If dance music has a heart, it exists on Chicago’s south side, and Ghetto Division are setting its beat. In an effort to promote this forward-thinking style, Charlie Glitch, Maddjazz, Rampage, Rob Threezy, Moonman, D-51 and the rest of the Ghetto Division crew put together a recurring night at the legendary Metro to showcase their unique sound. The first Southside Shakedown was an astounding success, as supporters from around the Chicagoland area filled the 1,100-person venue to capacity with an energy rarely seen outside of a southside house party.

Fresh from his Fool’s Gold debut release, a remix of a track by Chicago’s own Kid Sister, “Right Hand Hi,” this vanguard of tropical blends, latin stylings and bass-heavy, dance-savvy sounds from around the world is catching the ear of more than a few tastemakers. Kingdom’s set at Southside Shakedown promises a signature fusion of Latin, Kwaito, Bmore, House, Juke, Soca, Bassline, Bubbling, Dubstep, and Dancehall influences likely to bring the house down.

The Chicago Deadbeats are longtime friends with Ghetto Division and will surely bring an outrageously crowd-pleasing set of hip-hop, juke and ghettotech to the night.
Goldar has been making clubs and parties bang all over Chicago, boasting the freshest tracks and an inimitable style that made him an easy addition to the Shakedown.
A southsider with a lot of experience invading the northside of Chicago, Delacutti brings a love of house and juke together with electro and bmore to satisfy every club.
Broken Disco 1980 are better known as the new wave band Perfect Kiss, but when put behind the decks, they manage to pull out some of the most amazing disco, new wave and italo heard this side of 1990.
