Man, this was a solid night.  It was a highly-anticipated event, as ARTBAT are red-hot at the moment, and the crowd came out in strong numbers of support.  What a vibe in there -- it was a pleasure to prime that room and see so many of you connecting with what I played, including some new releases on Vested Recordings, plus some super fresh selections along with some timeless favs.  Here's what I captured of my set, I hope you all love hearing it a second time around.  Or, in case you missed the show, here's part of what you missed out on.

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 The Mine Music Hall CHI - 06Dec2019 - [ARTBAT Supporting Set]

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.
