The Vietnam-born Le spent the `90s kicking around LA, absorbing the spacey, mind-warping West Coast sound and putting in a three-year residency at Melrose`s Kontrol Faktory party. After relocating to Chicago, giving up on and subsequently rediscovering DJing, he began producing his own dark, tech-y tracks under the name Kyaro with new ally and future Auralism founder Jason Short. (Le currently has several solo and collaborative projects in the works.)

In 2000, Le co-founded Global Trip, a Mexico-based company that has imported everyone from Lee Burridge to Deep Dish to Dimitri from Paris; he also forms the heart of Play Co. & Friends, a cadre of producers, artists, and DJs who promote Chicago`s underground scene through parties, radio shows, and podcasts. Still, the turntables remain Hac`s true passion, reinforced when John Digweed chose Hac`s mix as the winner of FutureMusic`s Next Big Thing DJ contest and James Zabiela in the recent DJ Mag poll named him "Breakthru DJ of 2008". Le`s sets, which will carry him around the globe in the coming year, are where his longstanding infatuation with dance music comes alive. "On one hand, I have the Chicago house influence, on the other, the nearby Detroit techno, and my West Coast background. It all comes together in a very nice fusion which people enjoy and seem to have a hard time categorizing!" Show less
