Spundae at Vision
You could argue that Spundae, a national promotion crew based out of San Francisco, has taken the first step in becoming SfX for clubs, especially since, with the inception of Chicago’s Spundae events, the promoters now put on events in five cities. Whatever. These Saturday nights at Vision have consistently brought internationally known DJ talent to the city since June, the likes of Crystal Method, Sasha, Seb Fontaine and John Digweed. And just to make sure it didn’t step on anyone’s toes, Spundae started the nights off right, featuring Chicago-bred DJs Sneak and Derrick Carter. In a culture not known for lasting power, Spundae has taken little time to dig itself some pretty deep roots.
