SOUND CULTURE
(Chicago / El Salvador)

Born and raised in Chicago’s Logan Square neighborhood DJ Sound Culture has always had a great affinity for world cultures and deep music. His passion for both has to a large extent laid the path in front of him for most of his life. In the dj booth DJ Sound Culture is somewhat of an ethno-musicologist or rhythmic cultural chemist of sorts, exploring the world’s sounds and finding the threads that tie us all together globally. From Bhangra to Balkan Beat, African Soukous to Latin House, he knows how to navigate your auditory senses. His live mixes are both dynamic and cohesive, whether you’re a world music enthusiast or dance floor regular, he keeps things interesting and moving smoothly.

Accolades include: Twice featured DJ at World Music Festival Chicago – the longest running world music festival in the country, featured world music DJ at Folk and Roots Festival Chicago 2011, featured DJ at Nomadic World Music Festival 2010, Voted favorite dj by CHIRemezcla representing Chicago’s cutting edge latin music scene for the national En Tu Cuidad campaign.

“VoodooKiller” DJ NewLife
(CHICAGO)

Born and bred in Chicago’s Logan Square neighborhood, DJ NewLife was surrounded by music since birth. As the son of a musician/vocalist and an artist, he has always been described as someone who never fell into the modes of traditional thought. This carries over into his diverse brand of music and the styles of beats that just seem to choose themselves while he’s on the decks. As the creator of the Foreign Exchange party (FEx) in Chicago, he has helped to bring global music and presence to the forefront of Chicago night life for the past two years.

Commonwealth takes a new approach to downtown clubbing, and crowds are taking note. The savvy, hip types, people that are deep into music culture, flock to Commonwealth to hear forward-thinking underground dance music, sip on Crimson’s tempting signature cocktails, and enjoy the opulent ambience that makes the lounge a unique gem in the Chicago nightlife scene. Commonwealth guests will be invited to savor drink specials featuring Bacardi rum and flavors. Sip on $6 Bacardi cocktails and enjoy $4 beers as well as 25% off the food menu while the innovative sounds of Soulphonetics flood the room through Crimson’s Funktion One system.

LONNIE WALKER & her Big Bad Ass Company Band

A true original, there is no one else out there like Lonie Walker! At one with her acoustic piano, sweet whiskey stained voice and searing honesty, Lonie bares her soul through her music. Walker defies musical categorization. Uniting elements of rock, soul, funk, jazz and blues and a vocal styling that BarFly Magazine says “wails and whispers her heart’s jazz-stirrings,” Lonie recalls Janis Joplin at her feverish peak. However, nothing is better than Lonie Walker live! From New York to Paris and Antwerp to Berlin, Lonie and the band connect with their audiences, leaving them with an unforgettable, one-of-a-kind musical experience. That is pure Lonie Walker.

“Roar! …this lady has attained cult status!” -Stereo Magazine.
