BORGORE 360º

CHAOS IN THE ROUND AT CONCORD

The Daddy of Gorestep descends on Chicago for a rare, intimate 360º experience. Forget the rail—you're part of the pit now.

THE 360º EXPERIENCE

If you've never hit a 360º set at Concord, you're playing the game wrong. This isn't your standard "DJ on a pedestal" worship session. Auris Presents flips the script by dropping the booth smack in the center of the dancefloor.

Why it matters: It turns the venue into a boiler-room style pressure cooker. You lose the safety of the "back of the crowd" because there is no back. You are surrounded by the energy, and Borgore is surrounded by you.

Proximity: You can practically read the BPM on the CDJs.
Sound: The acoustics at Concord are already punchy, but with the rig centralized, the bass hits different—it's omnidirectional chaos.
Vibe: Intimate, sweaty, and aggressive. Exactly how a Borgore set should be.

THE ARCHITECT: BORGORE

EST. TEL AVIV

Asaf Borger is a trained jazz musician who decided to use his powers for evil (the good kind). The founder of Buygore Records, he pioneered the "Gorestep" sound—a filthy amalgamation of heavy metal triplets, trap beats, and meme-worthy lyrics.

While known for classics like "Decisions" (yes, the Miley Cyrus one) and "Nympho," his recent sets have been diving deeper. Expect a mix of his OG dubstep anthems, heavy riddim chops, and maybe some curveball jazz-infused breaks given the intimacy of the 360 format.

TACTICAL MAP

Location: 2047 N Milwaukee Ave.
Cap: ~1,500.
Layout: Main floor, tiered sides, balcony suites.

THE SWEET SPOT: For the 360 set, the floor is war. If you want a view + drinks without the mosh, head to the tiered floor section directly behind the main center bar. It's elevated just enough to see over heads, but close enough to feel the sub-bass.

PROTOCOL

▶ Parking: Milwaukee Ave is a trap. Do not try it. Park west on Armitage for free spots if you're early, or just use SpotHero. The lot next door is expensive and traps you in traffic.
▶ Security: TSA-level. Empty your pockets. Coat check is $4, cash preferred.
▶ Earplugs: Mandatory. Concord is loud; a 360 set is louder.
