In 1997, DJ CDX lit up the underground scene between Detroit and Chicago. His 1999 mixtape, "Durty Haus Dubs," propelled him to prime-time status, blending funky beats and depth charge garage basslines, crowned by the track "Baby You're the Worst I've Ever Had." This mixtape has become a warehouse rave classic, re-released three times and widely available online. Now based in Traverse City, MI, CDX continues to rock Michigan and the Midwest.
