The final Wednesday in Vibe Studio JXN’s anniversary series gives the 2000s a Chicago-house frame, alongside an open studio with Justin Ransburg and Lydia Martin.
All times are local to the venue · America/Chicago
Bryan Akili’s music program follows Chicago house into the 2000s, naming Afro house and acid jazz among its influences and including a tribute to Louie Vega. The Dec. 16 event pairs that focus with an open studio as Vibe Studio JXN celebrates 10 years of creativity.
Grit & Gratitude is organized as three separate Wednesday open-studio nights, each focused on a different decade of house music. Dec. 16 is the final installment and turns to the 2000s.
The Dec. 2 session looked at 1980s Chicago house, with Italian disco, Chicago’s new sound, acid house and R&B influences, plus a tribute to Frankie Knuckles. The Dec. 9 session shifted to the 1990s, drawing on Detroit techno, New York garage and R&B influences, with a tribute to Roy Ayers. Those are distinct dates and programs, not additional parts of the Dec. 16 lineup.

The Dec. 16 listing describes the music by its decade, styles and Louie Vega tribute, rather than naming individual tracks. That gives visitors a clear sense of the set’s subject, but not a song-by-song preview.
