By Jacob Arnold, Salem Collo Julin Verified| Chicago Reader Verified The Consumers Research & Development Label was one of several Chicago-based electronic-music outlets I followed in the early 2000s, before I’d even moved here. Its releases were always high quality, though it was difficult to concisely describe the label’s aesthetic due to their wide range of sounds, which included postrock and so-called IDM (“intelligent dance music”). The Drift EP Manic, issued digitally last November and expected on vinyl February 10, is the first Consumers release since 2006.
By Jacob Arnold| gridface.com@ Chicago-born Chris Nazuka started spinning and producing deep house just as a second wave of loft parties and the very first wave of raves began to bubble up in Chicago and Detroit. As Symbols & Instruments, Nazuka and his friends Derrick Carter and Mark Farina released the EP “Mood” on legendary Detroit label KMS in 1989. The trio lived together in a loft in Chicago’s River West neighborhood, which they called Red Nail based on their phone number.
