xesschicago Posted September 29 Report Share Posted September 29 Friday, October 3rd, 2003 X'ESS Entertainment & Zentra Nightclub present: X'ESS Fridays @ Zentra featuring: Byron Stingley Former lead vocalist of the Chicago house group Ten City, Byron Stingley has been flying solo for the last couple of years releasing many excellent records through Nervous Records. He has worked with many top producers like David Morales, Zack Tomms, Mousse T, and Masters at Work on his debut solo album 'The Purist' out now on Nervous/Manifesto (in the UK). Since 'Get Up' dropped in 96 Byron has enjoyed success all over the globe as the male 'diva' enjoys a revival. Paul Johnson Born and raised in the birthplace of House Music, Paul Johnson who has over forty 12†releases (on Dust Traxx, Undaground Therapy, Cajual/Relief, Dance Mania, Riveria, Full House, Confidential, IHR, Peacefrog, and Djax) and six full-length albums (on Nite Life Collective, Relief, Moody, Peacefrog, and ACV), is one of our hometown heroes. Recording under the aliases Traxxmen with Robert Armani, Brother 2 Brother with Gant Garrard, and Yonkapin on his own making both deep disco house excursions and techno bangers, Paul is known world wide for setting and resetting the direction of House Music time and time again. Stacy Kidd Since those humble beginnings in the late 80s, Stacy Kidd has gone on to prove himself a versatile producer and DJ, with releases on such notable labels as Peacefrog, Riviera and Moody. His co-production, Thank You, with seminal New Jersey DJ Tony Humpries on the Yellorange label, wound up being licensed five times. However, like many aspiring DJs, the young Stacy Kidd wasn't an immediate success. "Here in Chicago we don't stick together that much. Most people aren't willing to help. If you're a producer on the way up in New York, people always seem to be willing to give you a leg up, but in Chicago it's the opposite. I had to go all the way to France to get some respect here at home." His break came through meeting Paul Johnson, with whom he collaborated on several releases that subsequently introduced him to the much larger European market.
