Unless you watch RTS.fm’s Chicago broadcasts fairly frequently, you may not have heard of Gera. He’s an avid crate-digger (often spotted at Gramaphone), an excellent sound technician, and a solid DJ. His appearances at clubs are few, but he’ll be playing Heartbeats at Morseland this Wednesday to celebrate his birthday alongside local techno powerhouse Lokua. It promises to be quite the party; feel free to invite yourself, details here. Whether you join us for cake or not, you can hear him live in the studio at 10pm; tune in!

When Andrew Solomon told me that he’d only been djing for less than three years, I was completely shocked; the depth of his musical tastes and his skill on the decks is something you’d usually only see in a well-seasoned veteran. He appeared on my WNUR show last summer, and we’re way overdue for hearing him on the radio again. Tune in tonight!

Joining me in the studio tonight is cpkay. Chris brings in a talented stream of guests to his residency at Murasaki, and he’s just launched a new Chicago-based label, cpkay records, with a debut ep from one of Chicago’s best techno talents, Lokua, which I can’t recommend enough. I’m sure we’ll hear it in his set tonight; tune in at 10 to find out.

She got her start in the ’90s rave scene, worked with Chicago house luminaries Felix Da Housecat, Angel Alanis, and Pierre; had a long stint at label Dust Traxx, and has produced as part of Noise Floor Crew, in many collaborations, and her own solo work–most recently with new Chicago startup label Stripped & Chewed. The Black Madonna (previously known as Lady Foursquare) has been all over the Midwest music scene, lending her ear to everything from electro to techno to house and disco. Tonight, she has assured me that she will “get weird”, so I’m really excited to hear the records she brings. Join us at 10pm!

I’ve known Meg since before she was DJ Switch Killa, and she’s always had a love for music; it was certainly no surprise when she picked up her records and started mixing. She’s still flying under the radar for most of the local dance music scene, but I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before that changes… tune in at 10 to catch her set!
