Selador Sessions 155 | Darren Emerson

For the second episode of There Is No Planet Earth Stories I'm joined by guest DJ Heather representing stories from Chicago. We discuss a range of topics from the celebration of her 35 year DJ career,  her experiences in the Chicago House Music Scene of the 80's and 90's,  working at Gramophone records,  as well as her experiences over the years as a DJ and Producer.

"DJ Heather is a highly respected and talented DJ from Brooklyn who has made a name for herself in the Chicago music scene. She got her start at the Artful Dodger, a neighborhood pub with a small dance floor, and quickly progressed to more prominent gigs, including a three-year residency at Red Dog and a stint at the famous Gramaphone Records. She is known for her versatile style, which incorporates a wide variety of genres including hip hop, house, jazz, soul, R&B, disco classics, and rare groove. Despite her success, Heather considers becoming a DJ to be a “happy accident” and a hobby that developed into a full-time pursuit. Throughout her career, she has focused on developing her skills and versatility as an entertainer, and is considered one of the premier selectors in the nation.

DJ Heather’s dedication and hard work have earned her a reputation as a skilled and talented DJ. Her ability to seamlessly blend different genres of music and create a unique and engaging experience for her audience has made her a favorite among music lovers in Chicago and around the world. Her performances are known for their energy and passion, as well as her ability to connect with the crowd and create a sense of community on the dance floor."

272 - The Deeper Sound Of Bristol presents 'Tec House Living' (1998)

To celebrate our 700th CD. We've connected with an originator of the scene. John Acquaviva. Who introduces his mix with a look back at his early career and talks about the importance of the mix CD as an art form.

Here's a few words from John:
'It's a pleasure to come together with The Classic Mix CD Series to celebrate their 700th release that reflects and honors what for many is a lost art. That of the mix CD. Cutting my own teeth as a teenager before getting my nightclub gigs, i would make my  mix cassettes and hand them out to shops and friends.  Once I started to tour the world and as our seen grew i treated my mix cds as my album releases. for me these albums were a collage of other peoples works but newly interpreted though my mixing. The title BACK TO BASICS resonates with me as much today as it did around 2004 when techno was too hard, house was to easy and many artist re-energized by going back to the middle where it felt right. Not all the songs aged well, but listening to this brought me back to a wonderful time when it made sense to step back reflect and realize that sometimes, the best way to recalibrate is to get BACK TO BASICS, enjoy the mix'.
