Saturday Sept. 27th
6:30PM - 7:30PM

952 W 18th St, Chicago, IL 60608

For those of us moved by the heeded and unheeded call for ‘CHANGE BY SONIC REVOLUTION’, decades later, there remain many open questions about what kind of politics we make through our music, through midwestern dance music culture. 

Here is a space for interested people in the culture to talk, to ask questions, from the goal of organizing ourselves, becoming more autonomous, more rebellious, and in greater solidarity. What do we do about the ever expanding role of capital in our music cultures?  How do we confront dance music’s complicity in genocide and offer alternate visions?  How do we activate a scene as a “prepolitical formation”, put into play our natural ability to fundraise, to gather people into a space, to create and curate platforms, communicate with robust hyperlocal networks, and use our music and our dance not just for escape but as an essential part of a larger culture of confrontation with the capitalist hydra?

All these and more will be topics on the table at this meeting.  Bring yourself, a friend, and your word.
