Electro Going Head 2 Head With Dubstep
Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010Electro Vs Dubstep
Just like the miracle of chocolate and peanut butter, Calvin and Hobbs, and Jack and Coke, there hasn’t been a better mashup of music like the announced, Electro Vs Dubstep show at the Portage Theater, in Chicago, IL. Bringing together the best of both worlds, well known, electronic sing-a-long dabce tracks that have reached extraordinary levels of popularity in the past few years from artists such as, Chromeo, The Bloody Beetroots, Daft Punk, Girl Talk, and Boyz Noize amongst too many others to name. The genre brings together fast paced music, with interesting melodies that make people want to dance.
On the other end of the spectrum you have the newer sensation that is dubstep. Heavy hitting, large drop’s, and more wobble than you can handle. The genre is picking up steam with artists such as, Benga, Rusko, Caspa, Excision and many others leading the pack at the forefront. The popularity of the genre is becoming recognized by electronic music festivals all over the world, with Ultra and Coachella just among a few that has added dubstep artists to their lineup for 2010.
Saturday, March 6th will be one show to remember, giving again the best of both worlds from local Chicago electronic scene DJ’s, such as, Midnight Conspiracy, Phaded, Nameloc, Solo, Broken Disco 1980, Action Adventure and Destruction, along with live visuals to finish off a night, full of what will surely be an intense array of dancing, drinking, partying, and being exposed to new music at this months 18+ showcase at the Portage Theater. There’s nothing left to say besides, don’t miss out on the opportunity to expose yourself to what truly moves the youth of today, a never ending array of diverse and different music. See you on the dance floor.

The hype for the first official, “Delorean Nites” at recently opened Lincoln Hall in Chicago, was anything but contradictory to the hype that the show was receiving up to February 6th and the build up was intense. The doors were scheduled to open at 10:30pm and already had a line stretching around the venue and into the ally around back. This gave any on lookers or doubters to the shows success, a quick reality check to the scale and popularity of not only Delorean Nites, but for the New York electronic sensation, Designer Drugs.
