While we still face many challenges both globally and locally, things are moving in the right direction. As we progress into 2022, let’s ground ourselves in appreciation for the positive and find inspiration in what’s possible. In every new moment, the future is ours to create.

Press play and turn it up loud — and if you’re feeling this, please like / share / repost!

RJ Pickens x Hummingbird - TRANSITIONS NYE 2022 - Chicago 12.31.21

It was a highly-anticipated sold-out show, 3500 attendees strong -- we were added to the lineup to open the room for the esteemed Boris Brejcha. While we're a relatively new artist project born in the summer of 2021 with several well-received performances including a main stage slot at Chicago's brand new Arc Music Festival, we've wasted no time in carving out a road for ourselves in the Windy City and beyond.  The energy in this room was simply electric, and it was pure joy to do what we do for everyone there.

Press play, turn it up, and if you're feeling this, please hit us with a like / favorite / repost / share.  We're on a mission to make this world a better place - one dance floor at a time.

Portals & Parachutes - Live at Spybar CHI 14May2022 [FloorControl Radio Ep162 - MAY2022]

Had a really great time rocking this Chicago dance floor.  Thursday night show + sold out event = recipe for a fantastic crowd and vibe.  Awesome response to this set, from the first song to the last.  One of those special ones that you want to make sure and get up soon after because people have told you they want to hear it again.  So here we go!

Thank you to all of you who were there -- it was a pleasure to share in the journey with you all.  And was great to tee things up for Miss Monique in her Chicago debut.  What a nice performance from her, and also a warm-up with depth from IXTO.

As always, if you're feeling this, give it a like / favorite / repost / share!  Your help in sharing these sounds is much appreciated! 

Much love - RJ -

Jody Wisternoff Soundcloud DJ Mix Feb 019

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

With nearly 25 years of DJ experience and tirelessly pursuing the perfect mix of deep, progressive, techno, and house sounds.  He rocks venues ranging from intimate to huge, and can go from being the headliner himself to being the supporting act of choice for countless global headliners on the best club and festival events the Windy City has to offer.  RJ is also a principal collaborator in a recently-launched and acclaimed music act called Portals & Parachutes, taking first flight in post-pandemic 2021.

VESTED:  an adjective that means “to hold something completely, permanently, and inalienably — an unwavering commitment.”  In an electronic music sense, it simply means RJ is really serious about our party music, and his work on all fronts speaks for itself.
