Diplo & Switch @ Metro, Chicago

d

On Saturday, September 15th, there is a show of all shows to attend. If you are in Chicago and care about electronic music even in the slightest, you have nowhere else to go except for The Metro, because two world renowned DJs are in town; Diplo and Switch.

I’m not sure who I am more excited for- Diplo is responsible for some of the hottest remixes that I can think of, and Switch is one of the most brilliant producers in the planet, that “Golden Skans” remix is hot. Who headlines? … Who cares! I’m so stoked for this one, I’ve been planning it for 3 weeks now. It’d take a natural disaster for me to miss these guys.

In case you haven’t heard of them, or just aren’t as enthusiastic about their music, here’s a few songs to help change your mind and get your asses dancin’.

Black Ghosts – Face (Switch Remix)

Spank Rock – Bump (Switch Remix)

Klaxons – Golden Skans (Switch Remix)

Justin Timberlake – My Love (Diplo Remix)

Daft Punk – Work is Never Over (Diplo Remix)
