From the silk roads of yore to the modern industrial shipping lanes on the high seas, Shmoo's sound is universal sonic commerce for the contemporary ear lobe.

A driving force in the Chicago House scene for over two decades, Shmoo is known for his acclaimed You Are Here series with Derrick Carter at the legendary Spybar and his groundbreaking studio work alongside Gramaphone’s Garrett David. Having previously held residencies at Berlin Nightclub, Copa Lounge, East Room, Electric Hotel, Estate, and the infamous Tanto’s afterhours, Shmoo has left his mark on dance floors across the city.

His debut EP on the iconic Love Notes From Brooklyn label sold out worldwide and earned support from Honey Dijon on BBC Radio 1. During the global club shutdown, Shmoo helped to co-launch SHFFT, a cutting-edge multimedia project that kept the underground spirit alive. He was also invited as a featured guest on DJ Heather's CHI FI SHOW Twitch livestream.

Recognized as one of only six DJs honoured by the City of Chicago’s Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events for excellence in House music production, promotion, and performance, Shmoo stands amongst legends like DJ Lady D, Steve Miggedy Maestro, and Duane Powell. His contributions haven’t gone unnoticed: 5 Magazine has hailed him as one of “the best people working on the scene in Chicago” and a “hometown hero.”

Shmoo’s remix of “Mack Blagic” by Groovy Drew on Jason Merle’s 4E&A imprint has garnered the support of Carl Cox, while his release “Split Up The Get Go” on the same label climbed to #2 on Beatport’s After Hour Essentials: Deep House chart and #6 on their Best New Deep House chart.

His recent release, “Love With Someone”, a collaboration with Chicago’s ilana ariella on her Cheap Talk label, has received support from Alinka, Sam Divine, Francesca Lombardo, Benji Calendario, Joseph Capriati, Marco Carola, Satoshi Fumi, Paco Osuna, Severino Panzetta, Hans Thalau, and James Zabiela, among others. The Audio Soul Project (aka Mazi) remix was featured on Traxsource’s Essential Garage chart and peaked at #28 on their Top 100 Garage chart.

In addition to his work as an artist and producer, Shmoo manages A&R for Cheap Talk, helping to shape the label’s forward-thinking sound.

Shmoo’s latest release “UFO Racing At Dusk” is out now on 4E&A, featuring a remix from Jason Merle. The original mix was selected as #5 on Beatport’s Week 16 Weekend Picks House chart.

Black Asteroid is Bryan Black. Black worked for Prince before launching haloblack, Motor and Black Asteroid, collaborating with Depeche Mode and Rick Owens.

"Call It Techno" was the blueprint track which was written on June 4, 1989.  It was at the forefront of European Rave Culture and became a well known track in the U.K. & Germany.  The documentary "We Call It Techno" explains it right from the beginning and from that came the second & third Love Parade themes being named "The Future Is Ours" off the XL/Citibeat LP by Musto & Bones.  And "My House Is Your House" from the Break Boys which was Frankie Bones aka on Fourth Floor Records in 1990.

Frankie became the American Pioneer of Rave Culture on both coasts in 1990, playing Techno as a movement.  The Peace, Love, Unity Movement which in 1993 became PLUR after a fight broke out at an event in The Bronx which had Richie Hawtin as it's headliner.

And the rest is history.  If words can paint the picture here, the first 5 Soundcloud links will describe a DJ who has a journey of a lifetime & still is active in 2024.  The music that comes from the heart & soul of the Brooklyn Underground.
