Olivier Weiter - 2021 Yearmix

RJ Pickens x Hummingbird:  We are excited to share our set from the Vested/Auris presents: TRANSITIONS NYE event we played alongside Yotto & Spencer Brown. We had such a blast, and are so grateful to have had the opportunity to ring in 2022 playing the music we love for such a fantastic crowd, when just a year ago this wasn’t even an option. 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! 
Much love — RJxHB

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.

More About R.EK

R.EK - L'Ouverture Du Bale #17 (live @Hive 15012023)

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 -

Cream - Terminal 050 @ Proton Radio (June 2015)

This is my supporting set for Joris Voorn on his Spectrum North American tour -- I had the honor and pleasure to kickoff the musical offerings on the very first event of the tour in Chicago.  

Despite an injury, feeling pretty off-center, and no opportunity to musically prepare for this set, I showed up and just did the best I could.  And you know what?  It was totally worth it.  It felt great -- not perfect by any means, but felt great nonetheless.  What I played was well-received by those in attendance, and most importantly by Joris, who had a nice thing or two to say about things when I was done.  This set will always stand out in my memory for many reasons, and I couldn't be happier to share this set with you all.  

As always, if you're feeling this, please hit me with a like / favorite / repost / share / comment / retweet / or all of the above. The support from all of you is what keeps me moving forward. Thank you!

The Anjunadeep Edition 236 with Tim Engelhardt

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

Live @ Spring Awakening 2019

I've had the pleasure of playing with Jody in CHI quite a bit over the years, but I don't think I've ever seen him play a set quite like this one.  He came to play, and frankly, so did I.  Warming up the main room for Jody's 3 Hour journey in Dolby Atmos was a privilege, and the night was pretty stellar from start to finish.  Dive in and see what you missed, or replay this portion of it to enjoy again.  I even got a "That was lovely, mate" comment from Jody on this set, so it was nice to know he was feeling it too.  :)

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.

RJ Pickens - Live At Sound - Bar CHI - 15Jun2019 [supporting set For Jody Wisternoff]

live recording of my 2h set last week (Jul 7) at OMNIA Dayclub Bali / Indonesia

Martin Roth live @ Anjunadeep Open Air Bali - OMNIA Dayclub

There's some DJ sets that feel like you step right into the zone from the moment you mix in your first track, and those sets feel damn good.  This was one of those.  Big thank you's to everyone who was there for this stellar night of music, which started with my Chicago brother-in-arms, Duke Shin, continued with me, and culminated with a true masterclass treat of a set from the one and only H.O.S.H.!  Nights like this one make me proud to do what I do.  If you were there, press play to relive this part of the night...  and if you weren't, jump in and enjoy a taste of what a lovely evening it was.

RJ Pickens - Live At Spybar CHI - 09Aug2019 [supporting Set For HOSH]

Leading Mexican label @DuroLabel welcome countryman @Rigopolar with four  fantastically expansive and expressive disco tunes.

The now US based Rigopolar is a cosmic explorer and space sound aficionado with credits on the likes of Tom Tom Disco dating back five or so years.

‘Time’ is a lush cut with plenty of glistening and glowing synths. Always ascending through the mix, they lift your spirits and hands in equal measure while the deeper drums keep your feet moving.

PREMIERE : Rigopolar - Espiral (Original Mix) [Duro]
Buy: https://durolabel.com/album/we-are-one
Release Date : 2019-09-27

Leading Mexican label Duro welcome countryman Rigopolar for four of his fantastically expansive and expressive disco tunes.

The now US based Rigopolar is a cosmic explorer and space sound aficionado with credits on the likes of Tom Tom Disco dating back five or so years. His mix of disco and techno has taken him to gigs round the world, podcasts for Soma and remixes on the likes of Beat is Murder.

Brilliant opener ‘Black Mantis’ is a spooky cut with a mysterious lead that takes you into a mystic forest. The drums move things on as sci-fi sounds and withering synths add details to this most evocative musical story. ‘Espiral’ is a colourful, psychedelic scandi-disco classic with looping arps taking you ever further into the stars. Its craftsmanship is second to none as it draws you deeper and deeper in.

The scintillating ‘Time’ is another lush cut with plenty of glistening and glowing synths. Always ascending through the mix, they lift your spirits and hands in equal measure while the deeper drums keep your feet moving. Last of all is ‘Crashes’, a slower and more melancholic track that is paired back to a steamy vocal and rolling drums. A poignant one-finger melody brings tenderness to this brilliantly introspective closer.

This is an exceptional trip though timeless disco with a difference.

PREMIERE : Rigopolar - Espiral (Original Mix) [Duro]

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.

RJ Pickens - Live At Spybar CHI - 04Oct2019 [support For Dosem]

For the past 2 decades, RJ Pickens has been a leader in building and growing Chicago’s melodic-driven electronic music scene. 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.  RJ’s record label and music event banner — VESTED — has become synonymous with top-tier progressive electronic sounds.  Vested Recordings, while a relatively young label still, has seen remarkable support from some of the very best artists in the industry.  The event showcases produced under the Vested brand have been consistently showcasing the finest quality in its music bookings for the last 10 years. 

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.

If you haven’t yet, tune in and turn it all the way up.
