DJ and producer K Alexi is one of Chicago's true heroes and cited by many as a pioneer the city's sound- Kaay's first pressing 'Essence of a Dream' is still regarded a classic today. At the age of 12 Kaay was already moving in the right circles, befriending worldwide legends like Frankie Knuckles and Ron Hardy whilst frequenting the famous Warehouse. His upbringing in Chicago in the 70's and 80's meant that Kaay was exposed to a range of genres and different styles of music including Stevie Wonder, Prince, Curtis Mayfield and David Huff - these same names would prove to be the roots of influence. A tally of successful hit records remixing and collaborating with other artists resulted in his talents being sought by a diverse range of artists like The Pet Shop Boys, Derrick May, Angel Abi, Paul Johnson, Mr Lee (who produces for R Kelly). He's also worked with Larry Heard & Robert Owens, Dave Angel, Tjen Tjen, Felix Da Housecat and Will Smith. Just as notorious for his DJing ability as his production, Mr Alexi has played at just about every exotic location imaginable. Show less
