NewCity

Throughout the half decade plus of its existence, the illmeasures crew has built a steady local following via their infamous Lake Street loft parties and regular club gigs around the city. Featuring a diverse line-up of equally talented deck technicians, the illmeasures gang can range in style from downtempo, golden age hip-hop, broken beat and funky house (Justin Reed and Striz) to cutting-edge minimal techno and tech house (Brad Miner). Regardless of which illmeasures cast members are on tap for any given night at their various residencies, purveyors of the nightlife are guaranteed a diverse catalog of sounds delivered from an experienced group of electronic music experts. In short, regardless of one’s personal electronic music leanings, a night out with illmeasures is not only bound to have a bit of something cooked up for everyone, but to have it done right.
