SATURDAY JULY 5th Markus Schulz Vision | 632 N. Dearborn | Chicago Event Info::VisionNightclub.com Tickets :: Wantickets.com/Vision Markus Schulz is a man that can’t stop and won’t stop. His rise into the DJ elite is what dreams are made of, and with Markus Schulz – the dreams are rapidly becoming reality. If one were to mount an organized campaign within the dance music community for doing away with genre tags such as trance, progressive or house, Markus Schulz would be its poster boy. Fusing elements of many different genres into his music, the ‘Markus Schulz’ sound is at once easy to identify yet hard to describe. As sounds go, it also happens to be remarkably appealing to a wide range of dance music fans. A headliner and a headline maker, you only have to scan the gig review pages and forums to know he’s doing something right. Whether it’s his presence, musical choice, judgment, or all 3 combined – it works and he’s forever building on it. Markus is currently knocking at the door of the DJmag Top 10. Having risen to a position of #13 in just 3 years, the money is on as to whether that door to the infamous 10 will open for him this year. There is something in the air that leads us to believe it will. Sponsored by:

SATURDAY JUNE 28th Steve Lawler Vision | 632 N. Dearborn | Chicago Event Info::VisionNightclub.com Tickets :: Wantickets.com/Vision Steve Lawler is a definitive DJ and producer, renowned as one of the world’s premier and most respected talents. His rise to the top has been the result of pure talent and dedication to playing and producing the finest quality house music first. It's been a steady rise from the infamous 'motorway raves' of the early ‘90s, to his legendary residency’s We Love and VIVA at Space in Ibiza, Viva Harlem Nights at The End in London, and his Lights Out and VIVA tours of North America. Lawler continues to build an ever-growing band of avid followers who pack out any venue that bills his name. He is one of the most powerful touring brands in electronic music – period. Steve Lawler was once hailed the pioneer of twisted house, but his sound has evolved through the years although the main elements still remain, meandering through deep, dark, sexy house tracks. Still evolving, and as always still innovating, Lawler will be at the fore front of global dance music for many years to come … Sponsored by:

SATURDAY JUNE 21st Infected Mushroom Vision | 632 N. Dearborn | Chicago Event Info::VisionNightclub.com Tickets :: Wantickets.com/Vision Infected Mushroom is an Israeli psychedelic trance duo. Formed by Erez Aizen and Amit Duvdevani in the city of Haifa, located in north Israel, the duo has garnered a large international fanbase. Infected Mushroom are known for their consistent sonic evolution exemplified by the subsequent albums The Gathering (1999), Classical Mushroom (2000), B.P. Empire (2001), Converting Vegetarians (2003), IM the Supervisor (2004), and Vicious Delicious (2007). In 1998, Aizen and Duvdevani began playing together. At first they released a few tracks as Shidapu & Duvdev. These tracks were 'happier' and of the simpler side of trance. Later on, they formed the duo Infected Mushroom and started working on their first album. The name Infected Mushroom was chosen to commemorate a disbanded (1989 to 1993) punk rock band of the same name, which Amit had admired. Guitarists Tom Cunningham and Erez Netz joined in 2004 - Tom plays with Infected Mushroom in the United States, while Erez Netz plays the rest of their gigs. Netz is a famous guitarist from Israel, and he opens their live shows with some electric guitar exhibition. As of 2007, Infected Mushroom has also brought in Brazilian percussionist Rogério Jardim to play drums and percussion during their shows. In 2007 Infected Mushroom rose to No.9 in the influential DJmag Top 100 DJs poll,[2] where they were also the highest psy-trance DJs. As detailed on UK website HarderFaster.net (a media partner in the awards who exclusively released the results online at midnight), this was the first time the category had been created, reflecting psy-trance's rising popularity around the world and the huge role that pioneers Infected Mushroom have played in this. “We’re an electronic band,†affirms Amit “Duvdev†Duvedevani, singer and co-founder of the Israel-bred, Los Angeles-based psy-trance duo Infected Mushroom, “but when we became a full live band onstage, the reaction was so powerful that we knew we were inventing something new.†The dynamic, shaven-headed Duvdev and his flowing-haired partner, Erez Eisen, have been playing to increasingly massive, frenzied crowds all over the globe, thanks to an explosive live show that is a far cry from the staid stereotype of dance acts hunched over their computers. With Duvdev bouncing all over the stage and exhorting the crowd to belt out the lyrics, Erez virtually dancing with his keyboards, tour guitarist Tommy Cunningham (or, on selected dates, Israeli axemaster Erez Netz) firing off metallic riffs and Brazilian drummer Rogerio Jardim boosting the Mushroom’s programmed beats with propulsive polyrhythms, the band has whipped audiences worldwide to a fine froth. Come see these boys lay a proper beatdown on the Vision Sky dancefloor!
