Back when Frankie Knuckles and the Original Hot Mix Five were mixing live on the radio...moons ago..Chris Pappas was intrigued...enough to invest in gear and records.

Hitting up the nightlife in Chicago, Chris was treated to such a diverse scene. His first official DJ gig was a closet-sized booth/no dancing allowed...Here he was able to fine tune and hone his performing skills. Later, he met a friend who brought him to the largest gay attraction of the Midwest, formerly named The Douglas Dunes Resort, and now called The Dunes. The Dunes is set in the beautiful West Michigan area. This experience gave Chris the chance to thrill visitors from all around the globe, although most of the party people hailed from Chicago. After his residency, he found a new audience through radio at Western Michigan University's student run station WIDR FM. Be held the longest record for hosting an electronic dance show injected with global grooves and a variety of styles of dance genres as well.

Chris's message to any aspiring DJ who faces adversity in their journey to becoming successful.."Stay in the positive; have faith and believe in what you do; learn from your mistakes; be generous and listen to your heart. But most importantly, always stay in the light!"

"I am the darkest sound. I am the tribal spirit behind the speakers. I am the underground sound. I am Jack Chang." Trained in classical music for over eleven years, Jack Chang first took to the decks at the Freedom Café, London. Following a successful year there, Jack's funky house beginning rewarded him with his first residency at Love Muscle, at The Fridge in London. Jack soon saw that the funky house sound was becoming stale and he began to search for a new, more challenging sound. In 2000 he took up residency headlining the main room of UP (Underground Party) at the Rhythm Factory and rocked London's East-End with the sound of underground NY house. A more rhythmic sound began to emerge, and following a successful two years, he then appeared at the notorious FIST club in London. Seamlessly blending sounds from across Europe, the US and Asia, a more intense, hypnotic, tribal sound inspired by DJs such as Chus & Ceballos, Deep Dish and DJ Vibe began to emerge, infused with his own heritage. Word spread quickly, and since 2003 Jack has become renowned in the global dance world with his unique blend of Latin/Asian underground house. In 2003 his debut in the US at Palm Springs for the Hustlaball Pool Party was a thrilling success, and his European debut in Germany at Folsom Europe's first ever closing party, PiG Berlin, attracted over 1400 men. Later that year Berlin saw Jack's return for Hustlaball at the infamous KitKat Club. The European circuit quickly took up interest and soon followed his appearance at the renowned Project-X party in Berlin in 2004. Jack's success is not due to a single sound - his rhythmic, hypnotic sounds have been adapted to a more vocal, uplifting sound for mainstream events such as the Loveball in Barcelona and Greenkomm in Cologne, but his real success has been keeping the crowds at the biggest fetish events in Europe thrilled with his dark tribal beats. His clockwork mixing technique has both delighted and thrilled dance addicts and the fetish crowd, and also drawn both admiration and envy from fellow DJs around the world. The latest highlights of this year so far include headlining The Dome at Sydney Mardi Gras, Playgrounds in Amsterdam, with continued appearances at his residency in Rapido, also in Amsterdam, where he recently played the main stage. Jack has both the honour and pleasure of working with Folsom Europe once again to headline PiG Berlin - the biggest European men-only party and White Party Miami's White Starz Party in 2011.
