xesschicago Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 friday, february 13th, 2004 x'ess entertainment and zentra nightclub present: Sweet&LowDown Fridays @ Zentra featuring A very special tribute to Paul Johnson. First time performing in Chicago since his operation. Don't miss this event and pay your respects to the legend himself Paul Johnson. Paul Johnson Born and raised in the birthplace of House Music, 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. “Playing With a Rubber Band", “Just Whistle”, “Burnin’ for Your Yearnin’”, and of course, “Get, Get Down” (which, by the way, came out on Moody, Defected, Fuel, Legato, and Rise), have all become part of our hearts, our minds, and our souls. Terry Hunter THE DJ--THE PRODUCER--THE REMIXER-- and one of the masterminds behind the UBQ Project. Deriving from the word Ubiquity which means ‘the state of being or seeming to be everywhere at the same time; omnipresent’, the name UBQ says it all. Terry began his career in the music industry as a mobile disc jockey working with some of Chicago’s top djs and promotion companies. Gaining a vast array of knowledge, technique and experience, Terry was ready to debut onto the scene with his first release. The song was a house track entitled “Madness.” “I created a big buzz on the record by playing it myself at various parties”, Terry states, ... “it started out as a basement track, but became much more!”, just as many legendary house tracks did. But this wasn’t enough for Terry. Terry then teamed up with the Music Plant, and began traveling on world wide tours as a renowned DJ. He has also gained a reputation as a well known Producer and Remixer. His Discography lists many remixes for major artists such as, Michael Jackson, Dina Carroll, Ten City, Zhane, Mary J. Blige, Brownstone, India, Georgie Porgie, Crystal Waters, Enrique Iglesias. He has produced such classics as: “Symphony Of Love” and “When I Fell In Luv,” plus the pop hit from Georgie Porgie, “I’m In Love”. Gaining further exposure with his club hit “Harvest for the World” released through RCA, he continuous this great momentum with his current Music Plant release entitled “Off The Wall.” Terry is currently a spokesperson for Numark and is now working on his first album, scheduled for release by fall of 2001. George Jackson George has had DJ residencies and guest spots in some of Chicago’s hottest nightclubs such as The Sidecar, Red Dog, Prop House, Detour and others. He has been a resident DJ for The Prop House, Hidden Lounge, and The Upstairs Lounge. In 2001, George’s DJ highlight sparked an unforgettable experience when he DJ’ed in Sydney, Australia. He was added to the schedule to do a 2-hour set at Tankclub (located in The Establishment Hotel). After receiving many encores during his set, it turned into a 5 hour set; and also led to a standing ovation at the end of his set. The word spread to Melbourne, Australia, and three days later, he was asked to do a set at the now defunct, Chevron Nightclub. DJ Emmanuel along with a live vocal performance by: 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.

Since 'Get Up' dropped in 96 Byron has enjoyed success all over the globe as the male 'diva' enjoys a revival.
