About the artwork
In each volume of Midnight Snack we ask a new visual artists to make an artwork in their distinct style. This time we asked MatthewLopz to pick what snack we should have this time and also to write a short introduction about his work.

"Hello, my name is David Mattos Lopez, better know as MatthewLopz, I’m a digital artist, my work focuses on feelings, I like touching on emotions hard to express but easy to relate to, lots of pain, sadness and cigarettes but with nice bright colors, also, I’m Colombian, I take great pride in my culture and i take a lot from my country’s aesthetic in order to make some of my pieces, so, from Colombia with much love, hope you keep enjoying and support my art!"

Above all, we have created temples to protect ourselves with our strong beliefs. We won't give up anything. People of faith, let us be together.
Sobre todo, hemos creado un templo para protegernos con creencias sólidas. No cederé ante nada. Los de la fe, estemos juntos.

In this episode of Poducer, we sit down with Orville Kline, a genre-bending DJ, producer, and longtime staple of the city’s underground electronic scene. From his explosive live sets and wild stage antics to his deep expertise in music production, Orville blends technical mastery with pure chaos in the best way possible.

We dive into his journey from punk shows to warehouse raves, the rise of the iconic Porn and Chicken parties, and how touring shaped his approach to performance. As one of the few Ableton Certified Trainers in the Midwest, Orville also shares insights into his production workflow, teaching philosophy, and the evolving landscape of electronic music education.

In this episode of Poducer, we sit down with Artie Do Good — a genre-bending producer, trombonist, educator, and storyteller who fuses live jazz instrumentation with electronic music and deeply rooted political themes.

From his early days throwing ska shows in Kenosha to composing orchestral works in NYC, Artie walks us through his evolution as an artist, educator, and community builder. We dig into the influence of Chicago’s DIY scene, the impact of labor movements and socialist philosophy on his music, and the creative process behind his powerful album Socialist Dance Party.

We also explore the intersection of soulful composition and beat production, his dual life as a teacher and performer, and the growing movement of emotionally intelligent masculinity (aka himboism). Plus, he shares unreleased tracks, stories of musical mentorship, and memories of transformative shows like D’Angelo at Afropunk.

In this episode of Poducer, we sit down with Chicago-based house producer, DJ, and attorney Arum — a rising voice in the underground scene known for his soulful, groove-forward productions, community organizing, and fiercely human-centered approach to music.

He shares how early influences like Crystal Castles and Death from Above shaped his love for experimental rhythms, and why he now champions house music with emotion, texture, and intention.

Arum breaks down his creative process, his views on algorithm-driven promotion, and how he uses marketing tools like Meta ads with intention — all while avoiding the industry’s pressure to chase empty numbers. We also dive into his legal background, discussing music contracts, AI concerns, and why empowering artists with knowledge is at the core of his mission.

Plus, we talk about Beyond Ecstasy Vol. 2, the multi-genre event he’s curating at Book Club Chicago on August 2, featuring names like Backpack, Dante Drives, Yannaa Lynette, and more — a night that blends house, hip-hop, experimental electronics, and rave history into one vibrant community gathering.

We explore his approach to growth as an artist, the role of collaboration in shaping his music, and how consistency and community feedback have fueled his development.

Beyond music, Charlie shares his perspective as a studying therapist, reflecting on mental health, empathy, and the importance of creating safe spaces for expression. He talks candidly about navigating self-doubt, learning to shift negative self-talk, and balancing passion with purpose.
