Summary

Ladies and Gentleman welcome back to The Chicago Bridge Magazine Podcast, I am your host King Hoff and today we bring you another extraordinary individual doing amazing things. Today we are pleased to introduce to you DJ Dagwood the Chicago born and raised, fell in love with and discovered "House Music" at the age of 13 years old @ The "Playground" dance club on 13th & Michigan Ave. "My life changed the day I saw Jessie Saunders & Farley "Funkin" Keith dj'ing there" and From that day all I wanted to be was a dj and play house music. So I joined the league of my peers, DJ Fast Eddie, Tyree Cooper, Larry "Mr. Fingers" Heard, Robert Owens & K Alexi Shelby. I started to hang around these guys and learn to spin and produce house music. You can listen to my music and you can hear the influence dj Fast Eddie had on me as an aspiring Hip House artist. We’re both friends from the westside of Chicago and during those days back when we were all looking at DJ INTERNATIONAL RECORDS as the Motown of Chicago house music, we were on a mission to get our dance music out to the world cause it seems like they couldn’t get enough of Chicago house and Eddie was the man back then. So we all followed him and Tyree Cooper in this Hip House movement, where we would rap over our house music tracks. My passion for house music drove me deep into the house music scene and since then its been a great experience that lead to making records, dj'ing all over the world and "HOUSE" gave me a pathway for success. Since that time, I've produced: Deep House, GhettoHouse, Hard House, G-House and Future House music. Working with, DJ Kevin Halstead (RIP), Jammin Gerald, Dajae, Cajmere, CZR, Glenn Underground, and dj Paul Johnson. My latest collaborations with GettoBlaster, DJ Paul Anthony, Bad Boy Bill, DJ James Ingram, DJ Gant Man and DJ Deeon are a testimate that my artistry and music has evolved and I've finally found a good place to be in dance music. www.djdagwood.com
