Kyle Douglas is a seasoned Disc Jockey with over 25 years of experience and a true embodiment of Chicago's vibrant and influential House Music scene, where his House Music journey began. His beginnings in the genre trace back to the early days when House Music was a cultural force, uniting people and evolving as an ever-changing art form. Known for his impeccable track selection and smooth mixing, Kyle's performances leave an indelible mark on his audience. Specializing in Underground House, Deep House, Minimal, Tech House, Afro House, and Disco, he possesses the versatility to confidently navigate through various subgenres. Kyle's approach is both technical and stylish, displaying assertiveness in layering tracks and precision in programming.

What sets Kyle apart is his commitment to the authentic roots of DJing—he learned on and regularly spins vinyl, showcasing a rare dedication to the craft. With a music library dating back to the late 90s, he actively seeks and collects records, adding a tangible connection to the rich history of House Music. A risk-taker behind the decks, Kyle incorporates new techniques, experimental sounds, and intricate layering, keeping his sets fresh and innovative.

Having served as a resident DJ and sound engineer in major markets such as the UK, Chicago, Northern California, New York, and Seattle, Kyle's passion culminated in the co-founding of House Cleaning Records (HCR) in February 2021, alongside his life and business partner, Jenn Sturgill. HCR is not just a label but a community fostering creativity, inclusion, dance, mentorship, and joy. The mission is to drive the House Music genre forward while respecting its history, creating a nurturing space for artistic expression and knowledge-sharing.

Beyond his musical prowess, Kyle is a mentor at heart, engaging with his audience, sharing knowledge, and fostering connections.

Kyle Douglas, at his core, is an artist who simply loves to immerse himself in the rhythm of the crowd, making every performance a memorable celebration of House Music's soulful legacy.
