Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
So what you always wonder when going out, is can talent trump venue? The Mid is a new nightspot on the Near West side, that is you’re a denizen of yelp.com, the user review Web site, isn’t all that beloved yet. But then you look at the folks playing there, and you maybe close the browser and hit the road. Felix da Housecat is one of those folks who put the lie to the “DJs aren’t artists” worldview. Just take your vitamins, because Felix shows no mercy, with dance beats that are irresistible and endless. And in the same week, there’s pioneering hip-hop DJ Afrika Bambaataa? We’re there. 10 p.m. Saturday (Felix da Housecat), $10-$20, (21+); 10 p.m. Wednesday (Afrika Bambaataa), $10, at The Mid, 306 N. Halsted St.; 312-265-3990, clubtix.net
