On Fridays, Eight Forty-Eight presents some of the best selectors Chicago has to offer.

Dirk van den Heuvel certainly knows his way around a turntable. As a DJ had Chicago crowds moving for a long time. But since 1999 he’s also been the head of Groove Distribution; so he knows how to move records into stores too. He joined Eight Forty-Eight as part of the DJ Series: A Spinning Season.
