What up with NCMF?

Lineup is usually out by now, and they teased it was coming soon like a month ago. Starting to get worried...

Sexually assaulted

Last night I was assaulted at Radius. It’s fucked up because I wore the cutest outfit I could find and was so excited about seeing levity. I went on my boyfriend’s shoulders, because yes. I’m literally only 4’9”. Behind me, I started to feel somebody touching my purse, which was resting on my leg. I immediately moved my purse as I thought somebody was trying to steal from Me. I was wrong. The man then started to touch my leg and go up my inner thigh. Remind you, I was on top of my boyfriend’s shoulders. I shoved his hand away and he immediately put it back. I told my boyfriend I wanted down asap. And we moved to a different area. I did end up having fun, but that sure made me feel ick.

Watch out for whoever was wearing that white fluffy hat. SMH

Is it safe to assume Radius will be closed for a while?

I’ve been looking forward to Gareth Emery’s lsr/city on March 8 for months but can’t imagine the building won’t be closed for months after last night, or that it would even be safe to go if it were open.

Visiting Chicago, Looking for places to listen to EDM and dance. Can't get into bars though.

Anyone know of some good edm/DJ spots to go to that you don't have to be 21 to go to? I'm visiting Chicago, but I'm 19 and don't have a fake ID so bars aren'r really an option. I like to dance my ass off and move around.

Chicago Warehouse Recs

I was raised in the NYC underground scene. Live in LA now and love the LA underground for what it is. Dvs1 Wall of sound was my last party. I am trying to get a good sense of the Chicago warehouse scene since I know it’s where it all originated. I’m going to be in Chicago from Feb 6th to the 18th. I love techno and house. Looking to check out dj shufflemaster on the 15th. Are there any other recommendations or musts you have for me to get a great sense of the Chicago warehouse/club scene ? Any specific collectives / promoters I should be following ?

Do any artists discourage taking videos and using your phone during their set?

Curious if you've seen any artists that ask attendees to put their phones away. In my opinion, that'd make for a much better experience.

We wanna be in a crowd where people actually boogie 🕺💃🪩
