Preview: Lady D, Gabriel Palomo/Lava

RECOMMENDED LadyD

The soulful, dance-floor-aimed style of funky house DJ Lady D meets the industrial-minded techno prowess of Gabriel Palomo as Detox embraces the autumnal season. Palomo is no slouch behind the decks, co-founding the sorely-missed 773 techno events and performing/producing as one-third of Kill Memory Crash (Ghostly International). Lady D helms the reborn Chicago house imprint D’lectable and regularly steals the show, most recently dropping science on Bruno Pronsato fans at Sonotheque. DEKKO adds his blend of driving tech-house to the menu, supported by resident DJ Droopy. You’ve waited all month for the free, fourth-Sunday get-down that invites you to “get the weekend out of your system.” (John Alex Colon)

Lady D, Gabriel Palomo and more perform September 27 at Lava, 1270 N. Milwaukee, at 9pm.
