When compiling tracks for this set I aimed to pay homage to Chris's roots in New York City and in progressive house (before progressive became a dirty word). But the truth is, Chris's style can't be pinned down to a specific genre so I felt neither should the set I played before him. The set is thus a bit of a genre fucker covering house, techno, and progressive with hints of dub, acid, and freestyle thrown in for good measure. enjoy;)

Pole Folder - Destinations September 2014 - Hour 2  Chicago

	
Picking up the guitar in his early teens, Jon Quinn (known to his friends as Jake) played rhythm guitar for a number of bands into his early twenties. He attributes the strong sense of composition apparent in his sets to the many hours he spent writing songs for these bands. He briefly ventured into Chicago’s rave scene about the same time he was learning to play guitar but the pull of electronic music didn’t take hold until he reached legal club going age. PURE was running Thursday and Saturday nights at Redno5 and bringing all the best underground progressive house. Acts like Anthony Pappa, Deep Dish, and Dave Seaman played an essential role in developing Quinn’s ear. He was also a regular at Bigwig's Bass by the Pound D'n' B Wednesday nights where he developed a taste for the grittier side of electronic music. Weekends that started on Wednesday and didn't end until sometime Sunday afternoon were rough but proved crucial in developing Quinn's range. He bought his first pair of turntables just days after his 21st birthday and stuck with mixing strictly on vinyl for just shy of a decade. Always the late adopter, he started mixing on CDJs right about the same time his cohorts were familiarizing themselves with Traktor and Ableton. In the last year, however, Quinn has taken to Traktor and it’s capabilities really help his creativity shine though. 
Now, with an ear for harmonic diversity and deep grooves,  Jon Quinn’s eclectic style ranges from deep Dutch tech-house to all out bangin' progressive. Always moving with intention, he artistically highlights each individual production while crafting his sets in a way that yields a sound that’s more than the sum of its parts. With a consistent emphasis on varied bass lines and a range of beat structure, it’s no surprise that Chicago’s local promoters are taking notice. Now a regular at Primary Chicago as Aural Matrix’s resident DJ, Quinn has had the good fortune of opening for two of his primary influences this year – Deepfunk and Luis Junior. With bookings for 2014 including an opening set for Chris Fortier, Marcelo Vasami, and Henry Saiz, one gets the sense that – while it’s been a long time coming – this guy’s just getting started.
