**Gene Farris** lives and breathes house music. A bonafide Chicago legend, he’s been pushing musical boundaries for close to three decades, from spinning at underground warehouse parties in the early 90s to working with the current crop of world-leading labels and artists. Relief, Dirtybird, ViVa Music, Defected: all have released and championed Gene Farris records over the past few years, alongside his own Farris Wheel imprint: a fitting testament to the quality and relevance of the music he creates. Gene will be joined by a fellow piece of Chicago house music history: **Mike Dunn.** Mike started out his career out at local disco/funk/soul block parties in Chi town back in the day. “I was one of the first cats bringing two reel-to-reels and spinning with them at the parties," explains Mike. "I’d bring a drum machine, too. I would make tracks right then as the party was going. Way before my guys Daft Punk and all of them were doing live gigs, I was doing that at the basement parties – just bringing drum machines and doing everything live. A lot of my early tracks came from me doing them at the party when the party was going on." The rest is history, yet Mike continues to DJ throughout the world at clubs such as Panorama Bar, Concrete, Fabric & Sub Club, and festivals such as Glastonbury & Electric Forest, demonstrating why the Chicago OG is still very much in demand.
