MACK explores & archives themes relating to Roots, Culture and Consciousness. MACK infuses traditional wisdom into modern dance music, creating an experience that educates, entertains and elevates.

DJ COOLEY MACK (CRN) helped pioneer Hip-Hop culture in the Midwest and Chicago among others in the Chi-Rock Nation during the mid-1980s to early-1990s. His music career began in 1986 with the arrival of the Ensoniq Mirage keyboard, a revolutionary low-budget sampling device for its time. https://soundcloud.com/mackboogaloo/sets/dj-cooley-mack-old-school-hip


DJ COOLEY MACK was also tapped into the underground House Music scene of the 1980s; not as a “House DJ”… but as a student of the craft. Whether soaking up the DJ sounds of the Hot Mix 5 (WBMX) on the radio, Farley Jackmaster Funk at the Rainbo Roller Center, Lil Louis at Medusa’s or Jamie Lust (3:26) at his basement parties, he never missed a beat. https://chicagoloopsexpress.bandcamp.com/
 

DJ COOLEY MACK studied “sound engineering” at Columbia College (Chicago) and was mentored by his teacher Malcolm Chisholm of the legendary Chess Records and Record Row fame. After a brief encounter with DJ Wayne Williams, he initiated an internship for himself at Jive Records. While interning, he had the pleasure of interacting with Chicago’s finest House Music producers, like Hula & K. Fingers, Mr. Lee, Cajmere, Lidell Townsell, Maurice Joshua and others. 


MACK, since high school, has been deeply engaged in grassroots community empowerment as a youth mentor, case manager and many other roles, serving Chicago, Los Angeles, Compton, Long Beach, St. Paul, Minneapolis, Des Moines, Miami, and other nearby cities.


DJ MACKBOOGALOO was blessed to have encounters with indigenous traditional elders (medicine people) in 2013, which led him on a path to assist their inter-tribal unity efforts. He became greatly inspired by the spiritual teachings of Mad Bear Anderson (Iroquois) & Rolling Thunder (Cherokee), along with Ted Silverhand (Iroquois), leading him to co-author & author books on their legacy.
