After listening. to Dillon’s new album “Money Sucks Friends Rule” it was clear to me I wanted to see him when he made his tour stop in Chicago. That says a lot considering the last time I saw Dillon in Chicago he played at the Aragon Ballroom with Excision and both were disappointing to say the least. Since then Dillon has released several hit tracks; “Messages” and “Get Low” just to name a few that lead to his album release.

Trippy Turtle was a nice surprise as the opening act right before Dillon came on stage. He played a nice mix of 90’s rap songs with a trappy remixes and mash ups. The crowd responded well and got down to the funky beats.
From the moment Dillon came on, dropping the black sheet covering up his intricate stage set up, it was clear it was going to be a great show. He started out with “I Cant Believe It’s Not Butter” which matched the already high energy the crowd was projecting. Dillon did nothing short of facilitating a high energy house party in a mainstream event with 5000 of his closest friends. The whole set was fun. The confetti drop was great and having the whole venue sing along to ” When We Were Young” brought everyone together.
Check out the handful of pictures i took from the balcony before rushing downstairs to join the party.




So I’ll start this off by saying I got tickets to this show for free, that alone kinda made me think twice about going. I had heard of Feed Me before, heard some of his tracks and thought it was decent, but not enough for me to pay to see him. So granted, free show, lets see how he is live. The Aragon for the first time that I’ve seen wasn’t packed for a dance show, which was odd and I understood why people were giving out free tickets. Needless to say the acts leading up to Feed Me were mediocre, I was basically counting down the minutes until Feed Me was on. The minute the curtain dropped to reveal Feed Me’s stage set up, which were giant LED teeth shaped screens, I was absolutely amazed. This man is a UK Duster genius, completely blew me away, by far one of the best shows I’ve been to in a few years. The vibe was great, the track selection was on point, all in all Feed Me should have been a sold out show. I definitely recommend ANYONE if you have the opportunity to attend a Feed Me show, you wont regret it.
