Chicago back in the house! Andrew Emil & Fortune bless the decks and the red light swings…

Andrew Emil (Change Request – Chicago): Credited with over 250+ recordings, Andrew Emil is a preeminent artist of Chicago’s 3rd wave. One of the earlier innovators of the “Jackin House” genre under the Broadway & Wilson moniker with Jeff Bloom, Andrew is never content to stay in one place or style of musical thought for very long. He is the only recording artist to do production work simultaneously for Derrick Carter’s Classic Music Company, Mark Farina’s Great Lakes Audio, Gene Farris’ Farris Wheel Recordings, and four-time GRAMMY nominee Steve “Silk” Hurley’s S&S Records.

Fortune (Apart – Chicago): A dedicated force in the midwest music industry, with over 20 years DJing, coordinating electronic music events, promoting, talent buying, mentoring, and most recently launching an agency under her company, Apart. Fortune is widely recognized and respected as a key player through out the region. A testament to her range, she’s been booked as direct support for a diverse array of top tier artists, notably Adam X, Audiojack, Claude VonStroke, Colette, Cassy, Catz & Dogz, Danny Daze, Derrick Carter, Gaiser, Gene Farris, Green Velvet, Honey Dijon, J.Phlip, Joey Beltram, Justin Martin, Kate Simko, Kaskade, Kenny Glasgow, Kid Sister, KiNK, Kool Keith, Lahrs Behernroth, LP Giobbi, Pan Pot, Superjane, Will Clarke.

When the ’09 recession shut down Milwaukee music, Fortune shifted focus to her promotions company, producing non-stop events, determined to keep house and techno present. The only area woman to make independent electronic music promotions a full time profession, she experienced many skewed industry dynamics, so created the Apart internship to mentor and learn from young people entering the music realm; produced panels and workshops to foster visibility and equity; transitioned Apart artists from collective to an agency representing 14 diversely talented djs/producers; and is a vocal advocate for increased safety, equity and belonging in the music space.
Fortune’s mission: Facilitate well being through music, whether as a dj, promoter, mentor or agent.
