mp3: New Mix From Edwin aka Konsept

By | April 30, 2008 at 11:27 pm | No comments

Konsept has been up to his teeth in events since relocating from KC/Lawrence to Chicago. He was gracious enough to throw a new mix our way (thanks for the original content!), which is super dope, loaded with funked up, disco-ey club stuff. You can catch Konsept (Konsept...

The transformation of Club Kandi to “Menages” (link to Jon’s photo album fixed!)

By | April 30, 2008 at 10:43 pm | No comments

Our good friends Jon and Andrea (pictured above) shot some pictures from Menages last Friday where the Control Freeks, Donald Glaude and DJ Dan spun records for what turned out to be a much better crowd than I expected, given that I hadn't been there in close to two years....
