Annalyze, Keith MacKenzie, Team Bayside High, Kid Color, and Just Desserts at Lincoln Hall
Former Central Floridian DJ Keith MacKenzie reverse-migrated to the northern Chicago suburbs with a pair of oversized headphones around his neck and a mission: To scratch, mix, and promote his record label Illeven:eleven, which produces the music of more than 20 DJs along with its offshoot label, illBeatz. MacKenzie and DJ Deekline collaborated on 1999’s “I Don’t Smoke Da Reefa,” which helped popularize breakbeat style. It was released on 2008’s Booty Breaks, the DJ’s first release not to come out on vinyl. Booty Breaks is essentially a revolving door of guests from the Illeven:Eleven label, and the same holds true of the new Booty Breaks Volume 4, released at this show. Given the club-heavy beats and questionable lyrics about the beat being his boyfriend, this is music best meant for dancing, not dissecting.
