GREETINGS HOUSE FAMILY,

DJ ALAN KING

I am proud to be one of Chicago’s original house music DJs and to be regarded by many as among the “founding fathers” of house. In the late ‘70s and early ‘80s, as a member of the legendary DJ crew “The Chosen Few” (Wayne Williams, Jesse Saunders, Tony Hatchett, and Andre Hatchett), I was among the Chicago DJs primarily responsible during this period for popularizing the underground dance music that came to be known as “house music.” Before the creation of the "Hot Mix 5," the Chosen Few were largely responsible for introducing the underground style of dance music then being played by Frankie Knuckles at the Warehouse to largely straight, teen-age audiences in Chicago. Among other venues, the Chosen Few were resident DJs at The Loft, a club of historic importance in the birth and development of house music. Every July 4th weekend in Chicago, we hold the Chosen Few House Music Reunion Picnic, which has grown into one of the largest, most anticipated house music events in the world--often called the "Woodstock" of house music. Check out some Picnic video below. After a 15-year “retirement” from the scene, I returned to active DJing in the year 2000, and can now be heard at various clubs and underground parties throughout Chicago. I also have numerous mixes featured on the world's greatest house music web site, www.DeepHousePage.com. For my events calendar and latest news, please go to www.chosenfewdjs.com. Although my roots are in disco and deep house, I also lead the Nu Bang Clan (www.nubangclan.com), a collective of house music DJs around the world who are dedicated to advancing the cause of new underground dance music. I am also honored to be one of the featured DJs in the documentary film,"The Unusual Suspects:Once Upon a Time in House Music"
