Ok, so it’s a couple days later than when I promised, but the announcement for my new partner in crime has finally arrived. Her name is Marea, a.k.a. The Lady Foursquare, a.k.a. part of Noise Floor Crew, the group that’s been making waves lately with their Portishead remixes. She has been quite busy lately, recently signed to DJ Pierre’s Afro-Acid label and was just involved in the “No Love Lost Mixtape Project” alongside artists such as The Toxic Avenger and The Bloody Beetroots. Marea is also a part of the Dust Traxx record company here in Chicago and I’m so excited to have someone else on board who is not only going to rep Chicago with me, but is another busy woman active within the industry. Plus, the woman has wicked tattoos and I’m admittedly too much of a pussy to get one, even though I love the way they look.

Coincidentally, I just finished an article for TimeOut Chicago profiling Dust Traxx and interviewed Marea (and founder Radek) for it. It’s in this week’s issue, so the print version unfortunately goes out of circulation today, but the piece is also up online. View it here.

Please join me in welcoming Marea into the fold!
