Summer is here, which means we’re outside — not just on the beach, but in the club, too. That’s why we’re revisiting our conversation from the fall with CaSera Heining, aka DJ Ca$h Era. As one of the busiest DJs in Chicago, Ca$h Era gives us the scoop on some of the best parties and spots, tips for building a set list, and when it’s okay to request a song from the booth.
Spots mentioned:
- D.S. Tequila Co.
- Chop Shop
- Everyday People
- Salt Shed
- Le Nocturne
- Scarlet
- Cerise
- Broken Shaker
- Promontory
- Ramova Beer Garden
- Tao
