Business Description:

V.I.P. Chicago is a promotional entertainment company supplying profitable, positive, audio and visual entertainment to a diverse, international consumer group. V.I.P. is committed to wholesome entertainment across the board and firmly believes that quality entertainment can be realized without compromise.

V.I.P. Chicago distinguishes itself through the commitment it undertakes with each of its associates. Dedicating our finances toward reliable and timely pay for our staff we naturally attract more of the most prolific and engaging team members helping us execute marketing and promotional music events that ensure the highest quality outcome within established budgets.

It is owned and operated by Hector Vargas, also known as DJ Vargas, and although we have over 25 years’ experience within the music industry, this office located at 3505 W. Fullerton in Chicago, opened its doors in 2008.

Offering its clients a variety of services including sound and video set ups for various occasions, video and editing for everything from family montage videos to all out music mega mixes for dancers and radio advertising. We also have the V.I.P. street team Dj’s that play and promote at a variety of events.

 Although we hire temporary staff this is a sole proprietorship. Our bank services are through Credit Union 1 with their main branch located in Lombard Illinois. Our Liability Insurance is handled by Liberty National and payroll and all tax accounting is with Prada and Associates at 2653 N Milwaukee Ave, Chicago, IL. All office records are finalized and preserved both digitally and hard copy. All day to day operations including advertising and weekly payroll is based on commission and taken care of by Mr. Vargas.

Monthly salary varies depending on the number of events, and so additional staff brought on is paid as “work for hire”. What they are paid will depend mainly on the service or product required from them.

V.I.P. Chicago is composed of two internal divisions: The V.I.P. DJ’S and V.I.P. Chicago Street Team Ambassadors. Additional income is produced from our street team ambassadors division with distribution, merchandising and concert promotions. With each event successfully executed we create valuable short-term streams of revenue enabling V.I.P. Chicago to grow with its staff of M.C. Ambassadors.

What We Sell:

Up until now we have concentrated on our DJ service, but with our client database increasing into other regions we are finding ourselves involved in other projects including marketing and brand ambassadorships which Create brand awareness throughout Illinois on various products with In-store promotions and local community events. Hector Vargas is also dabbling in the acting field and has been featured on the Chicago fire Television series on several occasions. Through the Jane Filo Casting Agency he is now also working with Chicago P.D. and Chicago Med T.V. programs.  

This diversity has created an additional stream in income which will help with future advertising and avoid any outstanding debts placed on the business.

With the VIP Chicago DJ Service we basically have two different packages our clients can choose from, with additional add-ons available for each.

Basic sound system, 12" speaker with carver power amp is $250; you can add lights for $50. This package comes with 1 mic; typically caters 20 to 50 guests.

Artist Bio

  Few artists can rival the standards and excellence achieved by Dj Little Angel Vargas over the past 25 years. He is truly one of the Chicago's most widely respected DJ's and promoters. For two consecutive years, 1989 through 1991, Vargas was named the number one club DJ of the year and featured as one of the defending champions during the Navy Pier festivals sponsored by Coca Cola.  His induction into the music scene came with the release of two dance singles, Friends and Dance With Me Tonight, released on the Code Three Record Label. Later he began to perfect his unique style at such well known nightclubs as the infamous Mothers on Rush, The Drink, Club Vertigo, Zero Gravity  and The Cubby Bear. He later spread his talents toward promotions working with  major labels including up and coming independents by establishing The V.I.P. Chicago Record Pool, a music club and promotions company dealing exclusively with up and coming talent throughout the U.S. and abroad. If you love dance music, you probably remember him as one of the pioneers of the W.C.R.X. Radio Hot mix show where he was featured as one of the original members of The Magnificent Seven's Mix Team. Also established by Little Angel is The V.I.P. DJ Service and Audio Visual departments of V.I.P. Chicago ready to make your next event a success.
