‘Chicago is always super fun,’ says DJ Jerac

DJ Jerac brings his ever-popular cheerful musical style that, well, makes party-goers never want to stop dancing to the annual Northalsted Market Days, running August 10-11 in Chicago.

He will be spinning at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday on the ViiV Dance Stage, powered by Hydrate Nightclub.



“I’m super excited to come back (to Chicago); I can’t wait,” said Jerac, 33, who lives in Miami and brings 12-years of DJ experience. He was last DJing in Chicago in March.

“Chicago is always super fun; I love playing there, especially with the energy (of the crowds).”

DJ Jerac has many residencies across the U.S., including Alegría (NYC), Kinetic (Washington D.C.), Urge Festival (Miami), L.P.N (Miami), Bunker Club (Washington D.C.), Ky Martinez Events (San Francisco) and Daddyland Festival (Dallas), among others.



“A good DJ must know how to read the audience,” Jerac said. “I have always loved music and (being a DJ) has been my hobby.”
