The Swedish – born prominent DJ who tore up the charts with his number one hits , “Years” and ” If I Lose Myself” dominated the spotlight on Saturday, November 23 performing live at Aragon Ballroom.
Thousands of fans lined up on the street as they anxiously waited for the line to move, trying to stay warm due to Chicago’s notorious weather. I’ve attended several concerts at Aragon since React Presents changed their main venue from Congress to Aragon. Nevertheless Aragon has an intergalactic ceiling that creates an illusion as if you are star gazing at the night sky while you dance away to the music.
Illuminating lights filled the venue as Chicago raised twin duo Milk N Cookies warmed up the crowd with their electro/ house music.
Luminox followed as the audience cheered as he performed his mix of ” Welcome to the jungle” by Alvaro , ” Cannonball” by Showtrek and Brick Squad Anthem by Mayhem & Anitserum . As well as a remix of 2chains and Drake’s song , ” No Lie ” , along with his original mixes that shook the walls from the incredible bass that pierced through the stereos.
Finally the time had come for international DJ Alesso as he began the show with his famous hit , ” Years” as the crowd raged to the familiar tune. You could feel the adrenaline rushing through the venue as everyone lost their selves to the sound of the high energy overpowering the night. The drops and transitions were smooth and clean as Alesso performed his brand new hit ft Calvin Harris , ” Under Control“. The audience were captured by his melodic music as they smiled and laughed gleefully throughout the whole night until the very last song. Alesso ended his set with “ If I Lose Myself ” which featured One Republic as the crowd roared for the amazing performance that was held that night.
