Farris\u00b9s global DJ track record and extensive discography of over forty productions are definitely a testament to the true Chicago house sound. Farris\u2019s unique dexterous DJ style that includes extended sultry, melodic blends with tuff beats makes him a party favorite around the world. House music is Farris\u2019s undoubted passion that also drives his full flavored, colorful studio creations. Farris\u2019s deep roots in house music and strive to be the best keeps him on the global electronic music industry\u2019s cutting edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pushed by local kids in his South Side neighborhood of Chicago Gene Farris caught the DJ bug at the tender age of twelve. Inspired by the likes of Ron Hardy, Prince, and Roy Ayers Farris began blending a mixture of funk, disco, and soul combined with eighties\u2019 pop icons such as, Duran Duran. One may still hear hints of disco in his style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even in his early years Farris was constantly on the move. By making mix tapes for his neighborhood buddies and selling them at many famed Windy City record stores like Gramaphone, Farris\u2019s spinning skills quickly developed. Not only did Farris\u2019s style evolve, his reputation rapidly grew. After many late nights \u2018beatn\u2019 down neighborhood block parties, Farris earned his childhood dream slot warming up for legendary Ron Hardy and Ron Carrol at the epic AKA Club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the early nineties approached, Gene Farris became a major player in the thriving Chicago dance scene. Wanting to hear more diverse house music Farris inevitably began to produce his own tracks. His first production style was tuff, loopy and tracky House. At the time Cajmere (of Green Velvet) just started a new label named, Relief Records. Close friend, Ron Trent, urged Farris take his hard hitting tunes to Relief Records. Trent thought Farris\u2019s tracky sound was perfect for the early Relief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>House music history was made when Farris took his demo to Relief Records. Hanging out in the Relief office was another young Chicago DJ called Sneak, who also just made his first demo. Farris and Sneak both had their tracks signed. The \u201cFarris Wheel\u201d EP was Farris\u00b9s debut release for Relief in 1994. Gene Farris, alongside like minded musicians such as DJ Sneak, Paul Johnson, Derrick Carter, DJ Rush, Ron Trent, Boo Williams and Glen Underground formed the new wave of notorious, soon to be globe trotting Chicago DJs and producers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The \u201cFarris Wheel\u201d EP was the beginning of a prolific production career. Gene Farris\u00b9s discography highlights works released on dance music\u00b9s most respected labels such as, Defected\/Fluential, Soma Records, Siesta Music, Force Inc., Formaldehyde, 83 West\/ Camouflage, Communique, Defmix, Static, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being a leader in the industry, Gene Farris started his own label, Farris Wheel Recordings, Inc. in 1998, with \u201cThe Copa Cabana\u201d EP. Among the label\u00b9s many loved EPs is FWR 008 \u201cThe Spirit\u201d \u2013 Gene Farris featuring Sneak remix. In February of 2001, Gene Farris unveiled Farris Wheel Recordings\u2019s spin-off, Farris Wheel Limited. Farris\u2019s concept for the new imprint is to steer away from saturated samples and feature more original, organic productions. Farris Wheel Limited artists are incorporating live feeds into their melodic soulful beats. Also, 2003 will see the release of the Farris Wheel imprint\u2019s first CD compilation of the its own catalouge mixed by Gene Farris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, Farris continues his travels around the globe DJing for his fans throughout the United States, Canada, and many European countries like Croatia, Holland, Israel, and Russia. However, Farris still finds time in his busy schedule to devote in the studio. He is is working on a full length album of original music for release in 2003. Farris\u2019s motive for the album is to push beyond the barriers of the current house music sound. Farris already collaborated with many remarkable dance musicians such as renowned house vocalist, Robert Owens and a fresh New York City production favorite, Onionz (just to name a few).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><p>When asked about his future in music Gene Farris passionately replies, \u201cHouse music is my one and only true love. I\u2019ve been with her for over sixteen years and never plan on leaving. She\u2019s my peace\u2026 me and the music.\u201d<\/p> <p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Gene Farris\" width=\"500\" height=\"450\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?visual=true&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Fusers%2F2284118&#038;show_artwork=true&#038;maxheight=750&#038;maxwidth=500\"><\/iframe><\/p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">WILL CLARKE<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.halcyon-sf.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Will-Clarke-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2741\" srcset=\"https:\/\/halcyon-sf.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Will-Clarke-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/halcyon-sf.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Will-Clarke-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/halcyon-sf.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Will-Clarke-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/halcyon-sf.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Will-Clarke.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar to many artists Will Clarke\u2019s sonic palette comes his experiences and influences from home and afar. The roots of his sound stem from both his home town of Bristol, and his seasonal home in Ibiza, which have forged Will\u2019s style; a style that fuses the best of Bristol\u2019s bass elements with the upfront house music sensibilities of the white isle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having started on his path of 4\/4 discovery at a young age Will\u2019s early career defining moment was gaining a residency at Kanya in Ibiza, where he was able to hone his skills day and night in front of the Ibiza crowd, and his DJ peers, gaining fanbase and respect along the way. Will explains \u201cPlaying in Ibiza felt natural straight away. I get on and work well there, it fits, it\u2019s my second home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cutting into the DJ circuit is no mean feat, but the cream rises to the top, so whilst Will is busy DJing at an ever growing list of clubs he\u2019s also getting prestigious gigs at clubs like Space and MOS. Along side these gigs Will has also be building his own club brand Cut a Rug. Holding regular parties at Motion in Bristol Cut A Rug have hosted the likes of Visionquest, Carl Cox, Boys Noize, Zombie Disco Squad and Hauswerks, with whom Will has been able to support on the decks, a job which is natural to him. Outside of the UK Will has been booked for his debut Australian tour towards the end of the summer. Along with trips back and fourth to NYC and not forgetting Ibiza during this summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet whilst DJing and promotion have been building well for Will, his real strengths lie in the studio. Having been committed to his studio for many years he also undertook a music production course that have seen him made rapid progress in a short time with releases on labels such as Anabatic, Exploited, Southern Fried, No Brainer along with the launch of his new label Cut A Rug. Some of Will\u2019s recent releases has had support from the likes of Jamie Jones, Mista Jam, Hannah Wants with plays on Radio 1 and Radio 1 Xtra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Talking of his approach to productions Will says \u201cI make music for clobbers, not DJs. I sample a lot of old school rave tracks from the 90s, with 21st Century production techniques.\u201d Then add those little influences from Bristol and Ibiza and you will understand why Will\u2019s music holds such a broad appeal and is often supported by fellow DJ\u2019s such as Justin Martin, Seth Troxler, Ardlander, J.Philip, Worthy, T.Williams, Waifs &amp; Strays, Pezzner and Miguel Migs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Will Clarke is a talented, skilled, young producer who is making strides in the dance music business with his own sound and now his own label \/ events. He has an impressive list of quality productions and remixes that is growing month by month and a great track record at his residencies and guest gigs. You know you can trust him to come up with the goods in the studio and in the club, Will just Cuts the Rug like that!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"djwillclarke\" width=\"500\" height=\"450\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?visual=true&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Fusers%2F492994&#038;show_artwork=true&#038;maxheight=750&#038;maxwidth=500\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ticket winners will party on NYE with GENE FARRIS and NYD with WILL CLARKE!
