It’s time for the freaks to reconvene. For the first Midwest Freaks we went 12 hours in a secret warehouse in Madison. This time, somewhere in Minneapolis, Interdimensional Transmissions will team up with Remain in Night and Intellephunk for a 12 hour party in a warehouse. Bathed in sound with sets from so many of our favorite DJs, with the concept of celebrating the Midwest Freaks. Each crew is extremely dedicated to the quality of the experience, each crew believes in transforming the space for a deeper connection to the music, each crew hangs parachutes at their parties. So join us for ParachuteCon25 with some true Midwest Freaks: Detroit’s Erika x Minneapolis’ Centrific in a special set with members of 2 of the crews throwing this event — the IT crew and Intellephunk, more IT core with BMG going all the way in (with space transformational energy from IT core member Amber Gillen of course), Minneapolis’ deeply sonic gem Lauryn Lesley, the ever vibrant Moticos representing Madison and a special extended closing set from Detroit’s Daniel Bell. So many parachutes, so many freaks. Midwest Freaks unite!
“Midwest Freaks is celebrating the deep commitment that it takes to live outside the mainstream, to be a nonconformist in the Midwest. It’s a culture that's built upon years and years of thought and expertise. In Detroit, we’re in a place that has an unbroken line to the beginning, from disco ‘til now. When these grooves are laid, they're not just responding to punk, they're not just responding to counterculture. These are parts of who they are.
To be a freak in the Midwest means that you’re fully committed, because our society is so conformist and it enforces conformity in almost a cruel way. So you have these people that have dedicated themselves to this music, so much so that it's become a lifestyle. There's nothing else that they could do. So they're giving everything they have to it and that’s what the Midwest Freaks parties celebrate.” — BMG
