8/16/2018. It was a Thursday. That was the last time I had the good fortune to bring the #ModernVintage sound to @arbellachicago, which in my absence has remained one of the best, most beautiful and most underrated spaces in River North. Before the last midterm elections. Before lockdown. Before HEAT. Before their expansion remodel. These days, Arbella Thursdays belong to the prolific @quicktastic1 who hosts the Quicktastic Voyage weekly selector series, which showcases some of the best talent our DJ community has to offer. I don't know how I got so lucky to end up in such company, but this Thursday 3/3 it'll be Quick and Jivefresh taking all who attend on the voyage. Dress is stylish. Cover is zero. Bring vax proof and wear comfortable shoes. You will be dancing. I've so missed playing this space. And I have no idea when I'll be back. Come see how I make up for lost time. #SoundsLikeFun #giglife #weoutside #thesoulpops #chicagonightlife #instagood #rivernorth #choosechicago #rivernorthchicago #chicagobar #djsofinstagram #logansquaredj #chicagosocial #chicagosocialclub #chicagodj #chicagodjs #nightlifestyle #nightlife #nightlifechicago #socialite #tastemaker #chicagoinfluencer #djJivefresh (at Arbella) https://www.instagram.com/p/CanjZURLqB5/?utm_medium=tumblr

🚨NEW VENUE ALERT🚨 It's been a long 2+ years since @basker465 and I last bonded over our shared love for timeless music and the audience our culture created. And while we've moved the party from west loop a little coser to gold coast, the energy remains I'm honored and excited to join the artist roster as the newest resident at @themarvelchi. I'll be calling this room home *every 4th Thursday* ...but there's nothing like your first time. Thurs 1/27, 9pm. I hope to see all your faces there. #SoundsLikeFun #ModenVintage #giglife #weoutside #thesoulpops #cruelwinter #chicagonightlife #instagood #choosechicago #chicagobar #djsofinstagram #logansquaredj #chicagosocial #chicagosocialclub #chicagodj #chicagodjs #nightlifestyle #nightlife #nightlifechicago #goldcoast #rivernorth #magmile #socialite #tastemaker #chicagoinfluencer #djJivefresh (at The Marvel Chicago) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZO0LKvr-NC/?utm_medium=tumblr

Welcome to anniversary weekend! I'm proud to celebrate two milestones: I have been the music director at The Walk In since January 2019. Also, this weekend marks 13 years since my first professional payday as a DJ. Sending love as always: To @dombrwn for the first opportunity, To @mikemfnlove, @jp_gunnz, @cease_g_duprey, @blucu for being my greatest inspirations, To my contemporaries, my peers and elders, my fellow musicians, artists and selectors for the encouragement, advice, support, example and inspiration. You are the steel that sharpens my steel To @billpollackmusic, @brittwhitfieldchicago @therevelgroup @treblemonsters, @tsachicago, @frostchicago, @bcreventschicago & every client, owner, sound engineer, event planner, producer, talent buyer, manager and venue that gave me the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive while doing so; and of course To all of YOU for keeping me going. Through 13 years as a pro & 5+ self-employed, through every change and challenge I never saw coming, I'm still here because the love from y'all is the only thing that's ever rivaled my love for music. If you wanna celebrate with me, I'll be at @cirachicago tonight from 7-10 before heading home to @thewalkinchicago for sets tonight and Saturday, both beginning at 1030pm. Anniversary week concludes with #SoundsLikeFun, my monthly event at @punchhousechicago, next Wednesday 1/19 at 9pm.
