UK duo Just Kiddin return to North America with a nine date tour to celebrate the release of their new edit of The Weeknd’s “Tell Your Friends” ,starting out in our very own, Primary tonight February 5th 2016. The track will be available as a free download ONLY through the tour period starting today and ending when they reach Denver, Colorado on February 27th. To download the track follow this LINK.
Things are moving quickly for the boys at Windy City Artist Collective (WCAC). Just weeks after coming together to raise the bar of music collaboration in Chicago; they have hosted a private event to showcase themselves to a select private crowd of supporters and have already put out a playlist of original tracks.
The heavy Trap 6 track release playlist simply entitled Chicago Compilation Vol. 1, gives 6 of WCAC members a chance to showcase their production skills, essentially showing you what they can bring to the table. It should be noted that even though I’m not a huge fan of trap a majority(4) of these tracks are very likable and well produced. The other two in my opinion will blend into the monotony of trap songs.
I wont break down each song for you as I hope you give them all a listen and formulate your own opinion. I take from the experience a sense of pride since many of these guys are not opening nor headlining any major shows just yet. The arrow is definitely point up for this crew, given they have a few thousand plays in just 2 days. This is truely only the beginning, so jump on the way and #SupportYourLocalDJS

Chicago’s EDM scene is full of emerging artists, some of which I was fortunate enough to meet and interview over the year while running this site. It’s my pleasure to introduce you to a new collaboration effort between a few of Chicago’s current rising artists, the Windy City Artist Collective. Currently their roster includes: Ascencion, Axilon, Bite Me, Bo Dega
Hi Five, Jsquared, KTRL and Smiirk. Last night they held a private event using the Autograf loft space to give each member a chance to show what they bring to the table. The entire sets were broadcasted live via the Future Factory Facebook page.
Below is my introductory interview with Antonio (Ascencion), from The Windy City Artist Collective.
Over the past year and a half Ascencion has taken his productions to a higher standard with a few successful remixes including a Dillon Francis remix that garnered support from the likes of Dapp, Crankdat, and a few other artists and blogs. His passion has shown through his work and he strives to break barriers in his style. In 2016, he will be releasing many new originals and collaborations defining his skills and asserting himself as a contender in the bass music scene.
Axilon, the Chicago based DJ / Producer duo consisting of Skyler Shores and M.D.P. Known for their heavy hitting original productions and energetic live sets that leave no genre untouched, the duo has seen a widely successful 2015 having played multiple major music festivals and regularly playing alongside top national artists. Their future house remix of Sir Mix A Lot’s Baby Got Back became a viral vine success with over 350,000 loops, and their future bass remix of How Deep Is Your Love has seen similar success with praises from many major EDM blogs. With a monthly residency at Chicago’s notorious Porn & Chicken, and upcoming tour dates at venues across the Midwest, the up and coming duo shows no sign of slowing down their rapid success.
BoDega, a new name to an old face. A self-taught guitarist since a childhood, Bo has been producing since 16, finally settling into Ableton as his weapon of choice for some years . His sound is the derivative of many years of musical wave riding, often referencing his Hip-Hop, Blues, and Metal roots. Having kept much work personal and choosing only to perform with it, his smooth and entrancing music will definitely find you off your ass on and on your feet. Like the hashtag claims #BoGotBeats
Jsquared are two artists based out of northwest Indiana. The name Jsquared came from the mix of Josh Ravesloot and Josh Ramos together bringing a dynamic mixture of rap,dub step ,electric hip hop, which is the style of music we now call trap today. The pair started playing locally in 2012 then over the years have had the chance to play with many big name artist as well as play festivals such as: Summer Set Music festival and North Coast Music Festival. They also put their own small tour together playing throughout the West Coast.
SMIIRK started out in his journey to DJing at the age 11. He took 4 years to hone his skills and won a chance to DJ at North Coast Music Festival, being the youngest to play at that festival. His 2015 was incredible with having appeared at Backwoods and Dancefestopia festivals. Now, he is taking that same drive to his production skills. With a little over a year of producing, he has seen his soundcloud likes increase and has had his music heard all over the world. His music style is Future Bass/Chill Trap but he loves all genres.
