"FRESH" electronic sounds

Bi-monthly Saturdays hosted by TRUE FAMILY UNIT
In conjunction w/ SOUL PHONETICS & HOUSE UNLIMITED

Saturday August 30th...


RON CARROLL Azuli / Body Music
Starting off his career in the early 1980’s spinning at his own dance club The Bangin’ Enterprize on the South Side of Chicago,
Ron Carroll, just two years into the game, was opening for Lil’ Louis, Mike Dunn, and the legendary Ron Hardy. From his beginnings in
House Music he wanted to use his experience singing in the church choir and sing Gospel lyrics over House tracks. From this desire came
his early work on Clubhouse Records in collaboration with Ron Trent, Big ED, Hula & K. Fingers on tracks like “My Prayer” and “A New Day”.

CRAIG ALEXANDER Dust Traxx
Born on Chicago’s south side, Craig has been DJ’ing for 17 years (1983) and producing since 1987, beginning his music excursions at the
legendary Music Box. He has been heavily involved in the industry as a promoter, DJ, and producer. Succesfull releases include...
Buckwild In Bucktown, 12" (Dust Traxx), Groove Mission Remixed By Paul Johnson, 12" (Dust Traxx), Power Of The Groove, 12" (Dust Traxx)
Soul Revival EP, 12" (Transparent Records Inc.) Appearances: Watch Me on Sounds Of Chicago, 2x12" (Dust Traxx) Little Jodi on Octane Rating
98.1, 2x12" (High Octane Recordings) Wonder Boy's Revenge on High Octane Compilation, Octane Rating 2000.1, 2x12" (High Octane Recordings)
Big Boom Theory on U60311 Compilation Techno Division Vol. 3, 2xCD (V2 Records, Inc.)

SEAN SMITH House Unlimited
Sean is ranked among Chicago ’s top DJ’s as well as producers. Sean began spinning at the age of 13, and has since perfomed with legends Farley
Jackmaster Funk, Armando & Ron Carroll. Look for his new releases on Smooth Agent Records. Also stream some of Seans excellent mixes off of
Deephousepage.com

BRYAN BALLI Chi. Houz Project / True Family Unit
TFU Co-Founder - Mixing hard knocks, deep basslines, and introspective vocals, with jazz, funk, & ol' school influenced house. His sets bring up
energy levels while maintaining deep inlying content. With 8-years dedicated to the Chicago scene, Bryan has honed his characteristic deep sound at
numerous clubs and raves throughout the midwest. He hosts a bi-weekly Saturday night at Chicago's Fiesta Cantina, promoting names like Bernard Badie,
Melvin Meeks, Ron Carrol and Oscar McMillan. 2001 saw his first record release "You Know It" on the Chi. Houz Project Label, and he is currently
in the studio w/ 19th & Morgan.

CORDELL JOHNSON Soul Phonetics / Nu Bang Clan
Cordell Johnson is considered to be one of the smoothest, most knowledgeable djs in Chicago. He has been spinning records since 1981, his sophomore
year in high school, listening to and learning from the city's pioneers, like Farley "Funkin" Keith (later known as "Jackmaster Funk") on WBMX's radio
show, and Frankie Knuckles and Ron Hardy at the Power Plant, COD's and the Underground. They proved inspirational enough to send him on this nonstop
journey in pursuit of his passion for playing out as often and for as long a set as possible. Hearing Cordell is believing.

KENNEDY OCTANE Sole Junkies
In these modern times of seperation amongst house music, Kennedy tries to take the contemporary underground house, acid jazz,
downtempo, brazilian bossa, tribal and original afrobeat music to it's highest tweekable level.With absolutlely no desire to play the norm or
most obscure, plus blessed with that rare unaldulterated ear for dope beats and music, Kennedy plays his music strictly and only from his heart
which easily helps him filter the junk and release what he likes to call his Octane sound.
