Derrick Carter: Live at smartbar on Queen! Opening Night

From the industry-versed minds of Jessi Roti and Mauricio Reyes, this is The Clampdown. We’re going to talk about music—sharing stories about our experiences in the business, interviews with Chicago artists, tastemakers, talent buyers, producers, record shop owners, and all kinds of industry folks to try and give a more complete look at what it’s like to move in these spaces at a ground level, from cool, unexpected moments to absolute horror stories and everything between. Other times, we’re just gonna talk about tunes. What we like, what we absolutely loathe, what we think is worthy of your time or money; upcoming concerts, etc.

DJ/Producer  from the swamps of New Jersey

Chiraya is Fredrik Fagerhaug and Alexander Ramstad, an Oslo based Norwegian producer & DJ duo.

They started off making beats in 2011 and formed Chiraya in 2015 after a long period in the Jackin’ House scene.
This project is a result of experimentation with sound, so forget the standard polished beats and clean mixes. 
It's about the raw and live feeling in the lo-fi range, a techno/house hybrid with a feel of the 90s.
