Heroic Vers stepping into chicago" class="text-primary hover:underline font-medium" data-entity-link="venue">The Jackhammer Chicago for Back 2 Babylon is the kind of booking that sets the tone for Sunday in Chicago. Heroic.vers will bring a sharp mix of house and electro, backed by Knocktopuss and Floor Supervisor, for what looks like a high-energy session in one of the city’s most consistent venues for late-night dance floors. Back 2 Babylon has been reliable for pulling a crowd that knows how to keep the room moving, and this lineup should deliver.
Meanwhile, smartbar is hosting its Queen! Anniversary feat. Derrick Carter - Michael Serafini - Shaun J Wright, an all-star celebration featuring Derrick Carter, Michael Serafini, and Shaun J Wright. This trio has deep roots in Chicago’s house scene, and Queen! has long been a gem for disco-heavy nights with a crowd that knows what it’s there for. Expect timeless tracks mixed with the kind of energy that makes Smartbar a legendary space.
Over at Whistler, UNIVERSAL DIVAS brings a more niche but equally compelling lineup. Loqum will be showcasing footwork and ghetto tech, perfect for those looking to dive headfirst into Chicago’s unique electronic subcultures. Whistler’s intimate setting is ideal for a night that prioritizes connection to the music and the moment.
Finally, for something on the ambient and acidic end of the spectrum, etc radio is happening at a TBA venue with M50 in charge. This one leans experimental, so it’s worth keeping an eye on where it lands if you want Sunday to stretch your sonic boundaries.
The full lineup for Chicago tomorrow is at all Chicago events.
