Bristol UK heavyweight HODGE joins ABSCI/RAW CODE resident CHRIS WIDMAN + special guest TOYACOYAH. fri 14 february 2025 abstract science presents RAW CODE featuring HODGE [fabric records, livity sound, houndstooth, bristol, uk] with resident CHRIS WIDMAN [abstract science, wluw 88.7fm] + special guest TOYACOYAH [tao of amen productions, proper chicago] PODLASIE CLUB 2918 N Central Park Ave., Chicago 9pm-2am 21+ — HODGE [fabric records, livity sound, houndstooth, bristol, uk] Since 2011, Bristol-based DJ and producer Hodge has become an increasingly potent presence at the forefront of UK club music, putting out weighty dancefloor-ready tunes that land in a moody meeting pot of house, techno and dubstep. A signifier of his vital role in Bristol’s musical landscape, he’s released music on Livity Sound and its sister imprint Dnuos Ytivil, Livity co-founder Peverelist’s other label Punch Drunk, Pinch’s Tectonic, and Shanti Celeste’s Peach Discs. Beyond the Bristol hotbed, Jake has put out music on Fabric Records, Houndstooth and Hemlock, collaborated with the likes of Laurel Halo, Tzusing, Randomer and Peder Mannerfelt, and remixed Bruce, Dusky, the mighty Leftfield and DJ Krust. His DJ sets are high-octane, running the bass music gamut, and his productions are distinctive and suspenseful; dubwise techno, urgent and extra-terrestrial synth patterns, and syncopated rhythms. – DJ Mag CHRIS WIDMAN [abstract science, wluw-chicago 88.7fm] “Chris Widman is Equal Parts DJ and Electronic Music Encyclopedia” (Noisey) — Chris Widman is a DJ that defies easy classification. Producer and co-host of the long-running Chicago radio show Abstract Science on WLUW-88.7FM, he is at the forefront of breaking new styles, blurring genre lines and re-introducing forgotten music. When DJing for the dancefloor, Widman is known for his adventurous mixing of tempos and styles, creating his own form of crowd-pleasing sonic warfare. Widman came up in the 90s midwest rave scene, DJing and promoting events with one foot on the dancefloor and the other in the chill room. This duality has followed his performance & curatorial work through club residencies (Smartbar 2001–2003/2008–2012 & Sonotheque 2004-2006), Chicago editions of the Mutek & Sonar festivals, and countless shows, everywhere from Metro & Empty Bottle to the Chicago Cultural Center & Pritzker Pavilion. TOYACOYAH [tao of amen productions, proper chicago] Toyacoyah is an indigenous DJ known for blending ancestral rhythms with modern breakbeats. She began her DJ career in the late 90s at the University of Oklahoma, curating beats for her own drum and bass radio show. After moving to Austin, Texas, she became a resident DJ for Mental Note, a night dedicated to liquid funk and jazzy drum and bass. Now based in Chicago, she continues to share her passion for fast-tempo music across the Midwest. Toyacoyah has performed alongside top producers like Addison Groove, Luke Vibert, LTJ Bukem, Roni Size, and Tim Reaper, delivering sets that span electro, breaks, juke, jungle, and more.

Coles took on the mantle of Om Unit in the late 2000s, and since then the English producer has sought to challenge himself and his audience by going beyond the confines of typical genres and styles. In the process he has found success by striving for a more human and daring approach to connecting styles of electronic music in unique ways. What drives Coles is a desire to keep challenging himself, and in turn his audience. During his time as Om Unit, this has led him to distill various influences — hip-hop, dubstep, ambient, jungle, footwork, techno and dub — into a fluid take on sound system culture and electronic music that sidesteps the pitfalls of genres and pastiche and creates new potentials for exploration and inspiration, with many following in his footsteps. It’s how, in the early 2010s (under the recently resurrected ’Philip D Kick’ alias) he came to pioneer the stylistic and rhythmic links between jungle and footwork via a series of acclaimed edits. This personal approach has earned Coles praise as a refreshing voice in dance music from both peers and the media. frail808 [rev, chicago] frail808 is a chicago-based dj, hardware act, producer, instrumentalist, and audio engineer. a classically trained percussionist, she has been producing and performing electronic music since her mid teens, inspired by first-wave dubstep, drone music, and releases from hyperdub and warp records. her roots as an experimental musician and performer have driven her to tirelessly experiment with new sounds and textures – frail808’s selections are wide and genre agnostic, with a unifying penchant for driving syncopated percussion, heavy sub bass, and yearning ambience. she brings an ecstatic energy to the decks, and thrives on the energy of a sweaty, uninhibited dancefloor – her sets are often broad in scope, traveling through searing bass bangers, ethereal breakbeat, introspective deep dub, and pulsing ambient tracks. she runs > dubstep party. CHRIS WIDMAN [Abstract Science, WLUW-Chicago 88.7fm] “Chris Widman is Equal Parts DJ and Electronic Music Encyclopedia” (Noisey) — Chris Widman is a DJ that defies easy classification. Producer and co-host of the long-running Chicago radio show Abstract Science on WLUW-88.7FM, he is at the forefront of breaking new styles, blurring genre lines and re-introducing forgotten music.

CLAIRE ROUSEY, CHATEAU FLIGHT, ELKKA + OVERMONO + THE STREETS lead off the new music featured on this episode of ABSTRACT SCIENCE hosted by JOSHUA P. FERGUSON + HENRY SELF. JOSHUA leans into Balearic sounds to start, slowly upping the tempo to end on a peaktime 2-step, broken techno vibe. HENRY shifts into moody downbeat, trip hop, and ambient territory before moving into sunset house + discoid territory. [aired 2 May 2024 on WLUW-Chicago 88.7FM] >JOSHUA P.
