Hello, friends around the world.

I wanted to give a very special shoutout to all all the Trance Nation fans, trance addicts, trance lover & trance enthusiasts here in magnificent Chicago. I'm becoming more and more part of the local scene in the Windy City. As I've been out & about in recent weeks it has humbled and amazed me the amount of people that approach me to tell me how much they love Trance Nation and love & appreciate what I do.

The honor is mine.

Anyone that loves trance is a friend of mine. Anyone that loves Trance Nation is a friend of mine. It's MY great honor to meet YOU.

You Chicago trance lovers have shown & proven yourself to be the most loyal, most cool & most fun club goers in the entire city. It's always wonderful when we come together as one to support another national or international trance DJ that visits the Windy City. I know they must remember Chicago because your energy and enthusiasm and love is almost beyond belief and truly amazing.

The VIP area at a club is what it is. It's there for people who wish to pay top dollar to have a more exclusive viewing area for the night's festivities. I've been there. I'm in & out of there on most nights. But I can tell you - the place to be is on the dance floor with you. In that melee, in that love fest with the most gorgeous trance enveloping you is the happiest place on earth.

There was a time when there was little in the way of a trance scene in Chicago to speak of. There was a time when house music & hip hop ruled the club scene here.

How times have changed.

Very smart promoters such as Pure Chicago and Tri-State are bringing the biggest trance talent week after week now to the Windy City and giving club goers always something to look forward to.

I became sick with the flu this past week. But I'm recovering at the moment. Thank you for your well wishes.

I look forward to giving you and giving it my all at Vision on Saturday, October 3rd.

Peace. Love. Unity. Respect.

John
