FRIDAY FEBRUARY 22 DJ SNEAK, DOC MARTIN, JAMES WHAT, ROUZBEH, RICH KORACH, DAX
THOUGH he’s been pushed back into the spotlight recently - in part by his famed Twitter feuds - DJ Sneak has been an innovator, master selector and gangster of house long before social media had anything to say about it. Sneak helped push filtered disco house to the forefront, inspiring the likes of Daft Punk and Basement Jaxx, had chart topping singles, remixed everyone from Justin Timberlake to Matthew Dear and co-wrote Daft Punk’s Top 10 hit in the UK pop charts, ‘Digital Love’. In 2012, he mixed the 62nd Fabric compilation and over the summer he played almost every week, at almost every club in Ibiza, all while keeping it locked down in true Sneak fashion. Joining DJ Sneak will be none other than Doc Martin, a pioneer in his own right. If it’s a clubbing institution, he’s played it. And rocked it. Martin is known for his ability to blend any sound in the world of house and is one of the most well respected DJs there is when it comes to the art of mixing.

IF there’s a proper way to see certain artists, then for the Life and Death crew it’s in an intimate setting surrounded by likeminded people. People seeking the same answers, pondering the same mysteries of the universe and in search of the same mystic, funk driven beats these guys are known for. Though far from the most hyped or packed, their night at DC10 went down as one of the most special parties of the summer. So, though the crew could likely sell out a much larger slicker venue, a 300 capacity private loft in Wicker Park is exactly the space their melodic space-disco grooves need. If any of this sounded pretentious, it isn’t. Tickets to this event are first come, first served. Get them before it’s too late.
