Due to unfavorable conditions we have postponed our finale at SOL Buffalo this Saturday. All purchased tickets will be refunded immediately. But fear not, we are already working with Nathan Barato and Stacey Pullen (official page) to reschedule for this winter and the 2025 pool season. Thank you for an UNFORGETTABLE 2024 summer at the pool!

We want to thank every single member of SOL Pool club for everything they did for us in our inaugural season. Especially Simon Wilson, Thomas Crane and Ryan Dils. They are doing the things behind the scenes that this city needs to get house music to where we always wanted it and we are more than happy to be a part of the blood, sweat and tears to make it happen.

To anyone who shared one of the beautiful, sunny dance floors with us this summer we owe you our deepest gratitude as well. We’ve said it before: without you we can’t continue to throw these shows. Without people on the dance floor, there is no party. THANK YOU.

For those looking to still celebrate Chad Lock’s birthday he has a birthday set at the Confound in Sound party at Gypsy Parlor on Saturday!

I know everyone hates to hear these words come from promoters BUT….. stay tuned 😉

⚡️ARTIST SPOTLIGHT⚡️

Gene Farris lives and breathes house music. A bonafide Chicago legend, he’s been pushing musical boundaries for over three decades, from spinning at underground warehouse parties in the early 90s to working with the current crop of world-leading labels and artists. Relief, Dirty bird, Circus, ViVa Music,Defected, Repopulate Mars: all have released and championed Gene Farris records over the past few years, alongside his own Farris Wheel imprint: a testament to the quality and relevance of the music he creates. Farris has become a go-to collaborator for many high calibre artists, including Sub Focus, Cajmere, Green Velvet, Loco Dice, John Summit, Riva Starr, Mark Knight and Jamie Jones, further establishing Farris as a rare and highly sought-after talent.

Gene started his career spinning vinyl – a mix of acid house and disco – and was one of The Power House’s first resident DJs, as well as a residency at Chicago’s infamous Boom Boom Room spanning eight years. A move to Europe followed, with Gene holding down a four-year residency at Jimmy Woo in Amsterdam, after which he hit the studio with a profound sense of innovation and a desire to make music that moved both him and others.

As a self-taught engineer and producer, his work with Cajual, Relief Records, Defected Records, Soma Recordings and his own breakout label Farris WheelRecordings, propelled his influence into ever expanding realms. His catalogue is vast, varied and consistently inspired, with notable releases including collaboration ‘It’s Time’ on EMI with drum and bass heavyweight Sub Focus,‘Play’ on Sn**ch!, ‘LOL’ on Relief and 2015’s ‘Move Your Body’, which was one of the biggest club records of the year. Similarly impressive was Gene’s ‘Welcome ToChicago EP’, which after its release on Defected Records back in 2003, quickly became a cult classic.

⚡️Artist Spotlight⚡️

Codes continues to bring his own taste on house music. This man’s DJ sets are just as funky as his tracks, both heavily influenced by jungle, hip hop and the art of DJing. His releases on Holy Molè, Dirtybird, Night Bass and Night Service Only are just a peak at what lies ahead for Codes.

Recently taken on the role as record label owner/curator of Holy Molè Music. Feeling out each track for quality dopeness before peeling it back to feed the masses. The deliberate intention behind each drop on stage or in the studio, along with the masterful curation of his label are the perfect recipe for another record breaking year for Codes.
