Undaground Element Events

"UE" was proud to be a part of the biggest underground events in the Midwest during that time putting off events throughout the Midwest with the Midwest's most respected and memorable promoters. In 1997 DJ Threejay started the now classic annual "Southside Chicago" series, celebrating the music of Chicago's top DJs and producers. Towards the end of the 90's rave scene, another one of our most succ

essful series was "Yoshi's World" which included "Return To Yoshi's World" and "Yoshi and Friends". Along with dozens more "one off's" and weekly events, Undaground Element had secured its spot as an integral part of Chicago's history. In 2000 DJ Threejay met Mark One Torres while attending college in downtown Chicago. They instantly hit it off and began collaborating on house music and events. In 2001 Threejay decided to pursue other projects and handed over the reigns of Undaground Element to Mark One. However, the two continued to play tag team DJ sets across the midwest while still returning to class during the week. Realizing the responsibility that came with heading up a crew that had a rich and well respected history, Mark continued to host quality events in Chicago using the Undaground Element name. Most notably was the "Elemental Thursdays" series which featured a mixture of Veteran DJs along with up and coming local talent. For the next 4 years Mark threw a dozen parties in Chicago and Wisconsin including "Shine", "Decks Men" and "Together Forever". In 2006 Mark One Torres left the music scene also to pursue other business ventures. In 2011 Threejay and Mark One have reunited and reinvented the Undaground Element as more than just a promotional group and currently have added members from across the nation with the focuse of underground House & Techno music!
