Milk n Cookies – Monster (Xonic & Hi Five Remix) [New Release]

Screen Shot 2015-04-16 at 8.25.01 PM

Local DJs Xonic and Hi Five teamed up to remix Milk n Cookies’ – “Monster” ft. Alina Renae. The duo takes Milk n Cookies’ hard hitting original track and makes it their own by keeping the original melody, beat structure, and great vocals by Alina Renae. They added a more simple, almost minimal rhythm section, instead of a hard “womp”. It works very well because it is a nice contrast, as is comparable to music made by artists Tchami and Oliver Heldens. Check it out below and make sure to show them some love & support!

Chicago Forgets the World with AFROJACK

Independence day weekend Chicago hosted the one and only dutch dj Nick Van De Wall. You might know him better by his famous stage name AFROJACK. Doors opened for the outdoors event at 5pm on July 5th at the Grand Ballroom in Navy Pier. The outdoors event brought in over 6000 people of ALL AGES and from all around the chicagoland area.

The event was kicked off with a few hours of deep house brought to you by local dj and producer Statut3. Following his performance was the Chicago dj duo Milk N Cookies.  Chicago being the city that it is, brought some unexpected precipitation that could have delayed the outdoors show. Luckily a tent was pitched on top of the brothers causing no delay in their set. Milk N Cookies brought a variety of new and old songs that were definite crowd-pleasers. After their set Chicago could no longer wait for the renowned emmy-award winning dj and producer AFROJACK.

From the beginning of his set to the very last track Afrojack was no disappointment. He started out his set with “Bang Duck” which gave his audience a foresight into what kind of night it was going to be. There was no doubt that he would be playing his new hits from his new album such as “Ten Feet Tall”, “The Spark”, and “Freedom”. He also took Chicago back with his oldies like “Take Over Control”, “Rock The House”, and personal favorite “Can’t Stop Me”.  Nick van de Wall has played in Chicago four times in the last few years, and every single time he passes his previous performance in both energetic and theatrical aspects to performing live. Navy Pier sparked the Chicago backdrop by their fireworks display during one of 2014’s anthems “Tremor”. Other noticeable remixes he played were: Calvin Harris’s “Sweet Nothing”, David Guetta’s “Titanium”, Blasterjaxx’s “Fifteen”, and Showtek’s “Cannonball”.

Huge “Thank You!” from the Whysochi family and ALL of Chicago to Afrojack for making us forget the world and keeping our love alive with his music.
