A celebration of the new sound that emerged from the underground clubs of Chicago’s South Side, which sparked a global movement of joy, freedom and radical togetherness.
Just as disco was collapsing amidst a fiery backlash, young Chicagoan Vince Lawrence embarked on a journey that would change music history. From his father’s record store to the underground clubs of the South Side, Vince and a group of visionary friends experimented with drum machines and synthesizers, crafting a revolutionary new sound: house music. Elegance Bratton’s joyous film is an electrifying tribute to the pioneers who turned a local scene into a worldwide phenomenon. With rare archival footage and vibrant interviews, the film chronicles how house music transcended genre trappings to become a movement of liberation, unity and pure, undiluted bliss.
After the film, don’t let the night end, the room will turn into a chill out space created by Polymathic with a stunning VJ set of generative visuals and real-time effects from DataRav3, transforming the venue into a living digital canvas. Next door the Leap & Dance Party kicks off with live DJ sets inspired by the film, weaving in house grooves to carry you through until late.
Join us for an immersive blend of cinema, cutting-edge visuals and dancefloor energy—an unmissable one-night celebration of club culture’s power to inspire, unite and heal.
Presented in collaboration with Polymathic and Leap and Dance.
