John Simmons // Chicago // Vocalo // Style Matters DJs
with Beaubien // YVR // Carte Blanche // Save on Radio
Veteran Chicago DJ John Simmons brings his signature Chicago and funky house sounds to the Special Projects Space at Fortune Sound Club. Entry via advance tickets only
Having a solid foundation in disco/boogie, golden era hip-hop, R&B, & jazz, John caught the house music/techno bug in the early ‘90s & soon found himself immersed in Chicago’s then thriving underground/rave scene.
John has played alongside many of the industry’s greats, including Frankie Knuckles, Farley “Jackmaster” Funk, Juan Atkins, Derrick May, Derrick Carter, Mark Farina, Paul Johnson, Moodymann, Mark de Clive-Lowe, Kaytranada, & many more. His several year stint as a resident DJ at Smartbar in Chicago was a highlight that saw him sharing the stage with some of these giants on a regular basis. John has traveled well, performing outside of Chicago in New York, Detroit, Miami, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Montreal, Mexico City, Berlin and Cairo, bringing his signature Chicago and funky house sounds to every destination he plays.
