Good morning.
It’s Friday so we’re listening to something more upbeat. Today we’re listening to Gene Farris, an American DJ and producer from Chicago. In the ‘90s he started DJing at clubs in his hometown, focusing on house, acid, and disco.1 He taught himself production and sound engineering, and started releasing his own music. We’re playing two of his albums that showcase his talent for selecting and flipping samples: Copa Cabana EP from 1998 and This Is My Religion (his debut LP) from 2000. He also has a bunch of great live sets on YouTube, including a Toolroom Miami set from April which opens with Robin S vocals over Radiohead.
