DJ Rashad has been instrumental to the creation and evolution of Chicago Juke music and has been lifelong friends with other key players on the scene such as Paul Johnson, DJ Gant-Man, DJ Spinn, DJ Godfather and Jammin Gerald.
He has the ability to blend elements of house, ghetto house, disco, juke, and ghetto tech together with a knack for creating sparse, snappy tracks that manage to convey a physicality and funk with spectacular precision.
Long established as a driving force behind the international footwerk pandemic, DJ Rashad broke new ground with releases for Planet Mu and is now prepping a solo release on Hyperdub recordings, alongside a Fabric London performance alongside Kode 9 this March.
