Paul Anthony

Chicago-based house DJ Paul Anthony shares his name with a performer who bills himself as the “ultimate hypnotist,” but the techno titan would likely top the pendulum swinger in a mesmerism marathon. Even if he were to spin concentric circles instead of records, Anthony could not get his audience any more entranced. His steady-pulsing programs ensure constant movement, but Anthony is a performer, not just a dance enabler. He scratches with hip-hop pizzazz, and he juggles his signature hard-funk beats with such skill that fans loudly whoop their approval. Local fixtures such as Anti-Spy, Timid and Andrew Boie fill out the all-night bill; call the info line on the evening of the event for directions to the venue.
