• Dubstep Massacre highlights DJ talent

Kevin Miller, also known as DJ Belly, is still in preparation for Dubstep Massacre 9: Dubstep Halloween. Among the activities typically conducted by college students on Halloween, i.e. drinking, scaring little children and drinking, the Dubstep Massacre provides an alternative to the norm for Halloween evening activity. As Miller stated, “This is gonna be a monster party. We have four to five DJs playing music all night long.”

The Massacre, which will be held at Cowboy Monkey, plans to showcase everything from German and standard bass, to techno and Dubstep. Dubstep is a style of electronic music that originated in London in the 2000 UK garage scene, and has been celebrated over the past several years by local CU DJs. The event will feature both local and Chicago-area DJs, three of whom are members of the 217Mafia. “We’re bringing in two top notch DJs from Chicago, DJs Richie August and Phaded. Both of them are really nice guys and fun to hang with,” Miller said.

As per the event’s date, Halloween-themed festivities will definitely be taking place. “We have a costume contest planned. We’ll also be giving out gift certificates to local stores and autographed vinyl from past artists as prizes,” Miller explained.

More information about Dubstep Massacre 9 and related activities can be found on Miller’s blog at http://www.dubselecta.blogspot.com. Additionally, an after-hours party will be held following the close of the event. “The location is undisclosed until the night of the party — we’ll start telling people the location later during the party,” Belly said.

With loads of music to dance to, drinks to be had and fun times to be made, Dubstep Massacre 9: Dubstep Halloween will unquestionably be one of the hottest parties this Halloween evening. “The Dubstep Massacres have been some of the best parties I have attended. People come from different towns just for this, and they just go crazy. You can’t really hear anything else like this outside of the Midwest and Chicago area, and we always have a huge crowd,” Miller shared.

If you are looking for something to do this Halloween that’s not the average run-of-the-mill party, check out Dubstep Massacre 9 at 10:00 p.m. at the Cowboy Monkey. Admission is $5.
