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.

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.

I've been very excited for this mix and another step in The Organic Journey project, featuring music from yours truly, Wassu, Krasa Rosa, PROFF, Avoure, Amonita and more!

The Organic Journey - Reflections Trail

Narik - Ecstatic

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 -

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.

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.

Select Cuts 195: Nico Morano

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.
