Title: Lake Street Collective
Location: Darkroom (2210 W. Chicago Ave)
Time: 9pm – 2am (patio open until midnight0
Date: Friday, August 7, 2009

For years the epicenter of Chicago’s underground party scene was on one block of Lake Street.  Revolutionary Music’s Safe House was on the north side of the street and the illmeasures loft was on the south side.  DJs, performers and party people from all over the world found their way to the now legendary illicit parties.  Revolutionary Music and illmeasures have joined forces as the Lake Street Collective to bring that vibe back to venues around Chicago.  On August 7th, 2009 we bring it to Chicago’s Darkroom (2210 W. Chicago Ave.).

Our ultra sick line-up of DJs and performers is as follows…

9pm Justin Reed of illmeasures who recently signed his track Stormy Seasons to Revolutionary Music will kick the party off with some laid back

lounge grooves.  The patio will be open and the RM and illmeasures family is invited out for a semi-private and complimentary gathering.

10:15pm DJ FORM, a longtime resident DJ of Revolutionary Music’s Safe House and part of the illmeasures extended family will bring his amazing mid-tempo turntablism to bear on the vibe, kicking it up a notch.  FORM is also the DJ for the trip hop band the Baldwin Brothers as well as a local hip hop crew.
