THIS SATURDAY 1/10 - DERRICK CARTER, CLUB CHOW, GIGI SA3ID

One of the pinnacles of Chicago house music’s ‘90s wave, Derrick Carter began DJ’ing at the age of nine, spinning disco records at family reunions. Born and raised in the western suburbs, Carter was into music from a young age, but during his teens Chicago’s house scene sucked him in for good. Before long Carter became a strong presence in the city’s underground dance scene. He got by working at dance-music specialty stores like Gramaphone and gigging at parties. Later he landed regular DJ stints at Shelter, Foxy’s, and Smart Bar. Though he doesn’t spin much locally anymore, when he does he attracts large crowds. Most of the time he works in Europe, where he’s become a minor celebrity among dance-music aficionados. Derrick’s sets are rooted in house, but he freely travels outside club tastes, seamlessly incorporating old-school disco, soul, jazz and whatever catches his fancy.

Gant Garrard aka Gant-Man is a DJ and music producer from Chicago who is mostly known for mixing and creating House, Ghetto/Booty House and Juke/Footwork style of electronic music. From producing EP’s and regionally released mixtapes, Gant is recognized as being one of the main key innovators of Ghetto House and Juke Music. Gant, (alongside DJ Puncho who coined the word Juke and it’s usage) spawned a new genre from fans calling this sound “Juke music”. During that time, Gant also began releasing House music EP’s under the pseudonym Gant Garrard to separate his Ghetto House and Juke tracks from his House music tracks.

From the infectious energy of the opening track to the powerful anthems that follow, DJ PHATS takes listeners on a journey through soundscapes that are both familiar and refreshingly innovative. Hailing from the vibrant streets of Chicago, Dj Phats immersed himself in the legendary House music scene, drawing inspiration from the city’s iconic DJs. The breakthrough came with the release of the infamous “Trac # # # 4 The Playaz” on Dance Mania Records, marking the debut of Dj Phats’ freshman album, which included the standout track “I Wanna Slut. “ Now, Dj Phats makes a triumphant return, solidifying his position in the Chicago House Music scene.

In 2014, he bought his first Pioneer controller and a fresh copy of Ableton 9, instantly becoming addicted to the process of using wonky beeps, squishy basslines, and deep kicks to create music that reminded him of the founders of the Chicago House scene.
