FRIDAY NIGHT

The biggest compliment a DJ can be given is making people dance to music they don’t know.” — Darryn Jones 

This Friday, Errancy welcomes Darryn Jones and Material to the floor. The following are quotes and summaries from Errancys interview with Durty Truth.

Darryn is the kind of DJ other DJs quietly study. A Chicago original, responsible for bootlegs and reissues he’ll never be credited for. He describes his style like this: “I would describe my style almost like a gumbo. Anything I think is interesting, I’m willing to try it.” Disco, Jazz fusion, House, Drum tracks, Electro. Darryn’s bag is dictated by his ear - he follows the music, not the crowd.

When Darryn talks about the music, he talks about everyone who built it. “There’s a lot of dope DJs who set the bar,” he says, “that the system is kind of shortchanging. There’s a lot of unknown DJs around. But from the commercial scene, you won’t never hear them.” Darryn named too many DJs to list, but the thread runs back to Ron Hardy -to every house or warehouse where a record played three times until the room finally understood it. “By the third time,” Darryn says, “everybody is going crazy. Sometimes records have to grow.” His partner, Material, puts it as: “The sound we play is created in community. People feeding off each other, responding to each other, continuing the sound.” 

Material heard Darryn play for the first time at Danny’s eight years ago. Growing up playing classical music, ripping CDs at the library, material has been obsessed with music their whole life. “Darryn is definitely my highest influence so far as sound goes,” they say. Material said that Darryn has taught them how to trust their own ear and take risks. “The tracks I found with my own ear are the ones I’m most proud of.” Together they are Durty Truth, with an uncompromising sound. Material describes mixing disco by quoting Sadar: “Sometimes its trying to make two bands play together at the same time” when asked how they pack a bag, Material responded – “If the music is working together, people won’t be thinking about what they want to hear. They’ll just be dancing.”

Headed home to Chicago to celebrate one year of these gatherings. What better way than with a free party under that apple tree.

We’re honored to bring together a heavy lineup of locals, each with a deep connection to the sound and spirit of dance music.

Maestro @material_________ is one of Chicago’s most dedicated crate diggers, a true student of the city’s musical lineage. As co-resident of the lauded @durtytruthsoundsystem party alongside Darryn Jones, Material channels the raw essence of Chicago. Their sets move fluidly across genres, grounded in tradition but never confined by it. 

Rooted in the Midwest, @moorhaus_ represents the next wave of regional selectors pushing boundaries. The Milwaukee based DJ is known for the deepest of cuts and a sprawling palette of sound. His sets explore the space between hypnotic textures and driving grooves, expect a true reflection of the Midwest’s ever evolving underground.

By way of Kosovo, @eramah takes a deeply intuitive approach to the decks. Now based in Chicago, her sound stems from a genuine love for rhythm and atmosphere. Expect raw and refined sounds. 

Hear + There co-founder and resident @ben_landen starts the day off with warm and groovy sounds.

Lots of surprises in store to make this a special one.Free RSVP via RA.

On May 8th, Errancy is honoured to host @dj.darryn__disco_or_die for a vinyl night, joined by his Durty Truth co-founder @material_________ and Chicago’s rising @ctrlzora . Doors at 8.

Darryn Jones, revered among the ears-to-the-ground crowd worldwide, headlines with 2 hours of TUNEZ pulled from a crate he’s been building since 1983.

Durty Truth has been a true inspiration for Errancy. Having interned with them before starting Errancy, we’re thrilled to bring their sound (including their Martin Audio system!) to our home. Material opens the night with a 3-hour set from their deep, wide-ranging crate, and CTRLZORA — curator of The Cowrie and student of the genre’s founders — rooted in the midwest's black dance music's lineage with a forward facing sound.”

Our usual staff will be running the party: @carriedst & @ritmolechon (hosts), @ellifiona (food), @tokage__kaeru & @grinchcard (bar), @911_emergency_hotel (installations), @jontypaul (lights) and @yannaalynette (door).

Not one to be missed, DM @_errancy_ or @durtytruthsoundsystem for more info!

Durty Truth is proud to welcome a long time friend and collaborator in underground activities - @thetwilitetone !! Twilite will be coming out from LA to close out the night for us.

I used to be able to hit the bins 2-3 times a week, but I’ve been confined to the house the last couple years bc I want to be there for the babies. So, I’ve been buying lots of big collections and digging through them at home once the kids are asleep ;) and now - on to the next collection! Just finished digging through & processing the last 7k records and the basement is ready to welcome these new discs, ready to be distributed to music overs in Chicago and beyond. Lots of techno, house, (tons of ) hip hop, disco, etc. I’ll be putting out some goodies from this on March 7, 8th and 9th along with a really amazing collection of dub techno & trippy tech house 12s I got last week. If you’d like to join in and dig let me know ! Also - Durty Truth announcements coming in hot!! Stay tuned !!!
