Most people look one in the eye to try to sum up a person’s soul or read emotions. To read Brian, you would be wiser to listen to one of his sets. Brian's range of emotional expression is wide and deep and his sets reflect what he is feeling at that moment. Whether his set is comprised of the jazzy, soulful grooves of content and harmony, or the hard hitting intensity and angst of industrial techno; at the end of the day, to Brian, it's all HOUSE. 

People have described Brian as, "a big ball of energy, giving himself over the turntables, as he tries to let the spirit be it". That kind of spiritual energy, focus, and drive has lead Brian to his current position among Chicago's finest. Brian gained knowledge of the underground sound while he worked as a buyer at Chicago Record store staples (Hot Jams, Hip House, WaxADDICT) from 1999-2006. During that time, Brian made many connections that lead to a series of successful residencies and bookings at various Chicago Venues, Lofts, and club nights such as; Mad Bar (Music-101), Boom Boom Room, Darkroom, Smart Bar, ROOTS, Sub-T, I Love House Music Wednesdays, along with many others. 

For the past two decades, Brian has consistently performed throughout North America alongside some of the greats for packed crowds in internationally recognized venues. He dipped his hands into the realm of theater in 2000, when he worked with Asylum 137 on a dark theatre production featuring European and Native American clowning. The diverse soundtrack encompassed house, techno, classical opera, and a "cirque du soleil" style of music. Through ownership of Soul Foundation Recordings in Las Vegas, a highly respected collective of artists based in Chicago with a global following, Brian is dedicated to reviving what some would say has “been lost” in house music. 

With productions on labels like Farris Wheel Recordings, Minuendo Recordings (Spain), RealDEEP Recordings, Thought Records & remixes on Black Error Recordings (SA) or his own imprint Soul Foundation Recordings, this Disc Jockey/Producer is undoubtedly tied to music as a part of his being. According to him, "Music is the only religion I have; it definitely saved me." Whether Brian is spinning or producing, his sound is unmistakably from the soul...

Act One, the debut full-length from songwriting duo Marian Hill, was written and produced in its entirety by Jeremy Lloyd (music/lyrics/production) and Samantha Gongol (music/lyrics/vocals). The multi-talented duo, who have been collaborating in one form or another since high school, have shifted the classic paradigm of a woman on a stage and a man with a piano to a woman on a mic and a man with a laptop -- and the results are seductive and vivid. Tempting paradox with a blend of blues and bass, acoustic and digital, classic and modern, Marian Hill have arrived.

Two years ago Sam and Jeremy wrote and recorded “Whisky” over spring break in Jeremy’s parents’ basement. When they released it for free on Soundcloud later that summer it was the only song they’d written for the project, and in a little over a year’s time they had recorded their first EP in a bedroom, amassed millions of plays on various platforms, sold out shows across the country and featured in high profile commercials. They signed to Republic Records in early 2015, released the Sway EP, and settled in to write and record their debut album over the course of the following year with a plan to push their unique sound to its fullest potential.

For the first 50 seconds of “Down” you might think you’re at a supper club in the 1920s, but when the bass drops out of nowhere you couldn’t be anywhere but 2016. Act One then takes you on a journey through the complexities of modern relationships, with each song inhabiting a specific and charged relationship lyrically, melodically, and sonically. “I Know Why” constantly transforms and reinvents itself as the vocals grapple with a secret while “Mistaken” is the hardest of sax trap with a classic songwriting backbone. “Same Thing” is the saddest part of the album, a haunting ballad depicting serene resignation of a doomed relationship, but castanets rise from the ashes as “I Want You” closes out the night in a pure moment of optimistic electricity, a glance across a crowded room that changes everything.

Marian Hill’s one of a kind sound is present throughout — blues harmonies blend with sparse hip hop drums, horns blast under classic vocal melodies, and soloistic vocal chops sit side by side with clear, intimate lyrics. You’ve never heard this before, yet it’s surprisingly familiar. And it’s only the beginning.

"Mixes are time capsules of sound.  Each capturing a moment in time that will not be repeated the same way.  Each mix is meant to transport the listener in their own time machine to their own destination.  These are soundtracks for daily living..."
