I'm a soulful house music lover first. Hip hop is a close second. I'm a lover of any style of music that makes you feel good and makes you get up and dance. New - old...it doesn't matter.
Born and raised in Chicago south side Disco Dan began his journey as a DJ in 1983. He began spinning at basement parties and high school proms before he attended high school.
In 1985 Disco enrolled into Mendel Catholic College Prep. At that time Mendel was well known for their bi-level house parties and Disco knew this was his passion. One of the most memorable parties Disco ever witnessed was the night Jamie Principle and the Hot Mix 5 performed on stage. That's when Disco fell in love with house music. Years later Disco met Jeff Sims, a resident DJ of the Warehouse Nightclub on Randolph & Lake Street. Jeff introduced Disco to Ron Carroll who was looking for a DJ to open for him at his birthday party. Without listening to one of my mixes, Ron Carroll asked Disco to open for him at the Warehouse. That was his big break and he ran with it. Ron was so impressed he later asked Disco to open for him at clubs like The Clubhouse, Kabooms, The Generator and The Spot.
In 1992 Disco tampered a bit with radio on W.K.K.C. 89.3 At that time the style at the station was mostly underground and tracks. Disco gave the station a broader variety of style with his deep disco mixes. He made friends with Lloyd Dev(ChicagoHouseRadio.com), Gerald "Jam Master K"(WorldVibeRadio.com), Ray Dilla, Hugo H, Walter "Get Down" Brown and Romell "Chilly C" Carter. From that point Disco kept a tight bond with Lloyd Dev, Gerald "JMK" Kelly and Ray Dilla. Years pass by and Lloyd Dev introduced WWW.CHICAGOHOUSERADIO.COM to the world in 2004. Disco was brought on as a resident Saturday night DJ and Mid-West Correspondent. Disco now had the ears of the world to listen to his vibe and took advantage of it.
Whats good everyone. I'm on a mission to spread the house gospel. I will do my best to post a new mix or favorite songs in a 60 minute session every week. Stay tuned and Keep House Alive!!!
