Meet Me Upstairs is a free, weekly dance party held in the Upstairs Lounge at Schubas. All are welcome.

Nate Large is a Chicago-based DJ who’s known for mixing introspective rollers, quirky club beats, and unexpected pop samples into sets that are as emotional as they are eclectic. With roots in the DIY grindcore scene of Mid-Michigan and a deep connection to the Midwest’s historic music culture, His sets don’t just stick to one genre—they pull from a wide range of influences, using both traditional and polyrhythmic mixing techniques to keep things fresh and unpredictable. For Nate, DJing is a form of resistance, creating a space where music brings people together and sparks moments of euphoria.

Spinning house, UKG, jungle, doof doof, donk, disco, IDM, breaks, mutant beats, ironic top 40 samples, and folk music from around the world.
