Good night at Betty's. This night we had the London dj's from SSR radio & Andre Harris. This is my first week back after a gig in Japan. I was told before I left that I would not look at Betty's the same when I came back from Japan. I still like playing on my home turf but I do have to admit I like a little special treatment every now and then. I know that my regulars know that they are getting music that they would not hear in other partys in Chicago. Do not get mne wrong there are good parties in Chicago and great dj's in Chicago. I do know that we do have something special at Betty's. We are not trying to be New York or any other place we are doing Chicago in the present.

This is the second set from Urbans house Jan 22 09. For those who were not there this was very packed night a lot of my buddies showed up. To me this set represents what Chicago house is all about!!

This was a special night at Betty's. We held our year end party as a tribute to Red Dog feat. Red Dog residents Lil John & Johnny Fiasco. Unfortunatly Johnny could not make the date. Mark Grant was called in to replace him. Mark was also a resident at Red Dog on Monday nights for the Boom Boom room party.

I was a frequent vistor of Red Dog during the 90's. This mix features some of the music that was played during that time. A few other songs were played in this mix as well. The majority is red dog cutz.

For the mixes we were only able to record 3hrs of the night due to problems with the recording device. We oly got my mix and some of Mark Grants mix. The cool thing about this night was that it was jam packed. People were dancing from song number 1. This was a night that should have not been missed!

This what happens when two of Chicago's veteran djs get together.. Get ready to go into some places!! The deal here was two records a peice. Sean Smith first then FLX then back again.
E N Jo Y!!
