I'm DJ SPENCE:CHICAGO and I spin baby-making music.
I mix a blend of the most sonically irresistible, soulful, pulsating & groove-laden house music on the planet.
I want to make people move, from their heart to their hips....radiating outward into the world.
My goal is to create a sonically-generated sexual vibe.
I only play music that has tugged at my heart, caressed my soul, and demanded my complete attention...and I feel that the opportunity for me to share this music with you is a true gift.

I hope you enjoy it!

Peace,
DJ SPENCE:CHICAGO

My musical journey began after college when I moved into Chicago and began going to underground bars like the original Exit Club and slamming to punk bands like 'Suicidal Tendencies' as an energetic release from my day-to-day routine.
I quickly outgrew that scene and began to spend many late nights at clubs that provided classic banging Chicago House &
Industrial as the sonic backdrop. My nightlife was one continuous blur....

I experienced a late-night epiphany upon stumbling into one of the first show's of 90's Chicago-based underground rockers 'The Jesus Lizard' at the Cabaret Metro. After picking my jaw up off the floor I went backstage and approached Duane, their guitarist, and convinced him to teach me how to play.

Thanks to Duane's instruction I was soon playing guitar in a fewlocally-popular heavy rock bands and regularly performing at such vaunted Chicago venues as Lounge Ax, The Avalon, Double Door, and the Cabaret Metro. My former band-mates kiddingly called me "Kronos, Master of Time" because of my ability to lock into any tempo with precision.
During this time I enjoyed the opportunity to have recorded both an EP and full-length CD with famed punk-alternative rock producer Steve Albini. This was my first 'behind-the-scenes' exposure to the recording process.

After a few years I was the co-owner/president of an indie label (Urban Legends Records) with a bunch of local punk and alternative rockers on our roster. Our flagship artist was Wesley, a good-hearted but mentally-tortured 350-lb African-American street artist suffering from schizophrenia manifesting as evil voices and vivid hallucinations.
Wesley fronted 'The Wesley Willis Fiasco', a band consisting of 4 skinny white guys playing tongue-in-cheek punk-metal as Wesley read/rapped/sang his street poetry while reading off the original notepad that he wrote it on.
The W.W.F. were controversial, but Wesley's band-mates were not only his best friends but his protectors. They toured the East and West coasts and I got the opportunity to fly across the country and meet a diverse group of artists including Henry Rollins, members of the band 'Sublime', and others.
