Friday June 19th, 2009 EmptyBottle, Meiotic, & ApSerps present "JacksonLive" PA Showcase and CEMAC Fundraiser with ATOMLY, BRAD MINER, RADIUS + QUADRATIC We hope you can join us for the next ambitiously programmed edition of JACKSON! First, we're excited to present the first in the "JacksonLive" event series on June 19th, 2009. This series of events will feature gifted artists from a greater spectrum of electronic music genre, bringing the live performance interpretation of their electronic compositions to an enthusiastically receptive audience. We've assembled four unique live electronic performers with strong Chicago ties, including BRAD MINER, QUADRATIC, RADIUS, and a very special guest from NYC, Chicago ex-pat & old friend ATOMLY. Performers will all arrive early to soundcheck at the venue, and a cocktail reception will be held from 9-10 pm, at which time, the performance order will be randomly selected and announced. Performances will each last for approximately 50-55 minutes.each bringing their own unique interpretations of musicality and electronic performance to the Jackson stage! For full artist and event details, click here for the FACEBOOK event page. Secondly, we are also delighted to be presenting this as a benefit for a non profit cause that we hold very near and dear to us: The Chicago Electronic Music and Arts Coalition, also known as CEMAC. CEMAC is the Chicago Electronic Music and Arts Coalition, the main goal of which is to educate the general public and fellow listeners about Chicago's role in the influence, progression and evolution of electronic and modern music and art. The primary function for CEMAC is to serve as the planning body of a festival celebrating electronic music and art from a Chicago perspective. Proceeds from this event will benefit CEMAC in its mission to bring our city the festival it deserves. For more information about CEMAC, visit: http://www.chicagoemac.org Cover:$7 Advance tix available at TICKETWEB Doors @ 9PM Sonotheque: 1444 W.

Friday July 17th, 2009 EmptyBottle, Meiotic, ApSerps, CGP, & Frank151 present: JACKSON Post-Pitchfork Edition featuring ADULT. with DJ JIM MAGAS, BEAU WANZER, & JORDAN Z Ok, so the July edition of Jackson is a little late on the announcement side. With that said, we think that the saying "good things come to those who wait" rings true here. :-) With this one happening to coincide with the first day of Pitchfork festivities, the team behind the JACKSON series is floored to present a night that's sure to satisfy your need for paranoid electronics. Ersatz Audio/Thrill Jockey artists, the Detroit-based electro punk stalwarts ADULT. take to the decks for an exclusive dj set for JACKSON. Their signature integration of drum machines & analog synths with electronic/punk elements has defied categorization, and these undefinable points of influence are recalled whenever they tear through their thoroughly entertaining dj sets! Also just added to the bill is a veritable Weekend Records & Soap throwback party featuring Chicago mainstays DJ JIM MAGAS, BEAU WANZER & JORDAN Z. in what is sure to be a memorable night on the Sonotheque soundsystem! Cover: $12 / Reduced admission with Pitchfork ticket stub! Advance tix available at TICKETWEB Doors @ 9PM Sonotheque: 1444 W.
