Local Hero is an eclectic breakbeat DJ hailing from Chicago. Although his sound can vary from house to new skool breaks to techno to Drum and Bass, his heart lies in breaks. Local Hero’s performances are composed of an artistic layering of funk, be it old school or new school, tech or disco, to create a poetry of sound and texture interspersed with quick cuts and deviceful mixing. He builds up and tears down the energy level urging the listener on to a multi dimensional journey. Local Hero’s improvisational mixing is tempered by a scientific approach to structuring the sound and stoked by his intuitive connection with the audience.
