Despite last year’s closing of global-music venue Hot House, Chicago’s eastern-loving club patrons have had reason to celebrate of late. In addition to the strong offerings of the Bombay Beatbox crew, DJ Jimmy Singh’s Bhangratheque nights have found soil to grow at venues like Smart Bar and Sonotheque—where tonight he’s joined by fellow worldly music impresario DJ RedLox. RedLox is no stranger to any global music scene, with his long-running reggae nights at Lava, Darkroom and various other guest spots that highlight his affinity for blending globally disparaging sounds into a cohesive and danceable rhythm. Tonight, expect an interesting juxtaposition of old world and new as the expertly mixed sounds of Punjabi roots, hip-hop, reggae and house fill Sonotheque’s sleek interior. (Duke Shin)
