    About This Event

    Marshall Jefferson and Galcher Lustwerk share a Paradiso bill at Paragon, presenting a cross-generational house lineup. Jefferson’s Chicago-house fundamentals — drum machines, repeating keyboard figures and rhythmic vocals — are set against Lustwerk’s lo‑fi, jazz- and hip-house approach, with stripped-down drums and close-miked vocals; the pairing foregrounds groove, structure, tone and controlled understatement.
