Chris Gin gives an exclusive interview to Gary LaCosta @Clout!

6. What type of talent do you gear to showcase?
We are always trying to promote the local artists that are within our format. More underground dance styles of up-tempo music house,progressive,techno. I don’t try to stick us with any one type of dj. I try to get the best talent that I can. We have been working at a club called Bigwig for a while which is a smaller setting. It’s a Thursday night that we do.7. Why do you think euro and hard house are so damn popular in this city?
Euro is as close to mainstream or radio friendly as dance music can get, it has a lot of vocals to it , its got a pop process of how they put their songs together. Euro has a really friendly appeal, people of all ages can get into it. It is very easy to latch on to. Hard house is a bit different, it’s a lowest common denominator of music, its got all the things of dance music that are easiest to latch on to. This style is easily listen-able and easily sellable because its identifiable. And that has a lot to do with success of hard house.8. Who are your favorite dj’s ?
Danny Tenaglia , Carl Cox, Danny Howells, Darren Emerson, Dan Fx, Lovebone and Lotta, Nosmo, other localsound residents, Derrick Carter, Cajmere, Lady d, Terry Bristol , Psychobitch, Lego, John Curley, Mark Grant.9. What producers do you like right now?
A label called whole nine yards, very impressed with this label. 16b’s stuff, layo & bushwacka.
10. Are you spending any time in the studio or have any productions forthcoming?
Im one of the few dj’s I think in the world that really doesn’t care about producing. I've always felt that to be the best dj that I could be that I had to focus on dj’ing. And having worked at rec labels and having worked with other producers and remixers, ive noticed that when you spend more time in the studio than you do on dj’ing, it takes away time from dj’ing, your skills start to erode. So I don’t think that you can have it both ways unless you're really driven to give both aspects same effort and time. 11. What do you see yourself doing in 5 years?
Probably doing the same thing I am doing right now. I'm just happy the way things are going right now. There are many doors that open up to you while you're a dj, that if you're a creative person you can really find a way to pursue your creativeness in many different avenues, I don’t have any set goals in mind, im just gonna see what doors open up and go through them

1.What did you do 5 years ago?
I've been involved for 14 yrs, 5 yrs ago I was the music editor of 1000 words magazine, I was playing @ 950 and Dome Room and Karma was just about to open up.
2. What are your music influences?
I've been a huge music fanatic since I was very young. My whole family was into music. Growing up I listened to lots of disco , rock and roll, industrial, heavy metal, new wave. Pretty much everything.
3. How would you characterize your dj’ing style?
Experience and versatility, having such a varied background in music allowed me to listen to all sorts of music and understand all sorts of music. Listening to everything allows me to play everything, I think that’s what really sets me apart from people. I am not just a house or techno dj or any 1 type of dj. I can play any style with anybody in any situation.
4. How would you consider the scene in Chicago?
Scene has been as strong as ever. There are more nightclubs and djs than ever before. In those terms the scene is very strong.
5. How did you get affiliated with localsound?
Localsound guys have been promoting rock bands for a couple of years, and made move into nightclub industry and came to club that I was working at to hire someone else, they saw me play and decided to hire me instead. I’ve been a resident and talent buyer for them for more than a year now.

01/31/2003 KGBEATS drove MODA in the off-da-hook MODe! with DJ SOKOLOV Miss Red, Rita Sky & Misavee (Corporalis Coutoure )

You had to see it to believe it: Moda was packed and jamming to the club sounds of KGBEATS and djSokolov of Ukraine. Models made everyone wishing for their cameras and the music, - it made you wish you whore your dance shoes! Each of us dj's that night got a to play a set of favorites, with a special bonus tag-team happy hour by Lovebone and Lotta, - as we stopped playing, crowd was still chanting for more and nobody wanted to go home! Amazing!
Perhaps the biggest highlight of the night musically was a bootleg of the Yeke Yeke, which took old-skoolers back to like 10 years ago; a ABS by KGBEATS/8MI and new Underworld record , mixed in by djSokolov at the beginning of the body painting show.
Thank you all for your support and enthusiasm, and we promise to invite you back to Moda for more of this mind blowers! Special thanks goes to Miss Red, Rita Sky, Missavee, Boris, Max, ChichkaN1, RuMisha, Roman, Tim and Moda staff, all dancers and models & You without whom this all would be impossible!

KGBEATS DOES

People that follow us for quite a while know that it is a rear treat to catch us playing one our down tempo-abstract-jazz set. Chicago's world famous Museum Of Contemporary Art invited KGBEATS to play one of their member events. Setting up on the balcony of the the second floor we were the one and only sound for the night, gently taking advantage of the MCA's unique acoustics. Getting quite high on feeling and quite drunk on free drinks (generously provided by the museum's management) we set to jazz the artsy party up and we did! 5 Hours non stop tandem included the freshest novelties and the best of oldies in ambiend, nu-jazz, leftfield, ethnic and other unlabeled stuff.. Playing anything from K&D and Thievery Corporation to Orbital and Roni Size we were able to capture the mood of the party, injecting it with some Brazilian Spice of Sergio Mendes or sexing it up with the Neo-Tango of the Gotan Project! Overall it was an incredible and memorable night for us, a beginning of a new relationship between one of the world's finest museum and us - world's cackiest bastards!
