How can you not let first 'interstate 55'  words define him: "Chicago Southside, that night in July 1995, House Music changed my life." 

From then on , he was part of the circle of press correspondents in Chicago for Coda and Trax magazines in Paris between 1995 and 1998 who interviewed some names as Paul Johnson, Derrick Carter, Cajmere, Boo Williams, DJ Funk, Dance Mania Crew...

25 years later, he decided to get back into the mix to promote the Underground between USA and Europe for getting in touch with people who share the same passion. How could we be more on the same wavelength ?

Lake Shore Drive Series | Episode 6

We're happy to host Interstate 55 duo as the next guest of our famous Apparel Radio Show. The Interstate 55 project was born of a friendship between two young students, Chris and Alex, at a warehouse party in South Chicago in 1995. Press correspondents for Coda and Trax Magazine between Chicago and Paris, the two guys helped promote the Underground sound in Europe, interviewing some of the greatest legends: Paul Johnson, Cajmere, Derrick Carter, Dance Mania Crew and more. 25 years after the most beautiful private parties, Alex returns to the mix to promote the underground once again, through various Radio Shows on SoundCloud, with current tones and the launch of a label planned for next year. Welcome to Interstate 55 and their mix, on the 255th episode of the Apperel Music's Apparel Radio Show.

Lake Shore Drive Series | Episode 7
Published: March 2024


Back to the Lake Shore Drive series, after two great radio shows at @housepediamusic and @apparel-music Thanks for your support! This new episode 7 will probably be the last mix published before a return to Chicago in April to meet up with Chris, friend and best partner. Special tribute to @spinzone_radio and @qjmpls, who offer the best selections and radio shows in the Midwest.

It will soon be a year since the SoundCloud page was created, with a simple goal: play, share and promote underground music. We'd like to thank all those who have supported the channel: all guys from MPLS, La Boîte Cookies and Léa Lisa, Housepedia, Apparel, and all those fantastic contacts who share the same love of sound.

Lake Shore Drive Series | Episode 7

House #Saladcast 944 - Interstate 55
Chicago (US) , Paris (FR)

The Interstate 55 project was born of a friendship between two young French and American students, Alex and Chris, at a warehouse party on the south side of Chicago in 1995. Press correspondents for Coda and Trax Magazine in Paris and Chicago for 3 years, the two boys helped promote the Midwestern sound in Europe, interviewing some of Chicago's biggest legends. The duo also helped book as many Chicago DJs on the Paris scene for public and private parties, and several bookings on major Paris radio stations. 25 years after the best parties, Interstate 55 is back mixing to promote the underground again on SoundCloud since last year, with "the Lake Shore Drive series", and several invitations on the best radio shows. This new set, mixed by Alex for House Saladcast, attempts to recapture the energy of the old mix tapes with a wide variety of tracks, often recent, but sometimes much older.  In a few days' time, Alex and Chris meet again in Chicago. The opportunity to relaunch the Interstate 55 project exactly as it was 25 years ago, promote the underground sound and prepare new musical productions on a new dedicated label.

Now live at the Blur Podcasts, the DJ duo - Interstate 55! 

Having met in 1995 at a warehouse party on the south side of Chicago, they became press correspondents for Coda and Trax Magazine in Paris and Chicago for 3 years, with the two boys helping promote the Midwest sound in Europe, interviewing some of Chicago's biggest legends. The duo then evolved into an artist collective that helped book several Chicago DJs at public and private parties on the Paris scene, and several bookings on major radio stations. 

25 years after the best parties, the Interstate 55 collective is back to promote the underground on SoundCloud since last year, with “The Lake Shore Drive Series” podcasts, several invitations on top radio shows, and the release of the first productions planned for next year.

Lake Shore Drive Series | Episode 14

The Interstate 55 project was born of a friendship between two young
French and American students in 1995, at a party in a warehouse on the
south side of Chicago. Press correspondents between Paris and Chicago
for 3 years, the two guys created a team of friends dedicated to
promoting the Midwest sound in Europe, interviewing the biggest legends
and booking many Chicago DJs for parties and major radio stations.

30 years after the best private parties, the Interstate 55 crew is back
at the mix, once again promoting the underground through the best Radio
Shows and the Lake Shore Drive Series on SoundCloud.

Follow Interstate 55 and keep yourself posted on their latest projects and djs sets around your city:

Interstate 55 | The Spinzone #157

A selection and soundtrack from a Journey for Alex and the Girls, mixed on return from a long road trip across several countries, with one ultimate destination: the Mentawai Islands, far away from everything. Far from the crew and friends, the I-55 projects, next radio show with Steve, and the planned US tour with Chris. A place where everything is different: the timeline, the colors, the beat. A huge source of musical inspiration, an opportunity to leave the influence of underground and the usual tempo for a trip into downtempo, electro, ambient, pop, and soul. A set full of colors and lights, celebrating the beauty of the Mentawai Islands.

This session is also a tribute to our legend @eddiec and the “Best Friends” series, one of the best radio shows on SoundCloud. So, two amazing tracks and two sample acapellas to thank you! 

Special shout-out to the locals of Mentawai, the Nasara team, Steve, Roberto for the magical sessions at the spots, Abdou and Leila for our cool chats and your aerial videos. And thanks to Paolos for the musical, touristy, and family-friendly clip on Instagram 💚

Press play, listen to the whole trip. But first, play it loud.

Lake Shore Drive Series | Episode 15
Nov 24, 2025


Special set for Episode 15 — first dropped last summer at our private Sodium party, had a few little tech issues that night. Ran it back at home for this radio show a few weeks ago with some fresh bombs added in. Straight up, no shame - full-on peak time vibes, planned out, samples and references all over the place. Made to bring the whole fam together that night. The dance floor was packed from 20 to 60. Playing at night in front of your own kids and your oldest crew in a house going wild, no cops until 6am, and enough ice all night for cocktails.

Was all about mixin’ the old and the young, keep everybody on the floor. Droppin’ Mr Fries for the old headz, Cardi B to keep the kids vibin' shoutout to Ralph Session. Played “You’re a Star,” hands down the dopest disco track ever, remixed this year by Brass Lamp. Hit up some tunes from Kold Kutz, “Soirée” a disco banger on Blur Records, old Fiasco track mashed with a new bomb from Manuel Costela, a smooth, deep landing with Hermit… Everything needed to show what we love and prove House Music don’t give a damn about generations.


Play it loud.

Lake Shore Drive Series | Episode 15

The Interstate 55 project kicked off from a friendship between two young French and American students back in ’95, during a warehouse party on the South Side of Chicago. Working as press correspondents for Coda and Trax Magazine between Paris and Chicago for three years, these two helped push the Midwest sound over in Europe. They interviewed some of the biggest legends — Paul Johnson, Derrick Carter, Cajmere, Gemini, Boo Williams, Dance Mania Crew. The duo also hooked up a lot of Chicago DJs with Paris gigs, both public and private, plus slots on major radio stations.

Fast forward 25 years from those legendary parties, Interstate 55 is back in the game, promote the underground once again — mixing current sounds with classic tracks through their Radio Shows and the Lake Shore Drive Series. Deep, funky, bumpy, hard, soulful… House is life. It’s a trip. This SoundCloud page is a tribute to all the friends who’ve lived this story and are still carrying it deep inside.

Play it loud.
