Very excited to share the 162nd OFR courtesy of Chicago based DJ and promoter, JS Alvarez, who heads Research & Development.

JS Alvarez is a dedicated and adventurous connoisseur of music but is loyal to no one genre. At an early age, Alvarez engulfed himself in punk, hardcore and metal while growing up in Miami. While performing with a handful of hardcore punk and post punk bands, his musical taste expanded widely. So he decided to give DJing a chance. After celebrating 2 years of running a successful dance party in Miami, he moved on to Chicago, cutting his teeth on more disco and soul. Now he finds himself as a resident at Chicago's Smartbar with a monthly series called Research & Development. Although Research & Development focuses on techno, it consistently seeks to highlight artists who blur the lines of genre and experiment within and outside dance music.

This particular mix was recorded during the Halloween season and moves through some sci-fi horror vibes while ending in what I'd describe as "perfect for that blood rave scene in Blade."
