Launching this concept with Ben Watt [AMP, m101, Spy] at the helm in July, AMP will continue the bookings at SpyBar on Wednesday's to bring you the legends of the game. Our next party will be Wednesday, October 03 with Britain's godfather of house, Evil Eddie Richards. These nights are packed with the right people at the right venue! Wednesday, October 03 Evil Eddie Richards It has been a very busy time for Eddie Richards, dance music's Quintessential pioneer and "Britains godfather of house and techno" (Mixmag). One of the first DJs to champion house back in the mid 80s and one of the UK's original mix DJs residing at London's Camden Palace, voted best club in the world, (Record Mirror.) Eddie became a key figure in a new music and cultural movement soon to explode worldwide. After playing at such influential and original underground clubs as Clink St. and Heaven in London and Manchester's Hacienda, he went on to headline the legendary Sunrise, Energy , and Helter Skelter among countless others. Remix and production work led to the release of club classics; Acidman in 1988 which hit National Top 20, followed by other chart topping remixes of Ralphi Rosario, Orbital and The Shamen. Since the mid 80s he has been included in virtually every book, documentary and film on the dance culture and sought after all over the world for his flawless mix of deep bass driven techno with soulful and tough tribal house, a format he has always maintained, and has led him to be widely regarded as the pioneer of what is now known as tech-house. http://www.eddierichards.net/ Along with, Tracy Tobey [Gramaphone, AMP] ________________ $10 General Admission $5 before 12am with rsvp @ www.ampprod.com/rsvp ________________ Spybar 646 N Franklin Chicago USA 10p - 4a

Friday, August 31 :: 16 Bit Lolitas $5 with RSVP @ www.ampprod.com/rsvp before 12am $10 General Admission Open Bar 10-11pm 16 BIT LOLITAS [Hope, CR2, Shinichi] Peter Kriek and Ariaan Olieroock had been making music on their own for some time before joining forces and becoming 16 Bit Lolitas in 2003. This collaboration quckly produced a wave of releases. Tracks such as The Puppet Show, Destiny, My Lexicon, Stereo Control and the epic Sedna quickly followed on labels as diverse as Yoshitoshi, Alternative Route, Release, Sadie, Plastic Fantastic, Nu Republic, Armada, Minimal, DK and Little Mountain Recordings. A hectic three years has propelled the boys into the spotlight where their crisp creations have carved out a sound that is both cool and sophisticated. It embraces all that is good about House. Peter and Ariaan consistently turn in tight productions that stand out in a crowded market place. It’s electronic music that has been patiently crafted and produced with emotion as well as technical proficiency. The 16 Bit sound is aimed at the ‘thinking clubber’: shimmering bass lines that are devised to test the cream of the world’s sound systems to the max, compressed kicks that rarely exceed 128 BPM with sparkling hi-hats sprinkled on top.

Friday, July 13 :: Gourmet vs Hej DOME ROOM:: MAZI [Gourmet Recordings, Audio Soul Project] This relentlessly forward-thinking approach has focused Mazi throughout his ten-plus years of making dance music. He's released over 150 productions and remixes, and DJ'ed in every corner of the world, but his sound is constantly evolving, a creative process that shows no signs of slowing down. While he spent part of 2004 assessing where he was musically, he's begun 2006 with a renewed fever for his music, and with a slate of ambitious projects on the horizon. DJing has always been Mazi's first passion, and his recent sets have been particularly inspired. Listen to Mazi behind the decks these days and you'll hear a survey of dance music's extreme cutting-edge labels and tracks. His record bag is packed with a furious collision of 303 acid lines; searing synthesizers; thick, punchy drum kits; new wave-inspired vocals; and tracky, jacked-up house and techno. His sound touches on the electronic house style that has put labels like Brique Rouge, Crosstown Rebels, Poker Flat, Get Physical, Freak n' Chic and Mazi's own Gourmet at the forefront of the underground labels that have been burning up the industry.

DAVE T [AMP, Faderwave.net, DJDaveT.net] Introduced to the sounds of electronic music in the late 90's, Dave T was quickly drawn into the house music scene. However, it wasn't until he was tag teaming light shows with a friend at Moda Nightclub in Cleveland, OH that Dave decided to move away from his 14 year percussion background and purchase his first 1200's after moving to Chicago in 2004. Dave's style has matured into what you'll now hear in the selection of House incorporated in his sets. His selection generally covers a range of house music, which includes but is not limited to, tech house, electro, and tribal. His influences include Rene Amesz, Kriece, Jeff Bennett, John Dahlback, Andrea Bertolini, Mario Ochoa, Tony Thomas, and Sebastien Leger. Dave takes great pride in exposing obscure tracks that otherwise might have gone unheard. His style, track selection, and programming skills influence clubbers onto a dance floor and into an ultimate clubbing experience. Expect the unexpected as Dave is consistently striving to take his listeners on a clubbing journey that will surely be remembered. Dave's percussion background and understanding of composition has helped set him apart from his peers. He has accomplished a great deal in the industry since becoming serious about the decks, and looks forward to rounding his DJ’ing career by adding his own production to his sets in the near future. He has also been noticed internationally, having a mix selected by London based magazine “DJ†to grace the pages of the September 2006 issue. Dave currently holds a weekly residency on internet radio, Faderwave.net www.djdavet.net www.myspace.com/deejaydavet HAC LE & MIKE KHOURY [AMP, Listed, Auralism, Deckstar, Play Co] Two of Chicago's biggest and baddest DJs unite for a heady blend of minimal and techy beats! About Mike Khoury Mike Khoury has a passion for electronic music that has helped him quickly become one of Chicago's top underground DJs. Mike's diverse and unique sound combines the best of tech house, minimal techno, and progressive house. His dark n' dirty sets have ignited dancefloor madness at Chicago's best venues: Vision, Crobar, Sound-Bar, and Spybar. In addition to headlining, Mike has opened for industry heavyweights such as Paul Van Dyk, Danny Howells, Lee Burridge, Ferry Corsten, Paul Oakenfold, Chris Fortier, and Matthew Dekay and has had mixes featured on Proton Radio and Chicago's WNUR. In 2006, Mike earned fans nationwide with key gigs in New York, LA, and San Francisco. Expect to hear fresh and dirty grooves over pumping basslines that rock the dancefloor. About Hac Le A native of Vietnam,Hac Le started spinning over a decade ago while he was a junior in high school in Los Angeles, California. Early on in his career he was introduced to the underground sounds of the West Coast. From there Hac packed his bags and moved on to Chicago where he took a brief two year hiatus before returning to the decks. He re-emerged with a distinctive musical style - fusing his previous West Coast experience with the local Chicago House and Techno scenes. Known for his contrast of light and dark emotive soundscapes, Hac has captivated crowds across the country with his energetic, chunky, throbbing beats, performing in Chicago (Crobar, Transit, RedNoFive), San Francisco (The EndUp, Mezzanine, LoveFest, Anu), Los Angeles (Avalon), Milwaukee and Mexico (Mexico City, Cancun, Acapulco and Queretaro) with some of the best talent in the industry such as John Digweed, Lee Burrudge, Bill Patrick, Desyn Masiello, Moshic, BT, The Crystal Method, Taylor, Sandra Collins, Paul Van Dyk, Deep Dish, Pako & Frederik, Hector Romero, James Zabiela, Demi, Kazell and Hernan Cattaneo. Recently, Hac was recognized by one of the top DJs in the world. His mix was hand picked by John Digweed out of over 2000 entries as the winner of FutureMusic’s Next Big Thing DJ contest. John Digweed was so enamored by Hac's winning entry that he decided to feature the mix on an episode of his internationally syndicated Kiss 100 radio show. Hac was also flown out to Denver to open for John Digweed and Desyn Masiello’s Endless Summer Tour at the world famous venue, The Church. The media exposure has catapulted Hac’s name and sound onto an even larger international stage. www.playcomusic.com www.myspace.com/playcofriends www.myspace.com/djmikekhoury Featuring special guest DJ...
