DJ Sean Parks will 'lay it down' in Hydrate debut this Friday

DJ Sean Parks makes his debut at Hydrate Nightclub in Chicago’s Lakeview neighborhood: he spins this Friday night, Nov. 12, for Social House Fridays, with his 5-hour set starting at 11 p.m.

“I am excited that house music is making its way back to Halsted Street. I figured it was only a matter of time before I played Hydrate,” Parks said. “It means a lot (to DJ at Hydrate) since they have one of the best dance floors on Halsted. The style in which I play is crafted for dancing, so this is a wonderful opportunity to rock out in the hood.”

So, what can attendees expect from the popular Parks?

Simple, he will “lay it down up in there,” Parks said.

The Chicago-based DJ will be spinning later this month in Orlando, Florida, and he is finalizing his first West Coast DJ trip, including stops in San Diego and San Francisco.
