For years the epicenter of Chicago’s underground party scene was on one block of Lake Street. Revolutionary Music’s Safe House was on the north side of the street and the illmeasures loft was on the south side. DJs, performers and party people from all over the world found their way to the now legendary illicit parties. Revolutionary Music and illmeasures have joined forces as the Lake Street Collective to bring that vibe back to venues around Chicago. On August 7th, 2009 we bring it to Chicago’s Darkroom (2210 W. Chicago Ave.).

The Bicycle Film Festival celebrates the bicycle in all forms and styles.
