A notable figure among Chi-Town's second generation of House visionaries, dance floor favorite Gene Farris is not welcome in your living room. Remembering the best of what Disco had to offer by employing traditional sampling techniques, Farris' loyalty lies in the social aspect of the 4/4 groove. Adept at luring a sizable crowd with addictive loop samples and reliable rhythms, Farris stands apart from such contemporaries as Thomas Bangalter and Green Velvet (acts that flaunt a distinctive, individual sound) by sticking to a more traditional Chicago House blueprint.
