Where Were You – A Ron Hardy Documentary Fundrasier Party
Doors 20:00
‘I Was There’ is a documentary in the making on Ron Hardy and the Rise of House Music from Chicago and the Midwest. The film’s aim is to keep Ron’s story alive for future generations as well as putting House’s narrative back in the hands of its originators.
The film will explore the early evolution of House and music as a response to inequality, racism, Reaganomics, the AIDS crisis and civil unrest.
All entry fees will go towards shooting the film’s next interview Chicago in November with the legendary Robert Williams – the man responsible for giving Ron Hardy and Frankie Knuckles their starts, as the founder of The Muzic Box and The Warehouse.
The film is being made with the collaboration and supervision of Bill Hardy and the Hardy Family. Dress to sweat. Doors open at 20:00 Pitch teaser for the film in the links below featuring interviews with Robert Owens and Jamie 3:26.

21/09 R0 — Vol.2
SWEAT represents one of the purest forms of being alive. sweat is a vivid proof of energy, and energy translates into heat. it is a state of visible transformation, a process of becoming that connects body and mind. we do not consider sweat as something to be hidden or even prevented. we consider sweat as the most authentic expression of passion. It creates a story that goes beyond individual movement. sweat is a dialogue: on the dance floor, sweat embodies a nonverbal language and shared experience. sweat is a mentality of challenging limits and resisting. naturally, sweat stands for not giving up, for pushing boundaries when things get uncomfortable. sweat asks for dedication. it is the visible proof of trying. to sweat is to continue, to endure, and ultimately, to evolve. for us, sweat foreshadows achievement. in the context of nightlife, we perceive sweat as devotion. with the second volume of R0, we affirm life and energy on the dance floor. sweat follows the body in motion—beginning with house and unfolding into body-oriented techno. KARINA SCHNEIDER, OGTRUES, JESSE G, and THOMS TRAXX deliver uncompromising energy in their own, unexpected ways. let’s sweat.
