Freak n’ Chic’s Finest, Dyed Soundorom will headline a day party, from 4 pm – 12 am, at Chicago’s legendary Green Dolphin Street, with Spectral Sound artist Kate Simko, on July 10, 2010. The event is hosted by the combined forces of 2; Red Belts, VOLATL Events, and Swing Swift. Pre-Sale tickets can be purchased via www.clubtix.net.

Dyed Soundorom comes from the Paris underground, where he made his entrance to the party scene as an event promoter and especially gifted DJ and producer. From the cutting edge dancefloors of Batofar and the Rex Club in Paris, his DJ career has gone global. In recent months Dyed has racked up an eye-watering number of air-miles and brought his deft touch to the hottest parties on the planet, including Berlin’s Panoramabar, to Warehouse 702 in Tokyo, Fabric London, Goa in Roma, NYC Blk market and Ushuaia beach, the most talked-about party of Ibiza 2009. His production talent caught the attention of Freak n’ Chic label boss Dan Ghenacia, which led to Dyed doing remixes for the label’s compilation ‘Rendez Vous 01’. Since then Dyed has released 12”s and EPs on labels including Spectral Sound, Freak n’Chic, Crosstown Rebels, Adult Only, Supplement Facts, Safari electronique and Tsuba Records, and added his remix skills to projects including ‘Eyelights’ and the ‘Tsuba Remixes Vol 3’ compilation along with Pier Bucci, Daniel Stefanik and D’Julz.


Also playing the special day-time event is Ghostly/Spectral Sound recording artist Kate Simko, who is certainly a treasure of Chicago’s electronic music community. Propulsive, groovy and hypnotic, Kate’s music occupies the space between techno and house with an international voice that sets it apart. In 2008, Kate’s Spectral EP She Said was critically acclaimed worldwide and topped Beatport charts for weeks. Her brilliant releases can be heard in the sets of some of the world’s biggest DJs. She has played London’s Fabric, Berlin’s Berghain, the famed Sunday School for Degenerates party in New York, Winter Music Conference in Miami, Detroit’s Movement Festival, Montreal’s Mutek festival, Seattle’s Decibel festival and more.

Dino G has finds himself playing at some of the world’s finest clubs, touring from Ibiza to Miami to LA and back. His high-profile gigs in Chicago and his position as Talent Buyer for Spybar have increased his visibility throughout North America. Dino G and partner Garrett B are, collectively, 2 Red Belts. They will launch their much anticipated tech-house label this fall. Having previously hosted a series of wildly successful WMC events, 2 Red Belts recently treated Chicago partiers to an amazing underground event featuring Lee Curtiss and Matt Tolfrey.

Funk Shui, aka Brandon Burke, comes to Chicago via Detroit and embodies a musical philosophy adhering to rules that govern a funky sound arrangement and orientation in relation to patterns of yin and yang and the flow of energy. His events in Chicago, and most recently his “Floating Frequencies” boat party, during Movement 2010, have established him as an up and coming force in the Midwest dance music scene.

Most recently, VOLATL launched the (re)Chicago series with Mazi and Kate Simko and produced “Something in the Sky,” a conceptual event with Jeff Mills and Mike Banks, in Detroit. Swing Swift is the driving force behind Chicago’s acclaimed Boom Boom Room and is renowned for the cultivation of house music events in Chicago.
