If don't know about this man, Green Velvet decided to drop out of college in the early 90's and make weird-ass Chicago house on a 909, while living out of his car. He soon released "coffee pot/percolator" under his alternate moniker, Cajmere, which became an instant classic. He went on to create two of the most innovational labels in house music, Relief and Cajual, which showcased burgeoning artists like Derrick Carter, Boo Williams, DJ Sneak, and Gene Farris to name a few. Relief and Cajual defined the sound of Chicago house to come with the seminal compilation "The Many Shades of Cajual" which influenced house producers the world over. He has since become one of the most prolific dance music producers in house history, releasing classic trax like "Flash", "Preacher Man", "La La Land" and "Shake & Pop".
This guy is no fucking joke and seeing him play is ridiculous. Between his jack trax, kookish live vocals, and his Riddick goggles with green lazers that shoot out, Green Velvet makes it happen.
Fuck Trance and party on.
