Through its innovative bookings, Ramp Chicago is establishing itself as one of the city’s most indispensable techno promoters. For its monthly event at Debonair, Ramp has booked Oliver Hacke, a young and revered techno producer and DJ from Düsseldorf who has not performed in Chicago for several years. Oliver Hacke has released dozens of tracks on seminal labels such as Traum and Trapez and has remixed artists such as Dominik Eulberg, Akufen and Alex Under, among others. Expect Hacke’s DJ set to cover a wide spectrum of techno from minimal and experimental to more straightforward and danceable tracks with the occasional house cut thrown in. Opening for Oliver Hacke is Ramp’s resident DJ Liz Revision. This jane-of-all-trades runs several Web sites and blogs dedicated to electronic music and innovative technology, has designed her own line of jewelry created out of electronic components, runs the online store that sells her “geek-chic” accessories and promotes two different techno-oriented nights in the city.
