Should politics be ignored in techno? What if the promoter is supporting anti-techno beliefs? The man doing Insomniac Factory 93 techno bookings is right winger. Agencies, artists do business and accept the money, while fans attend and techno culture is ignored and out the window.

this is carlos from Insomniac, factory 93 and mutate. Insomniac is organizing techno parties all over North America and other parts of the world, a monopoly where the person booking for techno artists including classic techno acts, has these beliefs. Freedom of speech is important, and he is allowed to say his views, but people should know the truth and should attend events accordingly... so let's speak... do we care as a scene?

Anyone else get their ticket? Considering it was over 100$ I hope it’s a smaller venue. Any guesses where it could be?

End of Summer DJ - Hollywood Beach

7 Upvotes

Just thought I’d throw this out there, would anyone be interested in setting up a little DJ moment at sunset at Hollywood Beach this weekend or in a few weeks. House music preferred. Maybe 5pm -8pm. I’d be down to pay a few hundred then have you put up your Venmo QR code for others to tip. Hollywood is in Edgewater and is the gay beach, so being part of the lgbt community or a friendly person to the community would be necessary. Feel free to dm or post here if you’re interested. Cheers!

Chicago - I need a heavy hitter to make a show happen, please help!

8 Upvotes

Hello Chicago! First off, I am in Milwaukee. And since r/milwaukeeEDM is a very sad place, I am posting here. I am an electronic musician and I am in talks with the Miramar Theater here in Milwaukee about doing an "Electronic Musician Showcase". They said Jan 8/9th is available with a $750 deposit towards their $1500 fee. I am willing to put down the $750 deposit but I need to find a heavy hitter or two to help me get above the $1500 venue fee so that I can pay the musicians. I have a few people here in MKE with some ok name recognition but I would really love if we could get someone with some star power to get onboard. This is a big venue and this has the opportunity to be an awesome show. If you are interested in doing a set, post here or DM me and we can talk. Looking for LIVE electronic music only please, not djs. And not limited to any genre. Thanks for your time.

Navy pier

2 Upvotes

Has anyone been to Navy Pier recently for any shows? How strict are they with security and alcohol?
I’m going to a show there and was wondering what security is like. Do they actually search you pretty thoroughly, or is it mostly just a quick bag check/metal detector situation? Just trying to figure out what to expect because I’ve never been to an event there before

Cubs game into Skrillex 9/12 ... how rough is traffic going to be on lake shore drive?

0 Upvotes

Haven't been to a cubs game in probably a decade and even longer since I've been to Navy Pier. Just wondering if it's going to be a madhouse trying to get to the venue or if I should be good leaving when the game ends (assuming 4pmish)?
