Set off on a one-of-a-kind tour through decades of South Side merry-making with favorite holiday home movies from the South Side Home Movie Project Archive, sound-tracked with a new score by DJ TREW that will warm up those wintry days.

Gather 'round! In his new mix entitled “Cold, Cool, Outta Sight,” DJ TREW attempts to capture the dichotomy of the winter experience - a barren, cold and peaceful landscape countered by overflowing, warm, and excitable humans - as well as the moments of anticipation, connection, and overall whimsy we find during the holidays.

DJ TREW (aka Nigel Ridgeway) Co-owner of Miyagi Records, DJ TREW’s love for performing began in grade school when using two tape decks to spin basement parties. His main aim is to weave a common thread through seemingly disparate genres. Drawing inspiration from the early 1980s NYC art/music world, he believes no genre is off limits, no collaboration too outlandish.

L1 is a creative business accelerator program and retail store located in Washington Park on the Arts Block along the 300 E Block of historic Garfield Boulevard. Operated and managed by Arts + Public Life (APL), L1 is situated under the Chicago Transit Authority’s Green Line elevated tracks inside of the historic first “L” station built in 1892.
