2013-05-23 - United States of Bass - 01 - DJ Spinn vs. DJ Rashad (Juke Trax, Planet Mu, Hyperdub) @ Santos Party House - New York
Though simmering for years in the stew of Chicago’s nascent footwork and juke scene, the sound of DJ Spinn & DJ Rashad‘s frenetic 808 programming and deftly sliced r&b loops has turned into an epidemic in recent years, informing the trajectory of club music the world over. DJ Spinn and DJ Rashad’s skills behind the turntables, honed from years playing after-school footwork battles, provide the perfect soundtrack for adrenaline-fuelled, 160 BPM dance mayhem. In March 2013, Rashad was enlisted for an EP release on Hyperdub, serving as yet another step on the duo’s path to take the sound of Chicago’s juke movement global.

2013-05-23 - United States of Bass - 02 - DJ Funk (Ghetto House Legend, Dance Mania - Chicago) @ Santos Party House - New York
Now how to describe the one and only DJ Funk? Pioneer? Party out of bounds? Ghetto house icon? Growing up on the musically rich west side of Chicago, DJ Funk was exposed to Chicago, New York and Detroit dance music at an early age. Developing from these influences, he started out as a teenage DJ at house parties, school dances, neighbourhood clubs, and selling mixtapes in the hood with his Do Or Die crew. Hip hop also was a big influence on DJ Funk and with his early DJ sets he helped push it into Chicago’s club scene, back when it wasn’t popular or mainstream. Mixing house, techno and hip hop, Funk pioneered his ghetto house and Booty House Anthems sound, and this sense of crossing boundaries has made his music so appealing and enduring to many people across different musical scenes.
Chicago’s underground music and ghetto house legend live and direct from the US of Bass. Explicit lyrics. Parental advisory needed!
