September means its Virgo and Libra szn. Sometimes you're born right on the cusp of both and get to be double trouble your whole life! This installment of Coterie is an extra special one, with birthday celebrations included to really level up the vibe. The one like Noize Maka/Duke/Courtney turns 40! Putting it off as long as she possibly could, this function is truly a celebration of the the Indy scene and the amazing people she's met along the way since joining it almost 10 years ago!
The night couldn't even happen without one very special DJ finally making his Coterie debut. Antik One has held Courtney captive for 10 years and influenced her to become the elitest Junglist you see before you today. This is all his fault. But how could she resist when he plays such mesmerizing sets each and every time he graces the stage?!?! From their first date swooning to the groove of LTJ Bukem, to working hard to bring their heroes to Indy, time flies when you're committed to dancing your way through life together Expect the unexpected from him on this one. Could start Microhouse, could end Ragga Jungle. Only way to find out is to be there!
Many years ago, in a dark basement in downtown Indy, the NAPDNB crew discovered a young lad cuttin' it up on vinyl like a seasoned pro and we knew we had to befriend him and support his journey in dance music. Sweater Disco has proven himself to be one of the purest gems of the scene and you are ALL blessed to get to see him again for a Coterie set. We say he's playing House, but really, the birthday girl is hoping he brings the weirdest , most ravey tunes he can find and really set the bar for how an underground "house" set should sound! From his personal production to the sick pieces he's been fortunate to remix and master, he always has his ears tuned for the cleanest and most interesting computer sounds he can make. If you're not already a massive fan, you will soon be after this performance!
Speaking of plucking people out of dark places, we also found Shyrii in the dark barn of Electric Beanfield last year when she captured our hearts with her heady AF dubstep set. She's a natural on the decks and is gonna flex out on some DNB for the birthday girl! She laid it down hard for the SubSonic crew for her birthday a couple months back, so THIS birthday girl HAS to have it too Ol girl likes it dark and loaded with vibes so get ready for a adventure in genre bending!
Last and CERTAINLY not least, we are pleased to bring our long lost (to Chicago) friend, CHACHI down to help celebrate the passing of time. From eating tacos in the Indiana City Brew parking lot, long nights of dank beer drinking at Tomlinson Tap Room, and getting tossed outta The Ship for things they didn't even do (FOR REAL), Chachi has been a true friend, dance partner and motivator over the years! Her techno shows at the Jukebox and Dunaways showed Courtney the light about how techno COULD be and that a bangin' system was a minimum requirement. Happy to have her back to make it a crazy good time at Black Circle!! Her sets will take you on a journey straight into another dimension, with a psychedelic pulse running though all the twists and turns!
Mark your calendars and prepare for the greatest birthday extravaganza this side of the Mississippi! See you on the dance floor!!
