OUTLET Techno Tuesdaze
Chicago's longest running techno night. Two years and still going strong. Featuring local Chicago and Midwest DJ heavyweights.
Tuesday, September 16th
Mike Dearborn
[MAJESTY, MAJIK GROOVE RECORDS]
This is the second time Mike has come down to the Wig to drop techno bombs on the loyal tech-heads. His last appearance at OUTLET was one of the most attended nights to date. We'll be bringing in some extra sound to ensure that Mike's set gets the power it deserves.
This local hero's noteworthy DJ gigs include Ministry of Sound in London, The Rex in Paris, Tresor Club in Berlin and MelkWeg in Holland. Mike has also played in other countries such as Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, Italy, Norway, Spain and Portugal. In addition, Mike has played some of North America's best clubs like The Limelight, Sound Factory and Twilo in New York, Shelter and Karma in Chicago and Industry in Toronto as well as many underground parties throughout the world.
Mike has remixed artists such as Gary Numan, Hardfloor, Joey Beltram, Robert Armani and Steve Stoll. Mike has headlined events worldwide with DJ heavyweights such as Carl Cox, Sven Vath, Daft Punk, Dave Clark and Westbam.

Nathan Ballard - Hard, Bangin' Techno
This emerging Chicago talent brings his own flavor of the hard and tracky techno not often found this side of the Atlantic. Beginning his DJ career in the Detroit Area in the late 90’s Nathan has moved to a more European influenced style of music as his career has progressed. He can now be found throwing down at illmeasures’s long-running techno weekly OUTLET, while also playing various guest slots in and around the Chicago area. If you like it hard and fast, Nathan will not leave you disappointed. Just remember to bring a helmet.

OUTLET TECHNO TUESDAZE
Chicago's longest running techno event. Taking it to the next level in September.
Tuesday, September 9th illmeasures welcomes producer & DJ:
ADAM JAY
[PRIMATE, AZURE, SUBLUNARY ARTIST MANAGEMENT - INDIANAPOLIS]
with illmeasures dj SINJIN warming up the decks in the early slot...
about ADAM JAY
DJing at the age of 16 in 1997, Adam’s skills as a performer were quickly developed. Performing at the historic East Town Theatre (in its heyday hosting the likes of Hendrix, Joplin, and James Brown) in Detroit on his 18th birthday marked the true beginning of an illustrious career as a DJ. Live Pa’s naturally followed with the request of a live performance alongside Marco Carola and Funk D’Void in 2001.
Azure Records was formed in 1998 by Adam Jay as an expression of funk and soul within techno music by various American artists, unknown and well known. Outside of Azure, Adam’s debut 12†output was heard on Placktown Sounds #23 “Ornithopterâ€. An immediate classic in the global techno community, this release paved the way for the timeless EP on Primevil, “The Wrathâ€. Other releases soon followed on Sweden’s Zync Records, and England’s Primate Recordings. Chromagnon Recordings was then formed by Adam Jay as an outlet for more up front and menacing tracks. When DJ T-1000 was asked about Adam’s recent output on such labels the response was simply “Damn!â€
As a DJ and producer, Adam was consulted as a resource for the book “A Study of Rhythm and Meter in Electronic Dance Music†by Mark Butler. “The Punish Techno Show†radio program in Dublin, Ireland has also requested exclusive live performances from Adam for broadcast. Other accomplishments include a sponsorship by the German company Music and More (MAM) as thanks for the exceptional use and promotion of their products, and the licensing of “The Wrath†on DJ C-1’s Intec Records mixed compilation, “Shifting Gearsâ€.

Twonz @ Outlet Techno Tuesdaze: 10/14
in Chicago
Posted
illmeasures presents
OUTLET TECHNO TUESDAZE
The longest running techno event in Chicago, featuring the best techno djs/producers the midwest has to offer.
This Tuesday, 10/14, OUTLET welcomes detroit techno hero:
TWONZ
[hijacked records, detroit]
Techno is the soul of Detroit and Twonz is at the heart of Detroit Techno. As a DJ, his style is unmatched. He's taken his influences from the world's acclaimed turntable masters and molded them into an awe inspiring blend of turntablism and programming mastery. His hands never stop moving, gliding nimbly and accurately across the tables and mixers taking crowds on an intense journey that makes you feel like you're in a nightclub in Blade Runner or Neuromancer.
His Sets are best described as the audio equivalent of a one-night stand with a super model. They build intensely from beginning to end, full of changing tempos and styles rising to thumping peaks then gropping back into electro-flavored holding patterns.
Each tease pulls you down to a groove bob and then when you least expect it hammers back with a pounding resonance that causes the body to shake and pound to perfect rhythm. The beats ebb and flow with increasing intensity, building to a massive crescendo that reflects the most inherently primal elements in our psyche.
Opening the night, illmeasures own resident DJ:
NATHAN BALLARD
This emerging Chicago talent brings his own flavor of the hard and tracky techno not often found this side of the Atlantic. Beginning his DJ career in the Detroit Area in the late 90’s Nathan has moved to a more European influenced style of music as his career has progressed. If you like your techno hard and fast, Nathan will not leave you disappointed. Just remember to bring a helmet.
