EXULANSIS

This is my rework of Todd Terry's 1993's underground house classic "Jumpin'". I also used samples from his 1995 remix of "Keep On Jumpin'" feat. Martha wash and Jocelyn Brown. I remade the drum track, used the same samples and played the bassline over and sequenced it the way he did in the original with my additives.

Something just said "Gant make a House remix to this song. You'll make this sound dope." lol  Enjoy!

Born and raised in the vibrant streets of Chicago’s Pilsen neighborhood.

A passionate DJ, producer, and sound innovator with deep roots in the South Side’s rich cultural tapestry. In 2012, I embarked on my creative journey with FL Studio, where I honed my production skills, crafting sounds that reflect the soul of my city. By 2014, I expanded my artistry to DJing, diving headfirst into the art of moving crowds and curating unforgettable musical experiences.

My music is a tribute to the sounds that shaped me—fusing the timeless groove of Chicago house with fresh, innovative influences. As I continue to push boundaries, my mission is clear: to unite people through music and elevate the culture that gave me my voice.

Welcome to my world, my sound. Watch me as I play with time, as time plays with you.
