"Venerable live-reggae venues like The Wild Hare and Exedus II can be a gamble, depending on the act. Where can you find a consistently great reggae scene? Anywhere DJ Redlox spins is sure to have an authentic Jamaican house party feel. After eight years spinning at the old Lava Lounge in Wicker Park, Redlox, so named for his long red dreads, has a devoted following, from Rastafarians to college kids. Check the Web site djredlox.com for his latest gigs, or on Thursdays stop by Darkroom (2210 W. Chicago Ave.; 773-276-1411) and listen to the way he plays cutting-edge reggae and Jamaican classics, tweaking the tempo and tone depending on the crowd's mood, and adding hip-hop, Indian, Arabic, and world music."

"Some folks just can't handle the womp. I thought it was great. I especially enjoyed their take on classics that they dubbed out and made their own. They did a dope riff on Peter Tosh's "Legalize It," which included a nod to Musical Youth's "Pass the Dutchie" ("How does it feel when you got no herb?") and another on Bob Marley's "Sun Is Shining" ( "To the rescue, here I am!"). To the relief of many, the set ended just after 9:30, and the squares could breath a little easier"

Known as “the festival of lights”, it’s a time of spiritual rejuvenation and unabashed revelry. And we are celebrating this most auspicious day with a Diwali party at The Victor Hotel. Jimmy Singh and DJ Red Lox will provide the best bhangra, reggae, and International dance music all night. DJ Spre spins hip-hop and soul in the back. Complimentary hors d’oeuvres and drink specials. Other attractions includes a henna station, fireworks, and more. GFP embraces celebration and revelry worldwide and from all cultures, do you?"

"On February 25th in Chicago, Underground Nirvana proved once again that Chicago's got one of the very best Nightlife scenes in the country. DJ Red Lox and Jimmy Singh made the night hypnotic with their Bhangra beats."

"3 stars for old LAVA. The one with the pool table in the back and pay phone. A couple other old memories....Dj Red Lox, reggae night, old school hip hop night, DJ booth at front door, clock about front door set 30 mins ahead, broke down booths that were fun to make out in, basement with jenky staircase, red and black ladies room with tub covered as a black furry bench (also fun place to make out), shady neighborhood, bad-ass bartenders. New LAVA gets 1 star for mega-lameness!!!! None of the old feeling remains. Shame on you LAVA. You and Borderline can both hang your heads in complete and utter shame. LAVA even has the nerve to keep it's own name. At least Borderline had the good sense to change it's name. It's like getting married and keeping your previous ex-husbands' name."
