Adventures In Modern Music on Thursday 15 July presents a breakdown of Chicago beats, with Derek Walmsley joined on the line by writer, blogger, photographer and Chi-town resident Dave Quam. His mix will present a history of Chicago styles from old school to new, taking in House, proto-Ghetto House, Juke, Footwork, from the Muzic Box to DJs Nate and Rashad and beyond, and he'll be talking about Chicago's love affair with the beat. Resonance 104.4fm and resonancefm.com, 21:00-22:30.

I'll post a link to a download and tracklisting for the show soon. It was great...
