What an incredible night this was.  Played a 2 hour peak time supporting slot for my old friend and turntable mastermind: Jody Wisternoff.  If you were there, you already know what happened -- sheer bliss and pandemonium that night from the moment the doors opened to when all the lights came on at the end.  This was one of the best sets I've played in 20+ year DJ career here in Chicago, and it felt incredible to get this one under my belt.  

Press play and turn it way up.

Tracklist forthcoming.

RJ Pickens - Live at Spybar Chicago 30SEPT2023 [supporting set for Jody Wisternoff]

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.
