[EN] The independent project Humandala Sound System moved its first steps in Rome between '99 and 2000, a one-man-band featuring many stimulating collaborations. Feeding on electronic, industrial, ambient, funk, jazz and blues, it generates back ALWAYS musical contaminations. Tracks emerge and take shape from long jam sessions. Loops & improvisation are crucial components, also during public live performances: they're blended in a unique, psychedelic way, every time. Musically speaking, this is the Humandala* concept. Enjoy!

[IT] Il progetto Humandala Sound System nasce a cavallo tra il vecchio e il nuovo millennio: un periodo di transizione che vede nella contaminazione fra i generi musicali il riflesso dei suoi mutevoli tratti somatici. I brani prendono forma emergendo da lunghe jam session, mandala umani distillati e lasciati sgocciolare nelle acque della rete... Loops e improvvisazione sono componenti fondamentali anche durante le performance dal vivo: dalla loro miscela, sensibile e reattiva alla sinergia col pubblico e l'ambiente, scaturisce un momento musicale ogni volta unico e irripetibile. Questo è lo spirito del mandala umano!

DJ MassTransit (aka. Chris Nergaard) grew-up on the Northside of Chicago and has been a fixture on the Chicago night life scene since the late 1990’s. With two CPS Music Teachers as parents his musically-focused family helped expose him to many styles of music in a very diverse environment.

During his formative years MassT studied Sociology and Afro-American Studies (with a Senior Thesis on African-American music) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, which eventually led him to obtaining a Masters degree in Social Work at UIC. It was through these experiences that DJ MassTransit developed a deep understanding of music’s power mobilizing social change and bringing people together by creating energy on the dance floor. His craftiness, unbridled passion and sharp eye for detail evolved into a unique flexibility mixing with emotion and connecting with diverse audiences worldwide.

MassTransit DJ’s a wide variety of music in all of its forms—from Motown and classic 70’s soul and funk to deep disco, boogie, house, old school hip-hop and beyond. As co-founder of RefriedBeats, a 5 1/2-year Saturday night residency at Ten56 w/ live freestyle sessions from some of Chicago best party MC’s, MassTransit has long established his voice in the local music scene. MassTransit has also held long-time DJ residencies throughout Chicago including Fox Bar in Soho House Chicago, Ace Bounce, The Darkroom, Subterranean, Cole’s Bar, Tonic Room, Lava Lounge, Bungalow Lounge, InnJoy, Jerry’s Music Room, The Morseland, and Murasaki Sake Lounge and has had the opportunity to deejay hundreds of weddings and special events all over the world.
