Brkn leading the charge at teknoir is the kind of understated booking that can transform a quiet Sunday into something memorable. The event, hosted at TBA, feels purpose-built for those who appreciate tech house with a sharp edge. Joining BRKN are Pat Fee, Samantha Rad, and Amy Unland, rounding out a lineup that promises groove-heavy energy without the need for over-the-top theatrics. If you’re looking to lose yourself in the rhythm, this is the night’s centerpiece.
Meanwhile, over at smartbar, Queen! feat. Derrick Carter - Michael Serafini - Mark Grusane is delivering a masterclass in house music heritage. With Derrick Carter on the bill alongside Michael Serafini and Mark Grusane, the Queen! weekly series remains a reliable anchor for Chicago’s nightlife. Deep grooves and soulful selections are the order of the evening here, and the intimate, low-lit vibe of smartbar ensures the communal energy that’s made this venue a cornerstone of the city’s electronic scene.
For something entirely different, etc radio marks a quieter corner of the night. Featuring a solo set from the ever-intriguing M50, this event leans into ambient and acid territory, offering a more introspective escape. Also at TBA, it’s a chance to hear sounds that stretch the boundaries of electronic music, perfect for those seeking something experimental to wind down the weekend.
It’s a pared-back Sunday in Chicago, but the quality outweighs the quantity this time. Whether you’re in the mood for high-energy tech house, classic Chicago grooves, or a leftfield sonic exploration, there’s a pocket of sound for you. The full lineup for Chicago tomorrow is at all Chicago events.
