Vibe Studio JXN’s Dec. 9 open studio features Drew Dempsey and Lydia Martin alongside Bryan Akili’s set on 1990s Chicago house and its stated influences.
All times are local to the venue · America/Chicago
This Grit & Gratitude edition gives its music a clear frame: Bryan Akili’s set focuses on Chicago house in the 1990s, while an open studio features Drew Dempsey and Lydia Martin. The evening is part of Vibe Studio JXN’s celebration of 10 years of creativity.
Bryan Akili’s set turns to 1990s Chicago house, placing it in conversation with Detroit techno, New York garage and R&B, and including a tribute to Roy Ayers. The listing outlines these influences but does not provide a track list.
This musical frame sits alongside the open studio. Visitors can expect a 1990s-centered theme, not a confirmed sequence of particular songs.

Dec. 9 is the middle date in a three-part Wednesday series, with each edition focused on a different decade of house music. The Dec. 2 installment is scheduled to feature Latrice Lawson, Victoria Meek and Lydia Martin. Its 1980s theme draws on Italian disco, an emerging Chicago sound, acid house and R&B, with a tribute to Frankie Knuckles.
The final date, Dec. 16, is a separate 2000s-focused edition featuring Justin Ransburg and Lydia Martin. Its listed musical references are Afro house and acid jazz, with a tribute to Louie Vega. Those rosters and themes belong to their respective dates; the Dec. 9 listing names Dempsey and Martin for its open studio and gives Akili’s set the 1990s focus.
