Craig Alexander has been a staple in Chicago House Music for over 20 years. His love for the music began in the early 80s when he attended The Muzic Box where he heard the Legendary Ron Hardy play for the first time. Listening to Ron helped him develop a style all his own that has rocked dance floors all over the world. initially starting out as a promoter he quickly began manning the decks as a headliner as more people caught his sets. His smooth style and "not the norm" selection made him a Chicago household name. He's played alongside everyone from Glenn Underground, Paul Johnson & Dj Rush to Lil Louis. His musical journey has taken him to several places including France, Switzerland, & Germany to name a few. He has has projects on Unified, Shack Music London, Trackmode and Dusttraxx to scratch the surface of the labels he's worked with . His soulful grooving style will have you moving from the beginning of his set to the end. With the launch of his new label Oblique Records he's about to stir up more diabolical house mayhem.

When one looks back into the history of Chicago House Music, one man's name seems to pop up in many scenarios. That man is none other than Gene Hunt, a legend to those who know where House Music has come from, and an innovator to those who are new to his sound. His landmark track, "Living in a Land" is considered by many to be one of the best Chicago Acid House tracks. Gene about the track: "It was just another night in Chicago. I was at the house hangin' with Robert Owens and I decided it was time to hit the studio. I grabbed my 909 and we headed over to Armando's place to borrow his 707 and 303. Armando had left his 303 at Adonis' place so he jumped in the car with us over there. Adonis wanted to come with, so he grabbed the 303 and the four of us drove out to the suburbs to record in Mark Imperial's studio. A few hours later 'Living' was done!" Another seminal Acid House track was "Acid Trax" by Phuture (DJ Pierre & Spanky). When Gene was doing a residency at Photon, Pierre & Spanky swung by and asked him to come mix this track they just laid down. An original demo version is said to have clocked in at almost sixty minutes long and Gene's edit is the only one that made it to vinyl. The rest is Chicago House history. With tunes out on Trax, High Octane, Housetime, Nite Life Collective, and Contaminated in America, as well as gracing European labels such as Hybrid, Djax, Loop, Svek, Trainspotters Nightmare, Nepenta, Pro-jex, Step 2 House, and Primate with several seminal releases. This man is truly an innovator and continues to pave the way for Chicago and the rest of the world's music to come.

Aaron’s versatility as a producer, DJ, promoter and label owner have kept him at the forefront of underground house music since 1992. On the decks, he crafts deep, soulful, funky, spacey sets that take audiences on an aural journey. As a label owner, Aaron embraces tracks steeped in nu-skool funk and uptempo groove. In whichever realm he works, the Brooklyn-bred artist intertwines a soulful commonality into his electronic sound. It’s house music understood on all levels. Aaron began his DJ career in 1994, after years of promoting famed New York Clubs such as Tunnel, Twilo, Sound Factory and Limelight. Soon after, he relocated to Philadelphia, where he began regularly DJing at local and regional clubs. Through his promotional work at the renowned Fluid Nightclub, Aaron hosted international such as Andy Caldwell, John Howard, Julius Papp, Onionz & Joeski and MFR, among others. In early 2004, Aaron translated the success of his promotional career into the launch of a new music label, Dae Recordings. Unlike his own, self-branded style of ’soulful funk,’ Aaron signed on house tracks rooted deeper in uptempo funk. ‘It’s gotta be funky,’ he said on signing tracks for his label. Now ready to drop its fifteenth release, Dae has been making a big splash in deep house circles, building up a hefty and talented roster on its way. In 2005, Aaron deepened his own music career by relocating to Chicago. Producing and performing in house music epicenter has pushed both Aaron and Dae Recordings to the forefront of the music scene, sharing the stage with talent such as Derrick L. Carter, Miguel Migs, Mark Grant, Gabriel Rene of Soulstice, J-Boogie, Hipp-E and Qustlove of the Roots. In addition to dropping his spacey, soulful sound on audiences, he continues promoting events across the country. At Miami’s annual Winter Music Conference, Aaron successfully hosted ‘Floatin’’ for two consecutive years. The sold-out vessel carried 300-plus party-goers and featured three separate rooms of live DJs. His outdoor day party, Sun-Dae, also remains the best-attended day party in Philly. While Aaron draws influences from the classic likes of Masters At Work, Todd Terry and Joey Negro, he also infuses elements of electro and soul. Artists such as Schmoov!, Crazy Penis, Spirit Catcher, Hot Toddy and Fanatix have all defined an aspect of his playing style. The result is a deep house blend of disco, funk, soul and space that takes audiences on a journey. ‘My live sets are about the journey,’ he said. ‘I like to take people on a trip.’
