Sonotheque turns six
It’s been six years since DJ Joe Bryl and restauranteurs Terry Alexander (of Mia Francesca and Mod) and Donnie Madia (of Blackbird) founded Chicago sound-lounge Sonotheque, and, big shock: They're throwing themselves a big anniversary party for the occasion. At 9 p.m. on Dec. 17, Bryl and DJ Eric Williams will spin throughout the night, mixing hip-hop, afro-beat, funk, and, yes, even nu-jazz on the club’s formidable Funktion One sound system. But Sonotheque also wants to give back—that's why the first 200 guests to this party will receive a free CD. Better yet, RSVP ahead of time on the lounge's website to forgo the $5 cover and get in for free, if you can get over the fact that Sonotheque is actually giving away free CDs.
