We send our deepest and sincere condolences to the family of Chicago legend Taco Bops. His passing is a major loss to the world of music. There is literally nothing the man could not do. Taco Bops carried Chicago on his back and was a major driving force of industry in the Midwest Marketplace.

The man is truly irreplaceable.

Peace and comfort to his brother Zamir and the family during such a difficult time.

This week on Bang Le' Dex: Bernard Badie is one of a handful of producers to emerge from Chicago in the late 1980s during the early beginnings of House Music and whose track ‘Time Reveals’ is an undisputed Chicago House classic.

Bernard’s journey started at Chicago’s 89.3 FM WKKC back in 1986 as a hot mixer and broadcaster before stepping into music production in 1990 initially as ‘Jackin' Bernard Badie’. Following advice from Ray Barney of Dance Mania, Bernard set up his own label, DJB Records, where he showcased his own productions. In 1994 Bernard released under ‘Bernard Badie’ for the first time with the classic ‘Time Reveals’ and a busy period followed throughout the rest of the 90's including the well supported album ‘Sound Traxx’, released on the Distance label.

Since the millennium, Bernard has remixed for the likes of Ron Trent, Larry Heard and various independent label owners such as Roger Sanchez and has created several timeless classics like ‘Tonight’, ‘Truth Hurts’, ‘A Time To Dance’ and ‘Imagine’. Throughout Bernard's career, he has had dealings with a long list of the ‘who's who’ within House Music.

Whilst quality over quantity is his key ethos, it’s also the variety of Bernard’s music which makes him stand out from the crowd. From smooth soulful vibes to filtered French House to jackin' funky grooves through to serious driving late night beats with the odd downtempo track thrown in for good measure. This has seen him work with some household names in the form of vocalists Robert Owens, Dajae and Darryl Pandy whilst licensed to labels such as Cajual, Defected, Distance, Tony Records and countless others.

We are entirely excited to have him lace us with some wonderful House as our guest this week

😞🕊️

We’re heartbroken to share the passing of Malcolm-Jamal Warner at 54. The beloved actor, known for his iconic role as Theo Huxtable on The Cosby Show, passed away while on a family vacation in Costa Rica, tragically drowning while swimming. His decades-long career included standout roles in Malcolm & Eddie, Reed Between the Lines, and The Resident, as well as a Grammy win for his work in spoken word and music. A true multi-hyphenate actor, director, poet, and musician, he brought depth and power to everything he touched across generations. Rest in power, Malcolm.
