Here is a funny mix I did that’s released on “Pirate Party Submissions” on subVariant.

Liz Revision: “OK What the FUCK, Liz?”

[Pirate Party] was an invitation for local artists to hand in the work they wanted to share, for free, on the subVariant site, and be promoted and featured in the local press, music blogs, social networks and the like. Sort of like The Pirate Bay, but totally legal since everyone who handed in music has the right to distibute the works (yes, there is a mighty huge .torrent link at the bottom too…please seed!) (And please note the Creative Commons distribution below it…we may all distribute at will but if you want to commercially use or modify any of these works you gotta contact the artist in question).

Secondly, it’s completely non-curated. Unlike a traditional record label that screens for quality, taste, appropriateness and style, we did nothing of the sort. We’re just helping everyone “pirate” interesting electronic music + art within a local community and also globally through the powr of thar intartr0nz YARR.

Audio Emissions, Not Auto Emissions
Because I-GO cars have replaced 2,000 private cars and helped our members drive less, there is less pollution and greenhouse gas emitted in Chicago. We have eliminated 7,823 metric tons of CO2 since 2004, the equivalent of not driving 22 million miles!To continue our dedication to sustainable living, I-GO will make this event completely carbon neutral. We are working to mitigate the environmental impact of our concert by reducing carbon emissions at the event and acquiring carbon offsets. Carbon offsets raise awareness of climate change and neutralize the carbon footprint not addressed through planned emissions reductions, emissions-free electricity, or other conservation mechanisms. Holding a Neutral Event is another step towards taking responsibility for climate change and making a difference.

This was the scene at around 3am at Heaven Gallery on February 12 during Logan Bay’s set. It was pretty wild in case it’s not obvious from the photo.
