Robin Thicke Performing at The Mid (Chicago)

What girl can resist a suave, sexy man with a sultry voice like Robin Thicke? Apparently, not many. On Monday, December 12th The Mid was sold out and packed with ladies (and a handful of guys…mostly boyfriends/husbands) to see their favorite R&B singer on his 3-week promotional tour for his album “Love After War.” Lines stretched around the block while many fans had waited outside for nearly 2 hours before doors opened. Die-hard fans I must say, considering the 20 degree weather and an outfit choice of skirts and heels for most.

With a house music sensation like Fedde Le Grand gracing The Mid with his presence on Saturday, December 10th, it’s no wonder tickets were sold out to this show. Originally from Holland, le Grand is most notable for his 2006 track “Put Your Hands Up For Detroit,” which launched his career overseas and later in the States (see video below). Having his residency in world exclusive venues like The Ministry of Sound London and Pacha Ibiza, this performance was at the top of every Chicagoland fan’s party list. And one thing’s for sure– no one left disappointed.

DJ Chuckie, also known as Clyde Narain, kicked off the Holiday Season with a live performance at the MID Night Club. His appearance on Black Wednesday was not the first time this Dutch House producer has come though the MID. He previously made an appearance in January back when the MID was first surfacing in Chicago.

DJ Chuckie has quickly sent himself to the top of the world’s DJs. Coming in with a “dirty dutch” sound, Chuckie drops a violent and wild bassline. His style’s appeal has been displayed by the energy he transfers to his fans, who are in the air for every one of his sets. He even titled one of his most recent releases, “Who is Ready to Jump?” -a track samples recordings from some of his live sets during his tour throughout the summer. This along with many other tracks were heard Wednesday night at the MID. Chuckie threw down hard with tunes like “Radioactive,” “Who is Ready to Jump,” and one of his most recent remixes – “Down for Whatever,” feat. Kelly Rowland.
