You mention you DJ -- you'll definitely want to check out Smart Bar, which has resident DJs and national acts (saw Glitch Mob last night). The aesthetic is techno house, underground hip-hop and occasionally goth/industrial.

And of course there's the infamous Metro (next door to Smart Bar) -- arguably the best music venue in Chicago. I'm seeing the Manic Street Preachers there in October. If you move here, it's only a matter of time until you see a show there.

Chicago is a great place. You'll really come alive here and feel inspired. All the best to you.

I didn't realize you had decent taste. You don't have to live in Lincoln Park or Wrigleyville then.

As an alternative to Lake View and Lincoln Park, try Bucktown or Wicker Park as a newcomer, then branch out into the less yuppified hipster hoods. Lot's of 22-year-olds over there too.
