Been feeling a lot of stress lately over COVID, deaths of friends, carjackings and senseless violence in my city. Was able to release some stress with this 2 and 1/2 hour session. Hope you enjoy the tunes!

Stress Release (August 2021)

Feeling very fortunate, humble and blessed these days.  Really enjoying and thankful for the moment I'm in on a lot of fronts.  Hope you enjoy this 3-hour session.  AK

The Moment (February 2022)

As I've gotten older it's become clear that nothing is as important as your health and your family - and not just biological family, anyone who you're fortunate enough to consider family.  I am thankful this holiday season for my girls and extended family, my trusted friends, my Chosen Few family, my SNL family, my law family, and my extended house music family.  Inspired today to record a mix for the first time in nearly a year and 3 hours later here we are...  Hope you enjoy it!  AK

Family (Thanksgiving 2022)

Been trying to find time to record since I got back from playing in Atlanta a couple of weekends ago with my man Stan Zeff and the Tambor Party family. No place beats Chicago when it comes to House Music, but I have to tell you that I am really digging the House scene down in the ATL. There's just a freshness and openness and focus on music and dance that seems to get lost sometimes here at home. And the Chosen Few DJs really feel the love whenever we visit. Be on the lookout for even more collaborations between Tambor and the Chosen Few DJs. I hope you dig this mix that was inspired by my latest trip to the ATL.  AK

DJ Alan King--The Drum (June 2014)

Alan King V103-Mix 1 (July 4, 2014)

Had a great time playing the city's SummerDance festival yesterday. House music and house heads always seem to bring out the best in our city. Here's a mix I recorded a couple nights ago as I was getting some tunes together for SummerDance. Enjoy!

Summer Dance (July 2014)

Wasn't planning to record again for a while, but I'm feeling inspired by some great new music, a great trip to Amsterdam and by the many exciting things going on for me individually and the Chosen Few DJs as a collective. I feel like I finally see the complete vision of where we're going, and now it's just about executing on the plan. I am "Taking Flight" baby!

Late Night Sessions (January 2015)

I don't always name my mixes and I never have a name for a mix before I record it. Usually at some point during the mix a name just comes to me based on the selections, the vibe or my emotions. So from me to you, with "Love."

AK

Love (March 2015)

Still coming down from the high that was the 25th Anniversary Chosen Few Picnic! We did it our way and it was everything we planned and could've hoped for! Best of all we were able to share it with our friends and loved ones and fellow DJs and artists whom we love, respect and admire and who have made major contributions to house music...and we gave our guests an outstanding show and an unforgettable experience! 

So please continue to "Celebrate" with me by enjoying my latest mix. Sorry, no downloads for now on this one, but play and enjoy!

Man, I am still on a musical and spiritual high after last weekend's Tribe Tambor Cruise!

I'm back on land, but I'm still Cruising!

Cruising (May 2018)

What makes house music so special is that in addition to its own unique sound, it incorporates the very best of other genres of music as well - including gospel. I hope you enjoy this 2-hour Gospel House Mix! AK

I couldn't stand the tension so I took what turned out to be a 2 and 1/2 hour music break tonight from watching the Senate election returns in Georgia.  It looks like it worked!  Glad I hit record.   AK

The Peach Mix (January 2021)

Known as a “lawyer by day, DJ by night,” Alan King is one of the early members of the legendary Chicago-based DJ crew, the Chosen Few DJs (now consisting of Alan, Wayne Williams, Jesse Saunders, Tony Hatchett, Terry Hunter, Andre Hatchett and Mike Dunn).  In the late ‘70s and early ‘80s, the Chosen Few DJs was a group of popular DJs from the city’s south side who played their unique brand of soulful dance music to huge crowds at Chicago night spots of historic importance in the birth and development of house music, including Sauer’s, First Impressions, the Playground and the Loft.  Alan’s influence on the house music landscape has been felt for more than 30 years, and he has been cited as an inspiration by countless DJs including legendary house music DJs and producers Frankie Knuckles, Steve "Silk" Hurley and Chip E.  Alan still regularly plays to rave reviews at clubs and events throughout Chicago and the U.S.  The Chosen Few DJs also host the annual Chosen Few Old School Reunion Picnic each July 4th weekend in Chicago, one of the largest and longest running house music festival events in the world!
