nova, celebrating the timeless artistry of composer, pianist, and songwriter Antonio Carlos
Jobim. Known for his elegant melodies and cool, understated rhythms, Jobim helped transform
Brazilian music into a global phenomenon.

This special performance highlights the breadth of Jobim’s catalog, from beloved classics
including “The Girl from Ipanema,” “Wave,” and “Corcovado (Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars)”
to deeper cuts like “Waters of March,” “O Grande Amor,” and “Para Machucar Meu
Coração.” Blending familiar favorites with lesser-known treasures, the program offers a rich,
multidimensional portrait of Jobim’s legacy.

With warm harmonies, intimate textures, and the breezy charm of authentic bossa nova, the

About:

If you were around during Chicago’s underground House Music movement or Rave scene in the late 80’s and early 90’s, then you’ll be utterly familiar with the name Julio Bishop. Whether from appearing weekly on some of the hottest party flyers throughout the Midwest or because you had a copy of his now infamous mix tape, “Love Nation” sold out of all the local record stores, the name Julio Bishop is synonymous with jacking dance floors since 1987.

Getting his start as a dancer and DJ in Chicago’s nightclubs and warehouses, but soon expanding his influence; from NYC to LA, to the beaches of Miami, Puerto Rico and Mexico, Germany and Sicily, Julio has been bringing his deep, mystifying grooves to the world for over 3 decades. His intimate knowledge of classic Afro-Latin and Jazz, , as well as his acquired proficiency of Disco, Electronica, Club & Deep House takes his sets far outside the realm of what is attainable by a greener selection of DJ’s.

Funneling his talents into the studio in the early 2000’s, Julio helped launch RealDEEP Recordings, along side label partner Brian Cullen (aka Bjak) where, together they paved the way to further coproductions and solo projects on labels such as Deep Explorer Music (Madrid) and Eargasmic Recordings (Chicago).

With more releases on the way and a selection of upcoming gigs scheduled between Chicago. Puerto Rico, LA & Hawaii, you’ll want to keep your eyes peeled for what’s to come next from this proved House Music veteran.
