it’s mid-week here in the windy city with another significantly important announcement. the weekend of DFA in chicago is upon us. DFA comes to town taking over the lower level of Smartbar this FRIDAY and SATURDAY celebrating 20 years of the label. the 1st nite DFA Take Over James Murphy * Juan MacLean * Pat Mahoney * Nancy Whang $25 adv. - $30 day of / 21+ / Doors: 10PM the 2nd nite DFA Take Over James Murphy * 2manydjs * Traxx $25 adv. - $30 day of / 21+ / Doors: 10PM the 2nd nite Traxx aka tHe kiD makes the opening proceedings for 2 hours wearing a mask 😷 for our safety and yours with sanitizer💦 on hand. we can’t even begin to fathom, let alone digest this unspeakable opportunity we’ve been given...again!! it’s....beyond overwhelming.. we’d like to personally thank James Murphy and DFA for believing in us with an opportunity to share the stage with these fine people! this is a very rare appearance to witness James and 2Manydjs.. I met Soulwax at Coachella in 2016 when they brought DESPACIO to a tent where they all played together with vinyl for hours on end while partygoers dance the night away on a circular dance floor surrounded by 7 custom built speakers - each standing 11 feet (3.3 meters) tall - for a truly immersive sound experience we personally enjoyed that was an unforgettable and musically magical time that we wanted to make a mention of a fond and fun memory. DESPACIO is Murphy and his friends David and Stephen Dewaele of Soulwax and 2manydjs as these gents will be playing separate segments but to us it’s a return to what we witnessed 6 years ago.. this will be an intimate connection to the dance floor.. if your able to join us 4 an incredible musical adventure, do so! U won’t regret it..🎚🔊🎶 for many days since we’ve known this was happening has been nothing but heavy thorough musical preparation as we have selected songs (all over the spectrum) to play plus brand new material from the many releases (forthcoming) and god knows what else but diS shYt will be outta hand!!️ witnessing Traxx manipulate music is a real shamanistic free spirited energy experience⚡️
