—aka Curtis Jones—is an undisputed house music icon. His music and tongue-in-cheek vocals have dominated dance floors for over three decades.

La La Land - Miami Music Week 2018

In 1992, just a year after stepping into dance music as Cajual, he started Cajual Records as an outlet for his music. What followed was a series of Billboard Dance chart-topping hits that forever forged his name in dance music history. Ever the entrepreneur and champion of house music, he started Relief Records in 1993. Since then, the label has been a platform for the finest house music artists from Paul Johnson, Gene Farris, and Dj Sneak to Eli Brown, Eskuche,

About Green Velvet: 
Green Velvet (aka Cajmere) studied chemical engineering at the University of Illinois, where he exposed himself to the energetic culture and lifestyle of house. In 1991, midway though graduate school, Cajmere returned to Chicago to pursue his dream of producing house music.

In 1992, after surviving on cheese sandwiches and maximizing credit limits, Cajmere finally made an imprint on the dance community with his infectious experiment, "Coffee Pot" (It's Time for the Percolator) – Clubhouse Records. Then he moved on to more complex musical and lyrical arrangements with songs like Lidell Townsell's "Get With U" (Mercury Records). 

The Cajmere and Dajae collaboration resulted in a #2 Billboard Dance Chart and International dance hit - "Brighter Days". It was at this point that Cajmere decided to start Cajual Records. Having his own label gave Cajmere the autonomy to attain his goal of developing a sound that was representative of Chicago - thus, putting Chicago back on the map. 

In 1993 Cajmere created Relief Records. The label became an outlet for he and other producers' more track-oriented work. 

(Green Velvet)

The Relief label also gave birth to the experimental and eccentric, afro wig-wearing entity we know as Green Velvet - a Cajmere alter ego. 

Green Velvet produced the first release on the Relief label, "Preacher Man." He followed up the debut release with "Flash" and "The Stalker", both of which brought about unexpected praise and worldwide recognition. 

In 1997, Green Velvet's attempt to combine 80s electronic funk with Chicago's cult of a perfect track led to his creation, "Answering Machine" - with the more humorous but rather contagious hook - "I don't need this shit!" For 1999 Green Velvet has crafted "Constant Chaos", an electronic trip over a lyrical landscape or as Green Velvet muses in a recent Muzik interview, "I guess it's sorta like folk music for the rave scene."

Chicago-born Gene Farris is one of the few in dance music with the creative clout and history to be called a legend. He's been a pivotal part of the scene since the early '90s when he DJed the storied underground warehouse parties that laid the groundwork for the scene today. He is frequently called upon to lend his eclectic vibes in the studio to industry greats like Sonny Fodera, Green Velvet, Danny Howard, CID, Wheats, and John Summit. However, his solo career is just as celebrated with releases on Toolroom, Defected, and his own tastemaking Farris Wheel Recordings making the rounds in sets worldwide.

His two artist albums 

, have become classics. And his newly formed What To Do imprint has become the de facto home for his unique brand of synthy bass-forward club thumpers.

Candian-born Miami-based DJ, producer, and broadcaster Katrella ascended to the top of the Candian dance scene, winning Top DJ in Ottawa. She caught the ear of industry figures and toured all over Canada but soon found that she wanted to put herself in the heart of the house music scene. She moved to Miami, quickly secured a residency with Revolution 93.5, and founded Industry³, one of Magic City's leading entertainment brands. In her short time in the industry, she's scored a litany of releases on Spinnin Records sublabel Sirup Music.

Check out Chicaco's Nasser Baker - direct from Waterfront Park, San Diego, USA as we go LIVE for CRSSD 2021 on Beatport Live.

About Nasser Baker: 
Could Nasser Baker be the next huge talent unearthed by Objektivity boss Dennis Ferrer? We certainly think so. Displaying a real maturity in his productions and a distinct lack of vocal fear, Nasser delivers quality, time and again.Off of the strength of his first ever release and label debut, ‘Salutations EP’ (Objektivity, 2013) came the 2015 'Deadlines EP' (Objektivity), followed by the 'Future Primitive EP (Objektivity, 2016). Keeping it busy in between the original releases, Nasser has delivered a couple of stellar remixes for PMR, Objektivity, Nervous and more. His latest endeavour, the ‘Gramercy EP’ on Suara (December 2016) received great reviews and showed off Nasser’s more techier side. Next up - another Objektivity two-tracker due to drop before the summer, in time for the 2017 Ibiza season. Only 23 years old, Nasser Baker is ready to take over the world, starting with his Ibiza residency (as a part of Dennis Ferrer's Misfits Society crew) and much, much more! You heard it here first!

Nasser Baker DJ set - CRSSD 2021 |  @beatport Live

Nasser Baker was discovered initially by Dennis Ferrer, who mentored him and released his first records on his Objektivity imprint. He then linked up with Green Velvet and released the pumping "Bodytude" on Relief. Its infectious vocal and unforgettable synth line are the perfect example of Baker's unique style. He brilliantly fuses off-kilter vocals, dark and ravey synths, and shuffle-worthy drums. A strong advocate of inclusion in house music, Nasser Baker, is a beacon of light for the dance community.

Rebūke (Live Set) at Burnley Circus Park Melbourne 2020

A champion of blistering funky techno, Irish-born Rebūke's musical background is just as noteworthy as his releases on Adam Beyer's Drumcode, Patrick Topping's Trick, and Relief. A second-generation DJ, young Rebūke was mentored by the legendary Fergie, even before legally entering a club. In just over three years, he's released an avalanche of dance-floor destroying gems. Tracks like "Along Came Polly," "Ultimate Distortion" with Allan Fitzpatrick, and "The Future" with CamelPhat are indicative of his wide-ranging style. He confidently creeps from buzzing warehouse techno to triumphant disco, all with his trademark driving drumlines.

Not many people can say that they've produced tracks that permeate the connective tissue of dance music, and have evolved to be classics. Shiba San's "Okay" released on Dirtybird in 2014 was a genre-defining moment. Yet there's much more to the Parisian producer. He's since continued to wallop the world with bass-forward club heaters. The prolific producer seems to have more music than he knows what to do with releasing a blinding clip with everyone from Defected to Sola, and of course his own expertly curated Basement Leak imprint.
