Openhouse Friday Night Sessions V.4 September 10th, 2010

:: DJ BRYAN JONES :: Control Recordings
...
Recognized as one of the top 45 of ‘Chicago’s Most Powerful People In Music’ by NewCity Chicago magazine - alongside the likes of worldwide hip hop star Kanye West and techno innovator Jeff Mills - Bryan Jones is considered one of the most exciting members of the city’s new breed. The magazine also credits Bryan, and his label Control Recordings, with having “helmed a crusade that has bellied into the clubs on the right and left coasts” and states that he played a major part in creating the fresh and energetic sub-genre dubbed ‘new-school house’ where his “chunky, funky bass is writing a new chapter in music.”

Born in 1981 and raised near Chicago, Bryan was bitten by the DJ bug at the age of 18 and quickly started releasing vinyl records thereafter with Mike Gillenwater under the ‘High Caliber’ alias. The duo’s highlight was the inclusion of their song ‘Shakedown’ on the ‘Playboy: The Mansion’ video game and accompanying soundtrack, mixed by Felix Da Housecat. Other projects were signed to leading house labels including Guesthouse, Moody, Robsoul and DJ Dan’s In Stereo.

As a solo artist, Bryan made his big mark with the 2006 underground house classic ‘Chicago Jack’. The record remains his most successful to date and catapulted him into the conscious of discernable house DJs, while also creating further work for Ministry of Sound, Om, Ultra, Nordic Trax and Aroma amongst others. i! Records commissioned his debut album ‘Step Back’ in 2007, a 15 track journey which was supported by a full DJing tour. Along the way Bryan has remixed huge artists like Kaskade, Todd Edwards, Kid Creme, Harrison Crump and Angel Alanis. These remixes, along with his original productions, have been licensed to countless DJ mix compilations the world over. His wide reaching sound has been championed by the cream of the underground house community such as Mark Farina, Derrick Carter and Doc Martin, through to household names Pete Tong, Paul van Dyk and Judge Jules.

‘Chicago Jack’ also kick-started Bryan’s Control Recordings, a label which has become a standard bearer for energetic, infectious, funky, jacking house music. The label has released music by the likes of Johnny Fiasco, Audiojack, Lee Mortimer, Paul Johnson, Santiago & Bushido, Manuel Tur, Joey Youngman and Gene Farris. Control Recordings reaches its 25th release in early 2010 and will also release a mix compilation entitled ‘Bryan Jones presents: Controlled Substance Vol. 1’. The mix will celebrate the label, highlighting the best it has to offer and will be available on CD and from digital download stores. A bonus unmixed version is also being released to allow DJs to get their hands on the definitive Control collection.

As a well travelled DJ, having played all over North America and Europe, as well as Japan, Australia, Russia and The West Indies, Bryan Jones is taking his sound on the road again in early 2010 with a worldwide tour in support of the CD. Booking enquiries for the tour can be made via AmyTaylorBookings@yahoo.com.

////////////////////////// DEEJAYS///////////////////////////

:: JONN HAWLEY :: OM Records, Large Music, Lingo Recordings

Music and dance have always been driving forces in Jonn Hawley's life. At age nine Hawley learned to play the saxophone, cello, and stand up bass. As a teenager music continued to shape the course of Hawley's life; in the late eighties he began break dancing. In 1991 Jonn started actively pursuing his love of music as a deejay. Hawley drew inspiration from the budding house and techno music scenes in Milwaukee, Chicago, and Detroit. His career as deejay was influenced by the sounds of brother Michael J and other deejays such as Derrick Carter, Ralphi Rosario, Mark Farina, Derrick May, Green Velvet and Fast Eddie. Hawley's musical talents were quickly recognized.

Along with playing at numerous raves he soon found himself playing at some of the most influential clubs in Chicago and Milwaukee, such as: Karma, Red No. 5, Smart Bar, Mad Bar, Dragon Room, Tom Tom, Three ,and Thai Joes. He was also named resident deejay at Milwaukees Summerfest in 1999. In 2000 Hawley decided to put together all the pieces of musical knowledge he had acquired throughout his life and dive into the world of production. In 2002 Hawley began releasing tracks using the aliases Under Origin and 5900 West. He also established Foundation 75, his production studio.

Then in 2003 Hawley launched his label, Soul Fuel Recordings at the Winter Music Conference in Miami, Florida. Currently, Hawley is busy traveling to deejay, releasing tracks on his own, as the Sound Navigators, and with partner in crime Marcus Aurelius as Organized Crime on various underground house labels and his own label Soul Fuel Recordings. Whether he is deejaying, producing, or running his label the one sure and unchanging characteristic of Hawley's style is this: He will never be ordinary...

:: TERRY GRANT :: Bedrock, Deep, Baroque

In 2005, Terry Grant released his first single on Bedrock Records. The song, "I'll Kill You" featured remixes by Luke Chable & John Debo, and was one of the most successful progressive tracks of the year. He would go on to release the follow up "Be My Guide" on Deep Recordings (with remixes by 16 Bit Lolitas & Derek Howell), and complete various remixes for acts including Darkarma and Blue Room Project.

2006 saw the release of "Komputers Are The Devil" on Bedrock, and since then he has maintained a steady stream of records and remixes for Nettwerk, System, Baroque, and others.

Recently, Terry has made a definite shift in terms of sound - moving away somewhat from the dark and brooding melody that defined his early work, to a more funky tech/house oriented sound. The result is new partnerships with the labels Night Drive Music & Neurotraxx Deluxe, both of which will be releasing new music by Terry in the upcoming months.

Aside from production and Djing, Terry keeps busy as a session musician, having played guitar on several cuts from the first record by Morgan Page, including the grammy nominated song "The Longest Road" (which Terry also remixed). This successful collaboration led to Terry playing all the guitar on Morgan's new record "Believe", which is out this spring.

A strong desire to push the limits of what he is capable of as a producer and a dj will keep Terry moving forward into the future, experimenting with sound, and practicing the disciplines of funk, melody, and rhythm.

:: TREVOR LAMONT :: Lexington, KY

Trevor Lamont has been a DJ since college in 1987. During that time house was starting to take hold within the Philadelphia scene. Temple University and the University of Pennsylvania would have parties which were half house and hip hop.

Trevor started playing records in 1987, and was influenced early by the likes of Frankie Knuckles and Louie Vega through his involvement in the club scenes in New York and Philadelphia. From avid club goer to aspiring DJ,Trevor has put his heart and soul in the music he loves..., House.

In the 1990's, Trevor moved to Lexington, KY, where he continues to DJ today. Along the way, he joined forces with Justin Long, Halo, Traxx, Sam-Me, and B: PM to form the Teamsters, a collection of DJs from around the Midwest united by their love of house music. During the mid 90's, the Teamsters became one of the dominant forces in house scenes across the Midwest. Beyond his work with the Teamsters, Trevor also worked as a member of the Soul Brothaz, another collective of DJs, which also included the East Coast Boogiemen and Sam-Me.

Trevor's love of jazzy, sexy, deep, underground house music, combined with his smooth, layered mixing skills have brought him gigs across the United States and Canada. Highlights include playing for Scott Henry and Charles Feelgood's world-renowned night Fever in Baltimore, and playing for some of the most renowned promoters in the industry including Ultraworld out of Baltimore and Liquid Groove out of Atlanta.

Over the years, he has had the opportunity to play alongside talents such as Derrick Carter, DJ Dan, Josh Wink, King Britt, Dubtribe, Onionz, Johnny Fiasco, and countless others.

Currently Trevor maintains a steady schedule of clubs dates and works as A&R for Headset Records. Stay tuned here for any and all updates!!!

Took a break for a bit after a few posts were taken down by google.
Let's get the party started with a new mix from an old friend.

Fred Everything Live @ OM Miami ( WMC) - 25.03.2010 by djmixes

Just over a month since undergoing surgery following a heart attack, Gang Starr MC Guru (born Keith Elam) has died at age 43. According to a statement, Guru died of cancer-related causes on Monday after a long fight with the disease.

Guru’s longtime collaborator and partner, French producer Solaar (sometimes referred to as Solar now), mourns his loss in the statement and explains that Guru had written a letter to his fans that was to be released upon his death.

“The world has lost one of the best MCs and hip-hop icons of all-time — my loyal best friend, partner, and brother, Guru,” Solaar said. “Guru has been battling cancer for well over a year and has lost his battle! This is a matter that Guru wanted private until he could beat it, but tragically, this did not happen. The cancer took him. Now the world has lost a great man and a true genius.”
