  2. 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:
  3. 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:
  4. 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!

  17. December 21st - Vision Presents: Friday Detention with Robert Babicz In the last few years there has been a proliferation in the amount of people producing really good techno, acid, minimal and everything in between. The majority of these producers are new, but Robert Babicz (aka Rob Acid) is an example of an older producer that has managed to stay relevant by reinventing his sound (to some extent). Many of his new tracks have that trademark acid sound, but what we are listening to is most definitely acid for the 21st century. This man is not stuck in the 1990s, him and his machine drum are moving with the times. The last year or two have seen a series of quality releases for Babicz on labels like Punkt, Treibstoff and K2, making him a producer to keep an eye on. Robert Babicz is one of the leading names in techno currently, and with many of his releases being played by major artists (John Digweed, Sasha, and more) it's no surprise that he has made quite the name for himself. Be sure not to miss the debut performance of Robert Babicz at Friday Detention!

  20. October 26th - Vision, VOLATL, Siteholder, and No Affiliation Presents: Friday Detention Halloween Show with Marco Carola & Christian Smith Born in Naples on February 7, 1975, Marco Carola has emerged in the last four years as one of the city's most influential exponents of Techno and electronic music. Growing up in the Neapolitan sunshine, by the age of 13 he got behind the skins of his first drum kit which he played for several years before ultimately being addicted to buying and playing records. In 1990, when the Italian House scene was enjoying its golden age along side the madness of Acid House, Carola`s drum kit was rapidly replaced by a two record player set and a mixer where upon he practiced the art of mixing and learned how to dj to House music's new dancefloor rhythm. Born in Stockholm, the DJ/producer has spent the last decade working relentlessly to bring his amalgamation of funky house and tribal techno to a global platform. Although Swedish by birth,Christian spent much of his youth in Frankfurt, Germany,where his father was stationed as a pilot, and this turn fate played an unexpected role in determining his musical tastes. His sense ofdiversity and unwillingness to adhere to one dimension is an ethic Christian believes is inherent in the worlds finest DJs. Christian was most inspired by Carl Cox and Laurent Garnier.

MAIN ROOM: Carl Cox [www.carlcox.com] Avex Axiom Mike Brankis October 20th - Vision, Majestic, & In Your System Presents: Radio Slave feat. Jjack Hogan - Rekids Fall US Tour No matter what sounds you profess to be your music of choice, chances are, that at some point over the last five years, you will have got your rocks off to Matt Edwards. As Matthew E he fashions club-based, dancefloor slayers. Under that aegis he’s updated the classic Chi-town, jackin’ sound beloved of house aficionados and layered it with fractured funk, belligerent, oddball beats and mechanical soul. If Matthew E is all about the Saturday Night Fever, then, by contrast, Rekid is the slower, more deliberate, rhythmical funk of the mid-week mayhem. Its well-intentioned muscular intensity making it perfect soulful sustenance. Last, but by no means least etc, etc, etc, is Radio Slave. Perhaps Matt’s most instantly recognisable nom de guerre, thanks in part to his inspirational melding of Kylie’s Can’t Get You Out Of My Head to New Order’s Blue Monday, this is Matt’s DJ moniker and the guise under which he completes his incendiary remixes and re-edits. However, before such sonic schizophrenia gets you calling for the men in white coats, just feel the quality and consider Matt’s legacy. Fired by the first wave of acid house, Matt gained his musical spurs by partying to dance music that was just that: music you danced to, irrespective of tribal factions. Get ready, as Radio Slave takes over the decks at Vision for a special Saturday show and come see for yourself why he is one of the most in demand producers and DJ's around right now!

Growing up in the Neapolitan sunshine, by the age of 13 he got behind the skins of his first drum kit which he played for several years before ultimately being addicted to buying and playing records. In 1990, when the Italian House scene was enjoying its golden age along side the madness of Acid House, Carola`s drum kit was rapidly replaced by a two record player set and a mixer where upon he practiced the art of mixing and learned how to dj to House music's new dancefloor rhythm. Born in Stockholm, the DJ/producer has spent the last decade working relentlessly to bring his amalgamation of funky house and tribal techno to a global platform. Although Swedish by birth,Christian spent much of his youth in Frankfurt, Germany,where his father was stationed as a pilot, and this turn fate played an unexpected role in determining his musical tastes. His sense ofdiversity and unwillingness to adhere to one dimension is an ethic Christian believes is inherent in the worlds finest DJs. Christian was most inspired by Carl Cox and Laurent Garnier. Although both DJ’s arequite different what Christian saw in Carl was the ability to mix continuously between three turntables, and create that musical fusion.
