I had the honor and pleasure to rock Concord Music Hall for a sold-out night where we welcomed our re-release into the wild with a full-capacity indoor event, coming off of a really difficult 15 months for us all.  The room was brimming with excitement as we all got together on a dancefloor once again, with me and ARTBAT at the controls.  This extended opening set checked quite a few boxes for me.  It showcased lots of material released / forthcoming on my label (Vested Recordings), it set the vibe on an upward trajectory that I was super happy to curate, it celebrated us all reuniting, and it made wonderful statement for my amazing home city of Chicago with a sold-out weeknight show.  Big thanks to the team at Auris Presents for having me deal this room a small beating, and huge thanks to all of you who showed up in full force.  Together we made it an epic night to truly remember and took a big step in putting 2020 behind us.

Super happy to finally be getting this one up to share, and I hope you love it as much as I loved playing this out for you all.

Press play, turn it up, and as always, if you're feeling this, please hit me with a favorite and/or a repost. If you were there, you'll get to relive a piece of the night. If you weren't, perhaps this will motivate you to catch my next one. *winky face*

Decoded Vol. 2

What an incredible night this was.  Played a 2 hour peak time supporting slot for my old friend and turntable mastermind: Jody Wisternoff.  If you were there, you already know what happened -- sheer bliss and pandemonium that night from the moment the doors opened to when all the lights came on at the end.  This was one of the best sets I've played in 20+ year DJ career here in Chicago, and it felt incredible to get this one under my belt.  

Press play and turn it way up.

Tracklist forthcoming.

I was asked to asked to warm-up the room for Jeremy Olander's Vivrant showcase at Sound-Bar in Chicago, and I was happy to do so.  Jeremy is an artist who's work I've now been a longtime fan of, and it's been pretty awesome seeing his star rise over all these years.  On this special night, I set the tone for the first 2.5 hours, and it truly felt like one of those few-and-far-between events where everything was fully cohesive from start to finish.  Killer vibes all night, and palpable electric energy in the air.  I wish they all could be like this every time.

Anyway, I'm really happy to share this set with all of you, as I know I'm overdue on posting a fresh mix...  And that being said, this is a pretty damn good one to be putting up.  It's stacked with a mixture of super fresh cuts, some tried and true selections with staying power, and I peppered in some fine selections from the Vested Recordings label catalog, some of which are forthcoming releases and got some great reactions from all of you in attendance.

Press play, turn it up, and as always, if you're feeling this, please hit me with a favorite and/or a repost.  If you were there, you'll get to relive a piece of the night.  If you weren't, perhaps this will motivate you to catch my next one.  *winky face*

Cheers,
RJ

RJ Pickens - Live At Sound-Bar CHI - 16Feb2019 [support For Jeremy Olander Vivrant Showcase]

I made this forever ago. I don't understand why I never released it!

OddRac - Understand

Recorded live at Spybar Chicago - 04Oct2019
[supporting set for Dosem]

It was truly a pleasure to share the lineup with the mighty Dosem.  Most impressively, he has such a dynamic range in his sounds and productions, spanning from deep to house to tech to progressive, this guy can really do it all.  It felt really great for me to be able to cover a bit of ground myself, continue building the room and get some great reactions on so many of these selections I played (including a couple of Vested Recordings tracks).  We mic'd the room that night too, for added bonus, and you can hear some parts where people were really connecting with what was being played.

Thank you all who were part of this start-to-finish stellar night of music.  Those of you where there can press play and relive a bit of this great night again.  If you weren't there, here's what you missed.
Press play and crank it up.  

As always, if you're feeling this, please hit me with a Like / Favorite / Repost / Share / Comment, or all of the above!
Cheers, and thank you all for dancing with me.
