xesschicago Posted November 3 Report Share Posted November 3 Friday, November 7th, 2003 X'ESS Entertainment & Zentra Nightclub present: X'ESS Fridays @ Zentra CD Release party for Johnny Fiasco! Aphrodisio mix v.01 Johnny Fiasco Unlike most of his colleagues, Johnny Fiasco's musical background lies in rock & roll. Before turning his energies to house productions and DJing, Chicago native Johnny Fiasco (whose real last name was Lopez) started his musical escapade playing the guitar. Where most house producers draw their influence from disco and funk greats, Fiasco turns to the Police, Talking Heads, Rush, and Herbie Hancock. Fiasco's first production was for Trax Records on the track called "Zig Zag." His sophomore EP was the "Progretto Fiasco" release, which unleashed him into the big time production circles. In time, Fiasco made his way to the acclaimed Chicago house label, Cajual Records, started by the legendary Cajmere. The reputation of Cajual, and his work for the label, launched Fiasco into a catalog of singles and recordings for other labels. In April of 2000, Fiasco released his first full length mix CD, Cluster, on Afterhours. Unfortunately, the man who asked Fiasco to do the album, Andy Adams (head of Afterhours), died shortly after the request, and the album was quickly turned into a tribute album to the label runner. Plenty of CDs to Give Away Tim Shumaker Gene Farris Gene Farris is the sinister minister of dance music's changing sounds. Farris1s global DJ track record and extensive discography of over forty productions are definitely a testament to the true Chicago house sound.
