About:
Brother Jacob is a proud Chicago native, blues artist, radio host, and cultural preservationist whose performances blend the soul of gospel with the electric grit of Chicago blues. Born and raised on the city’s South Side, he fell in love with the blues as a child listening to WVON-AM’s Pervis Spann “The Blues Man” in the midnight hours. That deep musical foundation sparked a lifelong calling that would evolve into a unique voice on stage, over the airwaves, and in the city’s cultural conversations.
He began his professional journey through the Blues in the Schools program, performing at the Chicago Blues Festival under the mentorship of Deitra Farr. Over the years, Brother Jacob has become a familiar face on the scene, not just as a guest vocalist or sit-in performer, but as a frontman building a body of work with his own band and his own voice.
His music carries a spiritual intensity, rooted in storytelling and tradition, and driven by a mission to connect, uplift, and preserve. Brother Jacob delivers blues with reverence and revival.

About Johnny Bear:
Introduced to electronic music in the early 2000’s, after experimenting with a variety of instruments, Johnny was inspired by the boom of the electronic music scene during the 2010s to start producing himself. Johnny began crafting tracks of his own, blending inspiration from across the genre’s diverse subcultures, although always with an affinity to Chicago’s house music.
Having released his debut EP, Johnny has honed a bright, uplifting sound defined by feel-good energy and cheery vibes. His EP, “ID” is out on all streaming services
Born and raised in the Chicagoland area, Nightshift is a young and upcoming house and techno DJ. His journey began during his freshman year of college, when a roommate introduced him to the art of DJing—a moment that sparked a lasting passion for dance music and club culture.
Since then, Nightshift has cultivated a deep appreciation for the many realms of electronic music, channeling his influences into sets that balance groove, grit, and atmosphere. Blending elements of hardgroove, club, and indie dance, he crafts high-energy performances that move seamlessly between underground intensity and melodic euphoria.

Lighting design by Imaginate
Hörtechna is a new event series and artist collective in Chicago focused on showcasing Techno music, building a supportive community, uplifting emerging talent, and reinvigorating the dancefloor. Our high-energy, rhythmic Raw/Hardgroove Techno speaks to the soul and innervates the body. We gather inspiration from old-school to new; from our Detroit forebearers to those who are pushing musical boundaries.
NOTE: We seek to maintain a safe space for all who enter and we stand for mutual respect. Consent is a rule, not a suggestion. In order to keep the VIBES high and the MUSIC in focus, please limit phone and device usage to the areas away from the dancefloor.
Artist Bios
DJ Blix
Born and raised in Chicagoland, DJ BLIX (Griffin Tome) spins minimal, raw techno with an emphasis on layering and deep bass. His tight, clinical mixing style allows tracks to speak while delicately juggling multiple decks at once. DJ BLIX constructs his sets like a movie — rising, falling, and shifting in energy, each moment flowing naturally while staying under tight, deliberate control.
quade
quade wants one thing from the dancefloor: pandemonium. Through his time spiraling on dance floors -- to now spiraling on the decks, quade invites you to run through the jungle with him. With fast basslines, intense kicks, and subtle grooves, he rejects stillness, and encourages flailing.
Hören
A performer and music educator, Hören brings a wealth of musical diversity and knowledge to his showmanship on the decks. Drawing from many musical references, Hören delivers an exciting and curated journey to his audiences. His sonic style has been developed with an undercurrent of electrifying rhythms, vocals, and cultural flavors with a primary focus on movement and groove.

About:
The Bad Sneakers Orchestra is a tribute band formed in 2010 by Chicago bassist Paul Martin with an ambitious mission statement: to faithfully recreate the music of Steely Dan live, as represented on their classic albums. This goal necessitated a very large 14-piece ensemble, so that multiple keys and guitar parts, intricate vocal harmonies, and rich horn textures could be realized. After 10+ years of performances (with time off for Covid) the band is at its’ peak, offering the signature Fagen/Becker compositions with a casual aplomb and precision. (They make it look easy. It’s not.) And despite the fastidious attention paid to the recorded material, the members inevitably bring their individual voiceprints to bear within the framework of a cover tune.
A number of Chicago legends have guest starred with the Sneakers over the years, including fusion guitarists Ernie Denov, Chris Siebold, and Mike Pinto, vocalists Mike Harvey (who appeared on 2 Steely Dan albums and a Donald Fagen solo album), Cheryl Wilson (Peabo Bryson, Bertie Higgins), gospel sensation Tina Crawley, and saxophonist Steve Eisen. The charter members are top-drawer Chicago musicians, with decades of experience performing with some of the greatest names in the music industry. The current roster of regular members reads as follows:
Stevie Robinson Lead vocalist
Neal Alger Guitars
Mike Pinto Guitars
Kent Wehman Keys
Carter Luke Keys
Paul Martin Bass, Musical Director
Neal Wehman Drums
Kirk Garrison Trumpet
John Mose Trombone
John Bowes Tenor/Alto Sax

About:
DJs to perform 8pm – 2am
Lighting design by Imaginate
Hörtechna is a new event series and artist collective in Chicago focused on showcasing Techno music, building a supportive community, uplifting emerging talent, and reinvigorating the dancefloor. Our high-energy, rhythmic Raw/Hardgroove Techno speaks to the soul and innervates the body. We gather inspiration from old-school to new; from our Detroit forebearers to those who are pushing musical boundaries.
NOTE: We seek to maintain a safe space for all who enter and we stand for mutual respect. Consent is a rule, not a suggestion. In order to keep the VIBES high and the MUSIC in focus, please limit phone and device usage to the areas away from the dancefloor.
Artist Bios
DJ Blix
Born and raised in Chicagoland, DJ BLIX (Griffin Tome) spins minimal, raw techno with an emphasis on layering and deep bass. His tight, clinical mixing style allows tracks to speak while delicately juggling multiple decks at once. DJ BLIX constructs his sets like a movie — rising, falling, and shifting in energy, each moment flowing naturally while staying under tight, deliberate control.
quade
quade wants one thing from the dancefloor: pandemonium. Through his time spiraling on dance floors -- to now spiraling on the decks, quade invites you to run through the jungle with him. With fast basslines, intense kicks, and subtle grooves, he rejects stillness, and encourages flailing.
Hören
A performer and music educator, Hören brings a wealth of musical diversity and knowledge to his showmanship on the decks. Drawing from many musical references, Hören delivers an exciting and curated journey to his audiences. His sonic style has been developed with an undercurrent of electrifying rhythms, vocals, and cultural flavors with a primary focus on movement and groove.
