Friday night, local electronic music promoter Meiotic is celebrating its 3rd anniversary with a party at Sound-Bar. Headlining the night will be microhouse master Akufen and fellow glitchy techno-file John Tejada. While he's been cutting 12" records for the likes of Perlon and Force Inc. since 1999, this will actually be Akufen's live debut in Chicago. Tejada is a staple of the Plug Research label and, while based in L.A., is frequently grouped in with the Detroit techno scene.
Speaking of the 'D,' also on the bill is SV4 vs. Todd Osbourne, a tag-team performance from two artists on Ann Arbor's Ghostly International label. In fact, not only is SV4 (aka Sam Valenti) a member of the Ghostly roster, he is actually the founder and leader of the indie-electronic stalwart.
Party starts at 9pm with members of the Meiotic crew opening the night on the decks. Cover is $15 at the door, though they "highly recommend" securing tickets ahead of time. Not only will you save yourself some hastle at the door, (Sound-Bar is notorious for its long lines to get in) you'll also save yourself a few bucks in the process. However, even if there is a bit of a wait, you will get your money's worth once inside...as the party lasts to 4a.
Sound-Bar is located downtown at 226 W. Ontario, as you may have guessed, this is a 21+ show
