The Saturday night club scene in Cincinnati is ever evolving, with its myriad of entertainment choices. The appropriate choice for the swanky club goer is the house music soiree at the Main Event. Rick Always of Urban Pioneer has championed a class act of high performance musicians to commandeer what is often referred to as downtown Cincinnati's best sound system. The hand picked regional favorites know how to use every ounce of it, allowing the beats and bass to fully stimulate the bodies packing the dance floor.
Last Saturday's birthday blowout for Rick spawned an exclusive live music performance by Infinite Grey (aka John Berman), a live electronic music natural. His comprehensive assortment of famed musical devices, including the Access Virus, Roland TR-909, and Akai MPC-2000, allows him to create a spacious house music atmosphere made from scratch, while onlookers and dancers alike engage his improvised, jazzy chord stabs and piano like melodies. With the addition of classic vocal samples which are instantly recognizable, it is no wonder why he has such a favorable reputation among the Cincinnati house heads.

Juwan Rates continued the house music fervor, mixing directly out of Infinite Grey's set. A resident of Cincinnati's own Lingo Recordings label, Juwan is a midwest house music innovator, pushing all across the map with his rock solid mixing abilities and exclusive track selection. Having his hands in the underground producer's catalogs, as well as his own outfit of house music, Juwan's sets are a one of a kind, cutting edge experience, making him a coveted performer across Illinois and Indiana, representing the Cincinnati house music sound as far away as Texas.

With closing performance by Johnny Mack until 4am, and special celebrity appearance by Bobcat Goldthwait, not only is the Main Event the hottest after hours in Cincinnati, but with the help of Urban Pioneer, it is consistently producing a steady stream of reputable house music talent. The Chicago-esque influence in the late night music scene is accurately represented right here in the Queen City every Saturday at the Main Event, 835 Main Street in downtown Cincinnati. Main Event is also hosting Lingo Recordings Regulate event tonight with DJ Hep, and Wobble Wednesdays with Vennatics. Keep your eyes peeled as Urban Pioneer continue to produce quality house music events in Cincinnati.
