DJ Deeon

A legend from the Chicago home picture, DJ Deeon (aka Deeon Boyd) had initial plied his trade playing little home parties and offering mixtapes in regional car parking lots in the first ’90s on Chicago’s Southern Side, where he previously developed. Boyd began to generate his own monitors after finding a Roland 606 and 303, acquiring the audio that had described Chicago home and adding erotically billed lyrics to his songs, creating what will be referred to as “ghetto home.” His 1st launch, the Funk Town EP, made an appearance in 1994 within the inspirational Chicago home label Dance Mania — house to famous brands Paul Johnson, Lil’ Louis, Robert Armani, and Marshall Jefferson — and will be accompanied by a slew of produces for the label on the next couple of years. Tracks such as for example “House-O-Matic,” “2 B Totally free,” and “Freak Like Me” epitomized Deeon’s audio and he became a sought-after name not only in Chicago but over the fish pond in European countries. Producing more than 30 singles for Dance Mania more than a five-year period until 1999 once the label shut down, Deeon continuing along with his ghetto audio, producing produces for Databass, Juke Trax, and Pro-Jex through the entire noughties. Having a renewed desire for the ghetto home scene in the first 2010s — and specifically the option of the initial Dance Mania produces — Glasgow-based label Figures released the Deeon Doez Deeon! EP in 2015, offering four of his many celebrated songs. A crowdfunded marketing campaign to create Deeon towards the U.K. been successful in early 2016, with Deeon playing units at XoYo in London along with a arranged at the ultimate Bloc weekender. A joint remix of Freak Like Me with Lee Walker released on Defected noticed Deeon declaring his 1st ever U.K. singles graph placement, using the monitor bringing his brand ghetto audio to a complete new audience.
