Wired Fridays is a lunch hour dance party series the Cultural Center has created featuring live DJs and electronic music every 1st and 3rd Friday. It's a perfect way to take a break during your Friday, dance away some stress and enjoy some good music.

Tomorrow DJ John Simmons spins from 12 to 1 p.m. and admission is free if you'd like to check it out. Simmons has twenty years of experience as a DJ focusing mainly in House music but also spins "Soul, Funk, Disco, Boogie, Classic Hip-Hop, 80s & 90s, modern-day Electronic, "World" music, and more." He has spun all over the world, from Detroit to Cairo to Ibiza and has shared the bill with the likes of Frankie Knuckles, Derrick May, Kaskade and many more. You can usually catch him around town for a more intimate set at places like Simone's or Rodan.

Wired Fridays is tomorrow at the Chicago Cultural Center, located at 78 E. Washington St. DJ John Smith will spin from 12 to 1 p.m. so head over and get your groove on.
