Gossip Wolf has been tearing it up at Chicago clubs to the mixes of legendary DJ Teri Bristol since the mid-90s. Fellow enthusiasts of late-night booty shaking no doubt remember her epic sets at Medusa’s, at Smart Bar, and alongside Psycho-Bitch at Crobar’s Sunday-night G.L.E.E.

To raise money, a slew of friends and top-notch DJs—including Greg Haus, DJ Heather, Jeff Pazen, Jevon Jackson, Boy Alberto, and Blu 9—will spin at the One Love for Teri Bristol fund-raiser at Smart Bar on Saturday, March 28.
