Currently being renovated, Spy Bar is situated on North Franklin Street, near St Vincent’s Hospital, in Chicago. An intimate basement vibe, all manner of top flight DJs have appeared there from varying genres — from Deep Dish to Paulo Mojo, James Zabiela to Chicago boy Derrick Carter and beyond.

“It feels like a club of friends,” observes Rising Music’s Chris Lake. “When I played there I felt like I connected with every single person in the club.”
