Zeds Dead Announce “Space Oddity” New Years Eve Show In Chicago + New Mix

Zeds-Dead-Space-Oddity-Chicago
 
 
With summer moving farther and farther into distant memory, and fall tours coming to a close, what else could get us more excited than a massive New Years announcement?  An intergalactic party will be descending on the Midwest on December 31st when TSIS favorites Zeds Dead bring the largest NYE theme party “SPACE ODDITY” to Chicago’s Aragon Ballroom.  Planning to bring in 2015 with a little crazy weirdness the Toronto duo will be dressed up in Space Oddity form and encourage everyone in attendance to dress up too, promising a cash prize for the most creative costume and much more!
To celebrate New Year’s Eve Space Oddity, Zeds Dead put together an exclusive MiniMix today for us to premiere. Directly from Zeds Dead: “This is the most spaced out mix you’ll ever bear witness to! As you’ll see and hear in the tracklist, each song is dedicated to some aspect of the great vastness of chaos that is our universe. Enjoy!”
Check out the mix below and get your tickets for the biggest and best NYE party in the Midwest before they’re gone!

Kanye West Homecoming at AAHH! FEST 2014 in Chicago!

kanye-west-at-ahhfest-by-joshua-mellin-2
The first annual AAHH! Fest took place Sunday in Chicago. Curated by Common, the lineup featured comedian Dave Chappelle, rappers Jay Electroncia, Lupe Fiasco, De La Soul, and, in what was the worst kept secret, Kanye West as the secret surprise guest. (Kanye’s charity Donda House was one of the presenting sponsors.)
Kanye ripped through a 16-song set comprised of “Jesus Walks”, “Power”, “Touch the Sky”, “All of the Lights”, and hometown anthem “Homecoming”, among many of his other greatest hits. For his performance of “Clique”, he brought out Common, Jay Electronica, and Vince Staples. For the final song, he teamed with Common to perform their collaborative track, “Get Em High”.

“We’ve always looked to the moon with a great fascination and wonder. Its phases represent a cycle of renewal and a guiding light through darkness. The moon exerts a powerful pull on both the ocean tides and on our human emotions. As we began to create our festival, we thought, what better way to express the uplifting power of music and its relationship with nature than by naming it Phases of the Moon!”
