chicago djs but they spin house! not my thing - guess i'm living in the wrong city...

he's fun saw him in chicago many years ago. i do still like the harder, bangin' techno - but am more into the minimal lately

cool - thanks!

thanks! but i'm not sure how to post a pic

hey everyone - i'm from chicago but in NY for work for 3 weeks (been here already for 1 week) and need a little help i'm into the techno/telectro scene (e.g. sounds of richie hawtin, sven vath, etc) and was wondering if there are any smaller lounges in NYC that have good techno djs on the weekend - doesn't matter if they're local djs. i've done the bigger clubs here but would prefer to listen to some good music in a smaller space. any advice would be much appreciated! thanks -alli

hey - i live in chicago! depends on what you're looking for, but some events for you that week: 4.14: Derrick Carter, Chez Damier, Miles Maeda @ Smartbar 4.15: Stacy Pullen, Josh Werner @ Smartbar 4.15: Dave Seaman, Luke Chable @ Soundbar local talent also plays at lots of smaller venues - i suggest sonotheque then there is always vision (Godskitchen / Spundae) or the original crobar, but since the crobar remodel they don't book any good talent. my fave is soundbar - i'll be heading there this friday for sven vath! hope this helps -alli PS some sites to check before your trip: http://www.inside-chicago.com/fforum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=16700 or http://www.purefuture.com/talk

hey, just checking all my options unfortunately we'll only be in south beach for saturday night - we'll be on the other coast (Naples) friday. thanks for your help though! we'll most likely go see sean cusik at privilege and then head to space if we're up for it late night/morning.

Hi all - I'm from Chicago and will be in town this weekend Does anyone have any suggestions for this Saturday night in South Beach? We prefer techno but would also be interested in tech-house or prog. Usually when we're in town we go to Crobar and Space but would be up for something different. Any suggestions would be much appreciated! Thanks

Did Privilege perhaps used to be the living room? just a guess... Also - I looked at the Nerve listing for saturday night - says something about 'weekly party for boys'? since i'm a girl and will be going w/ my boyfriend i'm thinking we probably won't go there. i've been to lola so at least i'm not missing out.

thanks for the info! i'll definitely check out privilege - how big is the club? is it new? don't think i remember it. what kind of music do your locals play? haven't been to nerve yet either and wouldn't mind checking it out

Hi everyone - I'm from Chicago and will be in town this weekend Is there a list anywhere on-line with all the events at each venue for Saturday night? We are only in South Beach for one night so we want to be sure to know our options. We really like techno but will settle for prog or tech-house. Usually when we're in town we go to Crobar and Space but wouldn't mind trying something different. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

i heard the show was amazing at House of Blues in Chicago - Tall Paul even threw down some old skool tracks like house of god - and Bad Boy Bill was scratchin' it up. i'm in town this week on business so i am so excited there is something like this to do while i'm down here.

definitely try and check out crobar on a saturday night! or vision is also good on saturdays because spundae is there and they bring in excellent talent. fridays i would check around and see who is spinning where. check out: www.inside-chicago.com www.purefuture.com www.crobarnightclub.com www.spundae.com before you go! i agree with lola that the w is really nice and so is the house of blues lowes hotel also!

i'm 5'9"

i like d:fuse - he's kinda trancy, but good stuff overall. i'm jealous!

Thanks, guys!

why don't you just look in the whitepages on line?

Hi all - I will be coming to South Beach on July 12-14 and have a question for everyone. What is the best hotel in SoBe can I stay at (ammenities and location), at the most reasonable price??? Since it is summer/off-peak season, I figured I could stay somewhere for under $100 that is pretty nice. I know that would not include places like the Delano - but still something nice. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

i read that in the june mixer as well and had the same reaction as you! that was awfully conceted of him to say... plus, the last time he was in chicago i'd have to say i was very disappointed with his set and so was everyone else. the dancefloor had all of 5 people on it and was cleared out/empty 2 hours before close (that NEVER happens at redno5). sorry george, but you gotta get off your high horse and back to reality.

im going to crobar chicago tonight to see satoshi!

hehe - i love that movie! it is so funny to see bad boy bill on the big screen! im not sure where it was filmed though
