John Summit returns for Northerly Island shows

Why it matters: The former accountant has an outsized social media following where he documents his sets from behind the booth and his many sleepless nights as a full-time traveling DJ.

Dig in: Earlier this week he stopped into a local Portillo's to play music and get "an Italian beef with hot peppers, extra dipped. I had a couple last night and I'm still feeling it," he tells Axios.

Hang out: He says he loves returning to his hometown because "I miss the music scene and I'm still friends with so many DJs here."

• "My favorite club is Spy Bar but also Radius where I am playing Saturday as well. I love that Chicago's still got such a great house music DJ scene."

If you go: Tickets are still on sale for Friday and Saturday shows or you can listen to his biggest hit "Where You Are."
