About CITYDJ AKA DJ CHRIS S

(1984-The Enlightenment) - He was 14 yrs old when house music invaded his senses. Leaving him clueless as to what was taking place in his young life. He was hypnotized by repetition, continuous 4 bars, and farley keith. Not yet a witness to a live set, he could hear that tarzan call, and that train passing thru his brain every day. He became an introvert, leaving his weekends for the hot mix 5. He would record the sets religiously, and his mother would wonder what all this is about. He knew something she didn't....why? It was for the blend, that love 2 tracks had for each other as they became one. He knew his calling, he knew that mixing tape decks wasn't enough for him. He had to learn about that feelin that moved him. So he goes on his quest to become a (DJ). He hears about a record shop that could help his cause, so he goes to Imports(downtown chicago) and there before him are hundreds of records. He looks around, then leaves..not before seeing a record label that said Precision records and a number. (1985- The Culture...Seeking knowledge) - "Damn this music is fast and deep" He said as the record said " come on let roll the rest of the tape now". Ron hardy, and the music box showed him a different side to deephouse. He would go back to the southside with a little more knowledge...the power to move the crowd, and he wanted that. Mendel, leo, academy of our lady, any south loop hotel party...he was there. (1986- He became (DJ CHRIS S) - He got his first set of turntables, and becomes an introvert again retreating to his bedroom...now called "The lab". Tryin to blend dum dum, with on and on.
