Nathan G, Justin Long, Tortured Soul & Mark Farina…

Thursday night at our weekly residency URBAN’S HOUSE we were treated to not one but two headliners: Justin Long and a last minute House music superstar all the way from Melbourne Australia: Nathan G! I remember loving his song “88 Keys to Love” out on Salted Music, and now he’s doing stuff for Jeff Craven’s Large Music.

Saturday night we went to check out our friends, the House music band Tortured Soul over at the Double Door. Afterwards we went over to Smartbar to see the always endearing Mark Farina. The DJ booth was ridiculously crowded, and people were going nuts in there.

Sunday night it was my girl Leean’s birthday party at Tiny Lounge and I got to spin some nice laid back, downtempo, non-House stuff for a change. Joining me were Itch 13, Steve Melvage and Sean Hernandez. When that set was done we headed over once again to Smartbar to check out JKriv from Tortured Soul’s disco set.

Check out Nathan G here in this short little vid:

Mark Farina is awesome :)

This past Sunday 5 Mag’s March cover story Mark Farina came back to Chicago to headline Green Dolphin’s big 4th of July party. As always he was sweet, charming with the cutest dance moves I’ve ever seen. The party was great fun even though it was boiling hot in all 3 rooms. Here is a super short video of him while he was here. I tried to cut out as much of the footage of the 3 horrible girl dancers in the front of the stage.

Drugged, Robbed and Other Fun Weekend Stuff

Friday night after hanging out at a friend’s house, a drink that we thought was just a drink left us up, hallucinating and dealing with extreme body temperature changes. I was livid. Who would do such a thing? So I started to get cranky (“I’m Hot! Cold! Hot! Cold! GET OFF OF ME!!!), while poor Rees proceeded to call his boys, stare out my 30th story window and look at the pretty cars. My carpet distracted me. My muscles were tense and no matter how much I prayed… I couldn’t go to sleep. Crap. Needless to say, Saturday was a nightmare waiting for whatever evil chemical there was in our bodies to flush out.

Saturday night we had to go to Smart Bar for Mark Farina, as he was interviewed in this month’s issue. Mark is awesome, so intense and into his sets… his crowd, I’m not such a big fan of. Given my current physical and psychological state, large masses of people that are jumping and sweaty, bumping into you and spilling their drinks, doing their e-dance… not fun for unhappy Czarina.

Then Sunday night after having 3 friends over, My iPhone is stolen along with my gold credit cards. Wonderful. Everyone is searched, interrogated but to no avail. As of 2 years ago I’ve stopped having big crowds at my house, I am careful now. Only 3 people at my house. And someone went into my purse and took my shit.
