Vintage Thursday's at Spy Bar
Special E.D. is a dynamic duo that features two of Chicago’s most innovative DJs. Longtime friends Elias Younan and Daniel Maric established Special E.D. with a simple goal in mind: Exploring the world with headphones on. By morphing as one with the crowd, Special E.D. hopes to create memories across the world through a unified love for global house music while highlighting the well-known Chicago sound from city to city and country to country.

With the goal of becoming a global brand, Special E.D. emphasizes its presence in unique intimate Chicago venues such as its Thursday night residency, “The Exchange,” at Jbar Chicago. Within its first year of existence, the duo opened for acclaimed DJ/Producer Nic Fanciulli during his SAVED tour at Chicago’s famous Spy Bar and established its name as a genuine grass-roots, organic-house duo in the Chicago music and club scenes.

Special E.D.’s reputation has even carried them across the U.S. border into Toronto. In 2011, they have already begun production with original releases slated for the coming summer. Househeads can expect to be floored by the duo’s releases as well as performances, which will always feature a well-rounded selection of music, both proper and improper use of technology, and a vigorous stage presence.

“The organic mind frame allows convention to be broken and ushers in innovation and individuality,” says E.D. But what is the organic mind frame?

As told by E.D., the organic mind frame is simple – you do it how you like it. It’s not forced or rehearsed; it involves capturing the moment and putting out exactly what you feel. What inspires this experience? Elements like environment, crowd energy, personal mood, the crazy child inside bursting out as it should, and everything in between. Organic is when something is natural and occurs freely. Then you take it in, accept it, and let it continue its natural path. This is a behavior and lifestyle that Special E.D. encourages and applies to its global mission everyday.
