DJ Isaac Escalante has fond memories of past trips to Chicago, such as kissing a guy in the middle of the street during Northalsted Market Days – “and he became one of my closest friends since that day,” Escalante said.
The Miami-based DJ is set to make more Chicago memories. He teams with Chicago-based DJ Ale Maes for the beats at the annual Black & Blue Ball of International Mr. Leather (IML) on Monday night, May 29, produced by CircuitMOM Productions.

The 5-hour Black & Blue Ball is held at the House Of Blues (329 N. Dearborn) in downtown Chicago, starting at 9 p.m.
Escalante said IML is “always happy moments (as attendees) have the best attitude.”
Escalante has been DJing for 22 years and already this year has delivered his distinctive sound with house tribal and tech house in Boston, Atlanta, Amsterdam and elsewhere around the world.
