xesschicago Posted December 20 Report Share Posted December 20 friday, december 24th, 2004x'ess entertainment, paul anthony and zentra nightclub present:Sweet & LowDownPaul Anthony Birthday BashMERRY X'ESS-MAS!!featuring:Terry MullanIf you are not familiar with his sound, Terry jacks the system with a blinding fusion of jackin chi-town house, quirky acid tracks, and ofcoarse lots and lots of the deep stuff. Its the sound of chicagos funked-up next generaton filled with bangin wharehouse rhythms and cooled out basement vibes practiced at endless races and put to the test on his releases on catalyst and smile as speaker phreaker and it has earned him a reputation that extends world wide. If you have experienced a Terry Mullan set (and chances are you have) then you know he cold rocks the show, nuff said. However, in an effort to preserve his sanity on the face of his own whirlwind schedual and to focus on the task of production and lable management, Terry has decided to reduce the amount of bookings he will be takeing over the next couple of monthsa show not to be missed.DJ FunkWhat words can describe this fixture of the Midwest rave scene? Pioneer? Crowd-Favorite? Ghetto House Royalty? DJ Funk has produced anthem after anthem that we all know the words to. Funk is the figurehead of the entire musical genre we call Ghetto House. He even has his own label Funk Recordings! Recently remixing acts like Basement Jaxx and Angel Alanis, in turn causing Funk?s style to invade all genres of house music.Paul AnthonyHailing from the Chicago-land area, it was easy to seee how house music had an influence on Paul early in his career. Paul began perfecting his deejay craft in 1989 as a teenager playing local clubs and house parties. Even back then it was easy to see that Paul would emerge as a force in the Chicago music scene. Paul had become a sought after deejay, even back then, he could incite a crowd into a dance frenzy. Searching for a way to channel his love for Chicago house music Paul began attending some of Chicago's underground electronic events in 1997. There he watched as deejays such as Sneak, Derrick Carter, Terry Mullin, Dave Clark sent the crowd into another place spiritually. Paul knew where he wanted to take his career, to the underground scene. Paul began promoting himself to major Chicago production teams such as Boogietribe, Vibonauts, and N'Joy. After much hard work Paul finally received his chance while playing for a major Chicago event for Boogietribe. There, Paul wasted no time convincing the masses that he belonged. The reviews said it all. "Paul Anthony stole the show with his set-starting scratch assault." and " Chicago has a new house player." This would only be the beginning. The attention had continued to grow into 2001 as Paul Anthony was feature in Underground Construcion's "Four X's Harder" mix compilation. The cd was available across the nation and gave Paul more exposure throughout the electronic music scene. Paul's notorious scratch wasn't the only thing that people were talking about. His track selection and the ability to get his hands on hard-to-find vinyl which made him one of those deejay's deejay. Everyone wanted to know what Paul was spinning, which was evident in the many over the shoulder label readers Paul had to deal with. The education into house music was made by Paul working at the legendary Chicago record store The Hip House, a store where many Chicago deejay legends got there start. Angel Alanis, Dj Sneak, and Halo to name a few. There Paul was the house music buyer. Over the years Paul has played for many major event promoters across the nation sharing the main stage with legends such as Bad Boy Bill, Dj Sneak, Derrick Carter, Casjmere, Ritchie Hawtin, Armand Van Helden, Rabbit and the Moon, Gene Farris, Skylab 2000, KRS-1, etc...... Paul looks to the future and his career with a positive approach. New projects include producing tracks on his own record label, Fabric Records and touring the country on the Planet Bass Tour with Nigel Richards, Dj Funk, skylab2000,and Michael Myers. When booking Paul Anthony, expect the very best house music has to offer. One wouldn't call Paul Anthony just a deejay but rather a performer because when Paul comes to the decks, the first beat drops, the vicious scratch begins.In the Chance VIP Room:MARK ALMARIAREES URBANDISCO PHILELUCKY LUCIANODJ K-SERATERRORIST VILLIAN--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Residents:Sativa & Jay-funk / hip hop & old schools&ld resident dj x'ess resident / housex’ess resident djX'ESS Hosted VIP Cocktail Reception from 9 - 10pm!Drink Specials::$4 Shots-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Guest list rules:Free before 10$5 10 -11$10 11 - midnight$15 afterwardsGuestList Available at:www.xessentertainment.comZentra Nightclub923 Weed St..Chicago, IL 21+ ID Required Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
