xesschicago Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 Friday, February 17th, 2006X'ESS ENTERTAINMENT PRESENTS....TOUCHE' AT CACTUS!featuring....ANDRE HARRISThe city of Chicago is known for its architecture, art, windy weather and a solid tradition of celebrated House DJs and producers. Continuing this tradition is Andre Harris and styles all this own to the work music scene.Andre Harris’ love of house music inspired him to journey into djing at the age of twelve beginning with talent shows, school dances, and basement parties. His enthusiasm for music and talent carried him to the club circuit, where at the ripe age of fourteen, he spun his first residency at the Rainbow Roller Rink in Chicago. Being by no means an average DJ he began promoting events putting him side by side with other talents like Lil Louis and Farley “Jackmaster†Funk. Andre was being influenced heavily by these and other well known DJs in Chicago. Andre decided to pursue djing seriously.After graduating high school and attending college, the call to Dj was stronger than ever and once again bringing him to the world of lost parties, after hours, and raves. Sparked by this new found life in Chicago’s music scene Andre Harris was determined to be deeply involved. In 1993, he earned a Friday night residency at Club Medusa’s, where he was recognized for his skill and knowledge of the soulful harder side of house music. It wasn’t long before patrons and employees started getting him guest appearances at various venues around the city like Red Dog, Neo, Cairo, and Smart Bar to name a few, all while still promoting his own events. In 1996 Andre earned another residency at Club Elixir on Friday nights.Yet this was not enough, Andre was ready to produce music so in 1997 his first project “I Can’t Take It/Ain’t it a Groove†was released on Cajual Records, receiving good press in Mix Magazine. This single was licensed for the Taste of Cajual mix CD mixed by friend and DJ Mark Grant. In 1998 “Pecking Peace/Lifted†was also released on Cajual Records to rave reviews in Mix Magazine & XLR8R Magazine. That year would prove to be a good year for Andre Harris: with two weekly club residencies, many guest appearances around Chicago, the Chicago Tribune naming his Friday night gig at Elixir one the “Hottest nights in the City of Chicagoâ€, and Mix Magazine naming Andre as one of the “Hardest working men in House Music.â€&Julian Pena | X'ESS--------------------------------------------------------------------------------$3 IMPORT DRAFTS AND $3 LEMONDROPS!!!$5 Patron shots$4 Red Stripe Bottles$4 Blue Mother F*ckers$5 ALL NIGHT WITH RSVPRSVP HERE:http://www.xessentertainment.com/house/list/list.php?eventID=60217CACTUS404 south wellschicago, il 6060721+ ID Required9PM - 2AM------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Saturday, February 18th, 2006X'ESS ENTERTAINMENT and SMART CLUBBER PRESENT....GLOBAL SOUND SATURDAYS!!
