In pursuit of our perpetual need to subvert the ordinary forms of dance culture, we at Hugo Ball present to you an evening of daredevil selectors’ antics. On this evening, we shall bear witness to a performance that returns us to the traditions of warehouse parties while continuing to push the boundaries outward. Two pairs of selectors will mix alongside each other with the aid of two mixers and four turntables. We will take the experimental nature of the performance to new ground with the addition of synths, effects and drum machines. Special guests Specter and Chicago Skyway - long time comrades that are among Chicago's most skilled mixers and music makers - shall perform together, as will Hugo Ball founders Justin Long and Nathan Drew Larsen.
“Honor thy error as a hidden intention.” - Brian Eno
Manifesto:
We believe that art is highest when it is revolutionary! Hugo Ball djs are experimentalists, unrestrained by fashion and form, who play a wild a mix of diverse music recontextualized in the tradition of Chicago's finest expressive turntablists. We believe that the pure club experience is about freedom of personal expression, both in the booth and on the floor. Hugo Ball dancers are not image driven consumers of life-style, but kinetic artists and joyous servants to the mother beat! We believe that dance music like all art is political. Hugo Ball gives shelter from the corrupt priorities of the masses where the enlightened are free to revel - all are welcome, we are not a boutique culture! Chicago is home to some of the world’s finest unassisted vinyl djs, edit maestros and machine musicians. We believe that dance music is Chicago's roots music and that it is our duty to shine a light on the culture. Hugo Ball cares not for the carpetbaggers, sanitizers and cultural dilettantes!
