He’s less of a DJ and more of one of those electronica artists that attempts to make DJing all about straight…read more

Chicago’s own Bit Funk and the Montreal one-man powerhouse CFCF (nee Mike Silver) are both coming down the stairs to the basement of Santos Party House for the monthly Discovery party, helmed at the wheelhouse by VDRK and Free Magic.

We were feeling a little experimental this weekend, and decided to make something a little different. Specifically, we decided it was time to try to prepare duck at home.

Some of those artists took it upon themselves to…read more
