Chicago-based producer, DJ and Vested label boss RJ Pickens is the mastermind behind today's Guest Mix.

With roots as a longtime participant in Chicago's electronic music scene, RJ Pickens is now helping shape the future of the Windy City's dance music. With over 20 years of DJ experience and tirelessly pursuing the perfect mix of deep, progressive, tech-house, and house sounds, he rocks rooms ranging from intimate to large, and can go from being the supporting act of choice of many notable global headliners (such as Eric Prydz, Artbat, Hernan Cattaneo, Guy J, Chus & Ceballos, Eelke Kleijn, or Jody Wisternoff, to name but a small few out of many) to being the headliner himself. The popularity of his FloorControl radio show and podcast continues to grow every month, while his thought-provoking edits, remixes, and productions are beginning to make some waves in the dance music world. Also, with years of experience in nightlife marketing & promotions, event production, and talent buying, RJ has launched own nightlife event brand and record label - VESTED - aimed at producing and supporting forward-thinking electronic music events and music releases, and further shaping the US scene. Tune-in to what RJ's got going on. You won't be disappointed.

Some artists exude total and unapologetic passion for their craft. Full immersion, absolute dedication and complete commitment; a calling much more than a career, a love much more than a labour, the realisation of a lifelong ambition.

An ambition like Tom Marshall’s. A fan favourite on the roster of renowned UK label Anjunadeep and one of the breakout stars of the melodic house scene, Marsh has sculpted a distinctly warm, emotional sound since he first emerged in the mid-2010s. Inspired by his teenage love of the emotionally rich, early 2000s trance sound and the musicality of crossover drum & bass acts like Pendulum, he’s distilled these disparate influences into a captivating and soulful signature style.

Anjunadeep The Yearbook 2023

Here's my London fabric 'All Night Long' set... all 5 hours of the set, from open to close... it's a journey from deep house, through full-send 2000s trance and everything in between, and I hope it brings back some great memories for those who were there. This night was extremely special for me, definitely one of my favourite sets of 2023... you guys were amazing, relentless energy from start to finish! I wasn't sure whether to make this set live or not as there are a few hidden gems in here, but so many of you have asked I couldn't help but oblige! 

I've really loved playing these extended sets, and I can't thank you all enough for coming with me on these journeys, dancing for 5 or 6 hours straight, bringing the vibes and keeping me going - I couldn't do it without you! ❤️

DJtheJudd - Progressive House Highway 487 (19 March 2024)

The folks over at the esteemed Proton radio and label camp did me the honor of asking me to submit a guest mix for their VS radio show, and I was happy to oblige.  I put some time in and crafted something exclusively for them, and is a snapshot of some really amazing music that's out there right now, both new and old, with a surprise or two thrown in, and also some production work of my own.  I'm proud to have this showcased on such a prolific curator's avenue.  Press play and turn the volume up loud -- perfect vibes for the beginning of our 2016 fall season.  

And as always, if you're feeling this, please like / favorite / repost / comment / share!  :)

RJ Pickens - Proton Radio VS Guest Mix Sept 2016

Hello, fellow inmates! 🔐 I crafted and live-mixed a really fun 2hr set for this month's episode of Vested pres: FloorControl Radio, and I’m pretty pumped to share it with you all!  While I’m a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to what I post music-wise, this mix is not perfect, but it really embodies a place I’m in musically right now, and reflects feelings of being caged-up that we’re all feeling.  Great new music on here, a few old favorites, a few of my own production handiwork, and a great flow of rowdy tunes will set the pace for you.  Pretty happy with how it turned out!

As always, if you're feeling this, please hit me with a like / favorite / share / repost / or all of the above!

Much love from a safe distance,
RJ

Jeff Ozmits // ELEVATION 060 w/ RJ Pickens

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.
