About The Chicago Party:

The Chicago Party resurrects the 1982 UHF public-access television show.

In an attempt to evolve from a post-disco era, the CopHerBox II nightclub hosts packaged electronic soul groups, r&b singers, and punk funk bands.  Local talent variety acts and skits accompanied the music, crafting an entertaining (and occasionally absurd) peak into Saturday nights in the club.

The Chicago Party soundtrack is rooted in remixes of the songs from the original show. Composed by digital artist and Chicago native Beep Iams (bpms), the music bridges the many dance music genres that are iconic to the city. 

Over the course of three acts, the show features New York City’s top dancers, aerialists, burlesque and circus performers.
