Derrick Carter Interview + Live Set Stream (MP3)

The last time URB ran into Derrick Carter, he was buying shots for a crowd of people at Berlin’s Panorama Bar following his own set at neighboring club, Weekend. Most touring DJs with two decades experience behind the decks head home after their sets, but not our man DC, which might go a long way to explain why he’s still one of the best party starting jocks on the house music circuit. Derrick never forgot how to party himself. URB talked to the Chicago legend on the cusp of releasing his first mix for Fabric, and he even gave us an exclusive recording of a recent live set at Shelter for you to enjoy while reading.

Rick Wilhite – Analog Aquarium (Review)

Rick Wilhite

Analog Aquarium

Released by Still Music


Legendary Detroit house producer Rick “The Godson” Wilhite is releasing his debut album Analog Aquarium on the Chicago-based Still Music imprint.

Music Video: DJ Rashad / DJ Spinn, “Space Juke” (Video)

One of the first times I heard juke music I was in an apartment building in what we considered the slums of the neighborhood and I was only there accompanying my sister to some party. Just imagine a bunch of middle schoolers who were trying too hard pretty much juking in a dark and damp apartment in the middle of winter. Naturally watching a bunch of guys stand on a wall with girls grinding on their cocks while “what, let’s go to the mall” blasts through a home stereo system did not convince me and I thought the music was “ghetto” but like all things, somehow, someway people from across the world fell in love with this sound but later on I also did. Mainly because I found out there was so much better juke music out there. But in …

Chicago @ Metro: Cobalt and The Hired Guns, Matt Ryd, Kosha Dillz,and more tonight (Video & MP3)

If you are the windy city, come catch a magnificent show of local Chicagoists and rock n rollers tonight. The alternative rising star Kosha Dillz opens up as the out of town guest(Israeli-New Jerseyan), and Dot Dot Dot, Matt Ryd and Catch a Tiger all help prepare for the headliners, Cobalt and The Hired Guns. You can imagine lots of rocking, some rapping (via Kosha Dillz) a cheap entry fee ($9) and a couple hundred people on what could be the night of your life, or atleast the first night out of cob webs from your New Year’s Eve (which ended up lasting too long for you).

SURE. Weezer is playing down the street too at the Aragon Ballroom, but I’m not sure if you have over a hundred dollars to see the …
