Dear Friends-
With a new year comes a new beginning. We do hope you can join us for the return of Chicago's most eclectic and musically diverse clubnights: YOUR FORMULA LIFE returns with a vengeance to Chicago's acclaimed Sonotheque nightclub with an event feature stocked from start to finish... early arrival VERY strongly suggested.
-MEIOTIC + friends

More about the artists:

DEREK PLASLAIKO -DJ set-
(Ghostly, Spectral labels - YFL resident - Detroit/NYC)

Derek's back, and he's got a new trophy in tow.

The YFL resident was recently honored in the Village Voice 2006 “Best Of NYC” poll as his tear through New York City's much ballyhooed nightclub/party scene (via his residency with the Bunker @ Subtonic & his involvement with the Wolf + Lamb parties) has injected the Big Apple with a healthy dose of the ex-Detroiter's partymaking & dancefloor freaking DJ serum. It's guaranteed tomfoolery when Plaslaiko makes party at YFL... the residency continues tonight.

PLUS DEVICE -live PA-
(HEFTY Records - from Detroit/Chicago)

"Since the release of the PLUS DEVICE debut Body Heat EP earlier in 2006, a buzz is brewing about who is behind the ultra secretive PLUS DEVICE project... Who or what the identity of PLUS DEVICE is and where they're from is not important. Simply put this on your turntable and enjoy these electro-funk masterpieces. Recommended to fans of Kraftwerk, Egyptian Lover, Afrika Bambaataa, Man Parrish, Mantronix, AFX/Analord, Trax Records, Juan Atkins/ Model 500, Adult, Aux 88, Dopplereffekt." -Music for Robots

There has been much speculation regarding the actual identity of Plus Device (Juan Atkins, Morgan Geist, Drexciya, Tadd Mullinix and Egyptian Lover are some names that have been referenced). All we can confirm about Plus Device is the following:
1) It is a project featuring well known electronic music musician(s).
2) Plus Device "creates electro-funk/electro-pop music that is destined for cult classic status." (MFR)

Plus Device’s fantastic debut album, Puncture, is out now on HEFTY Records. Hot on the heels of an URB Magazine feature and favorable Pitchfork track review, this special performance marks PD’s worldwide live debut. The PD collective are promising a proper, dirty dance set that is not to be missed!

DAEDELUS -DJ set-
(Mush, Ninja Tune, Plug Research, Alpha Pup labels - from Los Angeles)

Daedelus has been making music for several years now and has recorded for labels like Mush, Plug Research, Alpha Pup, Laboratory Instinct and Eastern Developments. Over the years, he has collaborated with the likes of Madvillain (MF Doom and Madlib), Nobody, Beans, Prefuse 73, Busdriver, TTC, Subtitle and many others. His live show utilizes a custom-built sample trigger device, the Monome, and software package. He wows audiences all across the U.S., Europe, and Japan with his original compositions, blending honeyed film soundtracks from the 30s and 40s with beats that bang impressively in the present. His most recent release, “Denies the Day’s Demise,” was released by Mush Records on May 9, 2006. On September 25, 2006, Mush Records released the first single off his album, entitled “Sundown”, which features remixes by Diplo, Dark Party (aka Eliot Lipp & Leo 123) and Lulu Mushi. A new EP offering, ‘Throw A Fit,’ was released by Alpha Pup Records on October 10, 2006. He is currently working on new material, both as a solo artist and as a member of Adventure Time and The Long Lost.

Daedelus’ last set in Chicago blew the roof off at Sonotheque... this one promises to be another spectacular musical romp. For this appearance, he is spinning a special dancefloor DJ set, which promises to be just as fun and eclectic as his own live sets.

ATOMLY -live PA-
(Atomiq, Fear, Carpark labels - from Berlin)

After hunkering down and absorbing all that Berlin's healthy art and music scene has to offer, Atomly - the ridiculously diverse producer with the Viking like stature - returns stateside for a few select dates. We of course needed to have him play for us here in his REAL home of Chicago, and this night will actually have the added bonus of this being his Chicago birthday party... Make sure you come out and holla atcha boy.
