- J.Phlip and Kevin Saunderson are among those booked at the festival and its afterparties.
- North Coast Music Festival will again set up shop in Chicago's Union Park next Friday the 29th through Sunday the 31st. For the Labor Day-weekend event's fifth annual edition, the lineup once again highlights electronic music, with lots of big-room, EDM and bass acts like Alesso, Bassnectar, Dada Life and Cashmere Cat. Also booked are hip-hop icons Snoop Dogg and Talib Kweli and a couple DJs like Dirtybird's J.Phlip and locals Orchard Lounge who should offer up more house-oriented sets. Along with the daytime happenings in Union Park, an extended weekend of afterparties has been planned. Highlights from that part of the program include a Thursday pre-party at Concord Music Hall, with Mount Kimbie, Chet Faker and Fujiya & Miyagi. The most notable one for house and techno heads is probably Transit's event on Sunday, which will feature Marc 'MK' Kinchen, J. Phlip and Kevin Saunderson.
