Shmoo

September 27th @ Bounce (vinyl): From the silk roads of yore to the modern industrial shipping lanes on the high seas, Shmoo's sound is universal sonic commerce for the contemporary ear lobe. A driving force in the Chicago House scene for over two decades, Shmoo is known for his acclaimed You Are Here series with Derrick Carter at the legendary Spybar and his groundbreaking studio work alongside Gramaphone’s Garrett David. He has also been frequently tapped for both direct support and closing sets at Smartbar, while during the early years of the club’s weekly Queen! party, he was a go-to choice to warm up the room. Shmoo is equally at home on the festival stage, with appearances at North Coast Music Festival, Spring Awakening, and House of Sol. Having previously held residencies at Berlin Nightclub, Copa Lounge, East Room, Electric Hotel, Estate, and the infamous Tanto’s afterhours, Shmoo has left his mark on dance floors across the city. His debut EP on the iconic Love Notes From Brooklyn label sold out worldwide and earned support from Honey Dijon on BBC Radio 1. During the global club shutdown, Shmoo helped to co-launch SHFFT, a cutting-edge multimedia project that kept the underground spirit alive. He has also been welcomed as a featured guest on DJ Heather's CHI FI SHOW Twitch livestream. Recognized as one of only six DJs honoured by the City of Chicago’s Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events for excellence in House music production
