FRIDAY NIGHT
DJ SPOTLIGHT - Disco Illusion (Chicago)
Wow, the weekender kicks off TOMMORROW, and we are down to our final DJ Spotlight. We are happy to have the opportunity to partner up with the fine folks at Disco Illusion to host our Kick Off party at Punch House tomorrow. These guys are holding it down in Chicago on the modern soul/boogie tip ... really right up our alley.
Disco Illusion is a weekly party @ Smart Bar w/ residents Tone B. Nimble (All Natural/Al-Tone Edits) Darryn Jones (Fatty Fatty Phonographics) & Solson (A Love Supreme/Disco Illusion) who all have a passion for vinyl. Their weekly party focuses on rare groove, afro, funk, modern soul, gospel, boogie & disco! Every week they bring in a local guest & at end of the month bringing in a guest from out of town!
Past guests have included STUSA guest Andy Noble (Lotus Land)and tonight will host STUSA guest, David Haffner (Friends Of Sound), & next month from NYC's Love On The Run ( Secret Rendezvous) fresh off the boat from the You're A Melody party @ Plastic People in London w/ Floating Points & Red Greg!
We are looking forward to partying with these folks, and all of our guests tomorrow night at Punch House. In the meantime, here is a mix the fellas put together for the event.

The FUN starts Thursday, March 27 - The official STUSA Kick Off Party hosted by locals Disco Illusion + STUSA guests!!
Artwork by Todd Westendorp & Gary Abugan (p) & (c) Invisible City Editions ICE-004 For many this is the ultimate Disco Illusion; a record that should have been epoch making in its day, something that would have been a staple for David Mancuso, Larry Levan & Ron Hardy had it ever gotten distribution when it was originally released 34 years ago. Somehow time passed it by and it was only re-discovered in a warehouse in Trinidad last year. Since then it has been gaining momentum fast, with DJ support from Moodymann, MCDE, Floating Points & Kon, as well as original copies selling for four-digit sums. Part of the illusion is in the structure of the record. The A-side begins with a beautiful hazy disco song, but suddenly an Egyptian sounding bridge turns things inside out and the song opens up into stripped back proto-house jam complete with bubbling Sun Ra synths and Black Ark tape delay action. Then there’s the b-side, which sounds like Bob James after he had a taste of callaloo, with deep electronics and a mind-melting steel pan solo.
