What’s up with everyone being from Chicago nowadays? They have Kanye, Twista, Do Or Die, Lupe Fiasco… R. Kelly, and - okay, I admit, I can’t really name anyone else. Still, they have their own thing going on - maybe not compared to New York, L.A., and the South, but they definitely have a solid music scene. Even non-mainstream artists like The Cool Kids and Kid Sister get their fair share of shine, so it’s only fair we pay homage to the mid-west’s party rockers. These are the dudes you’d probably be lucky enough to find behind the decks if you were down there getting faded, so don’t act like you don’t appreciate it and download some of their mixes below.
Realistically, if you haven’t heard of Flosstradamus, you’re kind of living under a rock. To be honest, I actually almost didn’t want to post this because everyone has already heard of them. Whatever though, I figured the rest of these people aren’t as well known, so here it is:
Flosstradamus: You’ve probably heard of them, the pic above (with J2K’s “Kid Sister”) is from the cover of Urb, they do mixes for Vice Magazine, what else do you need to know?
Downloads: Vice Records Mix (Original), The 3-Peat Mix.
Million $ Mano: Dude isn’t on the top friends section of Flosstradamus’ myspace page, so I’m assuming Mano makes up the rest of the - let’s just call it dance music, scene down in chi-town.
Downloads: Been There Done That Mixtape: Part 1 & Part 2, and check his myspace out.
Honorable Mentions: (but not actually DJ’s)
He Say, She Say: “Drea and Mano met in 2004 when Drea came to Chicago for school. She played a song for Mano one day and he told her she was making a wrong career move.” The rest is history.
Downloads: Check out their myspace.
Vyle: I don’t know much about him but it looks like I overlooked him for that post I made about dudes that do similar music.
