J.Dub is a unique and edgy presence in the Chicago house music pantheon with years of touring and genre smashing production under his belt. He’s toured North America and Europe extensively as a headlining DJ and lead vocalist for Greenskeepers as well as holding multiple residencies at clubs in Chicago, LA, Toronto, and Vancouver.  Material at the legendary Shelter nightclub, regular appearances at Red Dog, Karma, RedNoFive, and notably his Sorted night alongside DJ Heather at the iconic Smart Bar all culminated in his eventual sets at London DJ institutions Ministry of Sound, The End, and Turnmills.  Shows at Toronto’s Industry nightclub propelled him into Canadian house scene leading to tours across the country. His classic mixtapes released by Canadian imprint Blu Funk Recordings solidified his status as an underground house standout and must see live performer.  “Love On The Line”, “Vagabond”, “We Just Won't Stop”, “Through All This Stuff”, “Back and Forth”, “Master of Time”,  “Deepest Trip” and “Too Cool To Dance” are just a few of the buzz worthy vocal projects released by dance/indie labels DFA, Smash Hit, Rockstar, GKM, Farris Wheel, Homecoming and new label home Exploited. During the summer of 2008, J.Dub joined James Curd and L.A. DJ/Musician Chris Holmes in forming electro/rock/rap group Science & Industry.   This multi-talented artist has had past projects remixed by the likes of Derrick Carter, DJ Sneak, Mark Farina, Stacy Pullen, 1200 Warriors, Chuck Love, JT Donaldson, Members Only, David Duriez and Jason Hodges. Vocal projects on Exploited Recordings with longtime collaborator James Curd opened new doors including extensive radio play in the states especially on L.A.’s globally recognized KCRW. J.Dub recently relocated to the City of Angels and has taken up the mantle of Label Manager for longtime friend and fellow Chicago expatriate Mark Farina’s Great Lakes Audio Recordings imprint.

German born, house head for life. The funkier the better. Can dance her ass off

Great Lakes Audio Recordings is the brainchild of label head honcho Mark Farina, creator of Mushroom Jazz and legendary House Music DJ. Since his days at Gramaphone Records in Chicago in the 90s, Mark has always been a creative trailblazer in his approach and musical execution. Whether it was making handmade mixtapes featuring his artwork or mixing genres to eventually come up with his signature Mushroom Jazz sound, Mark has built his career on presenting a very personal vision of what a DJ can be. 
Great Lakes Audio Recordings is an extension of that drive to bring only the best in underground music to DJ’s and the masses alike. The label’s focus is squarely on promoting the work of producers from around the world that share that funky, groovy, soulful, and Chicago influenced sound fans have come to expect from Mark.  The Farina sound will be represented to the fullest on Great Lakes Audio Recordings with Mark curating every release from the music to the artwork.  Label Manager Jerry Walker (AKA J-Dub) has partnered and toured with Farina over the last 2 decades and has joined him to help create this new space for producers, visual artists, and fans to join together to share their love of House. Drawing inspiration from the history of the DIY culture that built this now global scene, Great Lakes Audio Recordings will be firmly rooted in the spirit of the loft parties, warehouse raves, and indie record stores that gave birth to this musical movement.
The label plans to continue to work with artists from it’s previous incarnation (GLA) such as Demuir, Kid Enigma, Ed Nine, Jazzman Wax , Iban Montoro, Riki Inocente, Ed The Spread and DJ Sneak while also promoting the work of new label artists like Javi Bora, Andres Boned, and Todd Omotani.  We’ll also be bringing new merchandise to market featuring our amazing new logo and artwork from releases and events. Our social media presence will be strong and constantly updated with fresh content found on our new Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Soundcloud, and YouTube pages.  Ed Nine & Kid Enigma, Iban Montoro & Jazzman Wax, Matt & Ricky, and JT Donaldson kick started the label beginning in 2018 gearing up steadily into 2019. Future releases include releases from Bonetti & Alek Soltirov, Iz, Kid Enigma, Chris Nazuka, and the man himself, Mark Farina. Stay tuned for more mixes from our red hot GLA Recordings Artist Sessions as well!

Blasting onto the Chicago House scene in 2019, ilana quickly grew a fan base from a notoriously tough Chicago dance floor as well as approval from many of the architects of the sound. She prides herself on being a meticulous student of the foundation of House, her dedication bordering on what some may say is an obsession. Her pleasure comes from playing the cuts that have been seldom heard or long forgotten about. 

Her vinyl collection is one of the shining stars of her DJ repertoire and is thrilled anytime she can share them with a discerning audience. 

Although a dancer and a DJ first, she has also found time to get into the studio with several releases under her belt. Her label, Cheap Talk, launched in Spring of 2023, highlights the raw Chicago House sound, seeing support from 5Magazine and DJ Heather among notable others. Her label mate, Shmoo, is a frequent collaborator/co-conspirator.  Their talents combined have proven that this generation of Chicago artist is ready to take the reigns while simultaneously honoring those that came before.

Catch her wherever good vibes and good tunes are the requirement.

Grammy Award Winner, Producer, Remixer, DJ

"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..."

Being part of the 90's Chicago/Midwest rave scene, I fell in love with Trance and Deep House, and was lucky enough to make friends with greats such as Dan Efex, Paul Johnson, and Mystic Bill.  I started spinning in that time period but didn't play out until 98' in Honolulu, Hawaii, when I was stationed there in the military.  Under the moniker NuTek, I headlined raves and held several residencies at local clubs playing classic and epic trance alongside and often co-headlining with legends such as Sandra Collins, Lady Miss Kier, Kimball Collins, Qbert, Danny the Wildchild and ESP to name a few.

 Upon moving back to Chicago in 2000, I reinvented my style of music moving away from the epic style of trance and picked up goa/psychedelic style as well as the occasional deep house set.  In 2001, I was honored to be sponsored by the world renowned psychedelic trance label Chaos Unlimited (closed in the late 2000's) in Brighton, U.K.  A move to Denver with a change in lifestyle went hand-in-hand with a ten year hiatus from playing gigs.  In that timeframe I never stopped creating new mixes and have had the honor of creating a CD for Onward Recordings of Argentina and most recently a homage mix to my personal trance hero Dan Efex following suit to quite possibly the most iconic hard acid trance mixtape of all time, Plixx (circa 1995).

With a new outlook on my music making/composing and a rebranding to simply Neil Michael, my focus was strictly house music, alternating between jacking and deeper in style.  While playing out is not a priority anymore, making and releasing professional recordings is my absolute passion, especially in collaboration with some of my old friends and house legends.  One thing that I absolutely pride myself on is that no matter what medium I use to mix with, there has never been, nor will there ever be, the use of a sync feature or controllers for ease of mixing.  Coming from the school of vinyl, I believe that DJ'ing is a craft, a skill.  Removing that difficult portion of the art means I am no longer invested in my personal talent and development.  

These days I’ve been getting back into hard trance, acid trance, GOA, and progressive trance as well as deep house, jackin house and occasionally DnB.
