elrow Chicago: Hallucinarium

Get ready as elrow brings its latest immersive concept, Hallucinarium, to Chicago—the birthplace of house music—for two unforgettable nights on Friday, November 29th, and Saturday, November 30th, at Radius Chicago. This multisensory event promises to transport attendees on a cosmic journey, seamlessly merging the surreal and spiritual through music, art, and performance. Inspired by the visionary works of Alex & Allyson Grey, Hallucinarium is set to be one of the year’s most extraordinary experiences.

Imagine stepping into a world where reality dissolves, as colossal sculptures and hypnotic backdrops welcome you into a mystical landscape pulsing with cosmic energy. Drawing from the Greys’ iconic depictions of human consciousness, sacred geometry, and interconnectedness, the entire venue will transform into an awe-inspiring, dreamlike realm. Every performer, adorned in costumes crafted by Alex & Allyson Grey, embodies divine symbolism—from dancers with glowing third eyes to stilt-walkers with iridescent wings—leading guests on a journey of pure imagination.

The musical heart of Hallucinarium is as stellar as its visual elements, featuring a powerhouse lineup of world-class DJs who’ll shape an unforgettable sonic journey across house, techno, and tech-house.

Friday’s lineup features the dynamic duo Manda Moor and Sirus Hood, the visionaries behind Mood Child. Known for their unforgettable, groove-driven sets, both artists have played at iconic venues like Hï Ibiza and Café Mambo. Manda Moor has made a name for herself with standout performances at Jamie Jones' Paradise and releases on labels like Hot Creations and Kaluki, while Sirus Hood’s signature sound has helped establish Mood Child as a worldwide staple in dance music.

Joining them is elrow’s resident Toni Varga, a seasoned Spanish DJ and producer whose career has spanned over 15 years and seen him play legendary venues like Amnesia, Ushuaïa, and Pacha. VNSSA, known for her stirring performances, has played major stages such as Coachella and Electric Forest, drawing fans in with her versatile, dynamic sound.

House music duo Walker & Royce will also take the stage, bringing their distinct style, honed through collaborations with artists like Claude VonStroke, Chris Lake, and Gorgon City. Known for their remixes of Channel Tres and LP Giobbi, Walker & Royce have blown away crowds at global festivals and events, with support from industry heavyweights like Maceo Plex and Gorgon City.

Rounding out Friday’s lineup are Coco & Breezy, Aluna, and RIKA B, each adding their special touch to the unforgettable atmosphere.

Saturday’s lineup promises another night to remember, joined by the enigmatic German DJ Claptone. Known for his golden, beak-like mask and eclectic sets, Claptone captivates audiences worldwide. His renowned Ibiza residency, The Masquerade at Amnesia Ibiza, transformed Tuesday nights into a mysterious, immersive masked ball experience. Joining Claptone is Darius Syrossian, a respected figure in the house and techno world with a philosophy rooted in the genre’s core sounds. With releases on Moon Harbour, 8 Bit, and Hot Creations, and his acclaimed Moxy Muzik label, Syrossian brings depth and authenticity to every set.
