CHAIN OF FOOLS (taken it easy my way rework)CORKY STRONG

DJ // founder @trwsnd

Ohlei is a sonic curator and storyteller, navigating the many lanes of house music with a sound deeply rooted in Black and Afro-diasporic rhythm. Her sound lives at the intersection of Afro-diasporic pulse and electronic rhythm, a fusion that is both grounded and expansive. While house music is a key part of her foundation, her sets and style go far beyond that. Her sound is always evolving, shaped by discovery and a deep respect for movement and culture.

Guided by feeling, rhythm, connection, and a wide-ranging ear, her sets flow effortlessly through Global Club, Soulful House, Afrohouse, Deep House, Afrotech, Amapiano, and Gqom, crafting experiences that transcend genres and are designed to resonate across borders. Known for her smooth transitions and intuitive mixing, Ohlei blends styles with ease, creating movement that feels seamless and deeply personal.

As the founder of TRWSND (Travel With Sound) and the party series Sounds In Motion, her mission is to unify the world through the universal languages of music, dance, and culture.

Cornelius Ferguson a.k.a. Traxman And Better know as Corky Strong is from the West Side of Chicago and one of the longest serving producers working in House and Footwork with releases stretching back to the glory days of Ghetto House on Dance Mania records in the nineties. He’s also one of the co-founders of Chicago's two-decades- G.E.T.O DJZ INC clique and a member of DJ Rashad & DJ Spinn's Teklife CREW And the founder of TEKK DJZ
crew and has recorded with power house lables like dance mania' planet mu' Dizzy Tunes' chi wax' litcity trax' booty tune' booty call records Raw wax and also was one of the creators of the legendary mixtapes on coloured cassettes which were the prototype for Juke and Footwork's evolution. His unique brand of Footwork is very strongly rooted in Chicago's history of Soul, Funk, House and Ghetto Trax; he’s a veteran and renowned crate digger who has provided the sample sources for many of House' Juke and Footwork's classic tracks over the years. His deep knowledge of music (check the mixes he occasionally throws up on the net) makes him one of the city’s most versatile and skilled DJs and producers.

Traxman's own productions are an incredibly well rounded suture between hip hop’s natural funk and resourceful sample flipping, the hyper-kinetic innovation of footwork’s stop-start, half-time to double-speed drum programming and a deep respect and understanding of Chicago’s House past, that few producers can match; His mixes are a testament to this man's skills.

Paide is a DJ and promoter of the footwork culture in Poland and worldwide. He’s also one of the curators of the dub techno compilations: „Szmery” (Kanu Kanu, 2015) and "Doubts" (Pawlacz Perski, 2016).

In 2010, inspired by the first footwork Planet Mu releases, he started with podcasts series on radio-alternator broadcast promoting Chicago footwork. That idea was pioneering in Poland (amongst just a very few, similiar one, worldwide at that time) and became an inspiration for the others. Until 2016 he was a member of Polish Juke, the crew he co-founded with Mateo.

Apart from his promoter role, he played alongside the top footwork artists from Chicago: DJ Rashad, DJ Spinn, DJ Earl and Traxman. In 2016 he visited Japan where he played shows in Tokyo and Osaka alongside the most important Japanese footwork producers: DJ Fulltono, CRZKNY, Kent from Paisley Parks, Hiroki Yamamura, Satanicpornocultshop, Boogie Mann, Keito and many more. Later on this year he also had the opportunity to take part of the Unsound Festival in Cracow as an artist.

In 2016 he also started his own tape label outlines focused on more experimental side of footwork music and 160BPM. The idea of the label is to release tapes with over 9 minutes 160 BPM/footwork track on each side of the tape. So far he has brought out a series of tapes dedicated to the creators of minimal footwork: DJ Fulltono, CRZKNY and Skip Club Orchestra. Another series is dedicated to the female producers. Two of three tapes have been already released and belong to Aylu and AGF.
