Erick Morillo Brings House Music To The Mid Chicago (Photos)

Last weekend House DJ/Producer Erick Morillo brought is smooth sounds to The Mid Chicago and blessed fans with an amazing set. Our friends at React Presents let us come through and snap a few photos of the evening. Drinks were flowing, the house was packed, and everyone around danced the whole night long. I wasn’t too familiar with Erick beforehand and it took me be surprise when I heard he was the man behind “I Like To Move It”, but he stormed through Chicago with a lot of energy and that definitely came out in his set. We hope to see Mr. Morillo back in the Windy City sometime soon, but until then, check out a few shots we took.

Feed Me Talks New Stage Setup, Music, Upcoming Projects & More (IMF Exclusive)

A few weeks ago we had the opportunity to sit down with English-based producer Jon Gooch, more commonly known by his stage name Feed Me. We discussed how his current tour had been going, his new teeth stage setup and how it was designed, and what we can expect from him down the road in 2012. All you Feed Me fans will be happy to know, we did talk about the album and he said it’s a work in progress, but to share a little secret, there may be two separate projects coming. Maybe. You’ll just have to wait and see what he’s got up his sleeve. If you missed his show at Congress we’ve also included a few clips so you can check out his awesome stage setup.

We’ve been shooting like mad men here at IMF so we’re slightly behind on schedule, but we’re still giving you exclusive content you can’t see anywhere else including these latest shots of Fedde Le Grand taking over Enclave Chicago a few weekends ago.

Love & Light Interview At The 2012 Ultra Music Festival (Video)

One of the most fun things we got to do while in Miami for the 2012 Ultra Music Festival was getting to sit down with Matt Madonna and Ryan Anderson of Love & Light. Hailing from the west-coast desert region of the Reno/Tahoe basin the duo embodies their hometowns with the west-coast dub/crunk/glitch sound that they completely make their own. Their mid-tempo bass rhythm is comprised of funky bass lines layered below melodic synths and complex builds that don’t drop into the widely overused wobble wobble wobble that some of us might have heard a little too much of these days. As a refreshing testament to the down-to-earth spirit that is beginning to become rare with artists in a genre that is growing exponentially more popular with each passing day, Love & Light came through the IMFmag Ultra residence just under two miles from Bayfront Park and talked poolside with us about their first time at Ultra, what us fans can expect from them in the upcoming months, and much more. Make sure to check out their Soundcloud page here as well as even more free tracks on their website.. Hit the jump to check out a few photos!

Adventure Club Takes Over The Mid Chicago (Photos)

Last Friday night the Canadian-based duo Adventure Club made their way to Chicago for what I believe is their first show in the Windy City. They were joined by openers DJ Solo and M Machine but apparently there was a little snafu with the M. We previously M Machine open up for Paper Diamond a month or two ago and it was a duo, however, at The Mid we were given only one member of the Machine. After we asked why one of them was missing the had this to say: “technically there were TWO missing…” – There you have it folks.

Regardless, The Mid was packed with a crowd that I would say isn’t the norm and the IMF crew was enjoying every second of it. Everywhere you turned someone was rocking a spirit hood, dreaded guys were enjoying the fine taste of PBR and everyone was enjoying the amazing dub courtesy of Adventure Club. I would love to see more crowds and nights like this at The Mid personally, and I’m sure we will. Adventure Club is slowly starting to take over the EDM scene and mark my words, they will be big players before you know it. Enough rambling, check out the photo-goodness after the jump. Shouts to React Presents!
