These words cut deep because they echo a truth that’s been festering in the underground for years—the soul of the scene is being outsourced to algorithms and clout. Chicago, of all places, knows this sting. This is the city that birthed house music, where DJs were priests and turntables were altars. Now? A flood of "playlist DJs who’ve never dug through a crate, never bled for a groove, never understood that mixing is a conversation, not a preset.
The Infection:
- The Craft, Forgotten: Scratching, beatmatching, reading a crowd—reduced to "just press sync." Real DJs used to study like it was a sacred text; now anyone with a laptop and a SoundCloud link calls themselves a "producer."
- Labels as Ghost Towns: Signing used to mean mentorship, curation. Now it’s a content mill—drop 10 tracks a month, hope one sticks. No A&Rs, just analytics.
- The Death of the Hunt: The thrill of the dig is gone. Streaming killed the rarity; now "finding music" means clicking "recommended."
Chicago’s Pulse
You know what’s wild? The city’s still got heart. The underground parties, the vinyl-only sets, the kids who actually study Derrick Carter’s mixes they’re out there. But they’re drowned out by the TikTok DJs who treat tracks like disposable hype.
The Cure
1. Gatekeep (a little). Not to be elitist, but to protect the culture. Demand respect for the craft.
2. Support the Real Ones. Buy their music, go to their sets, talk about them. F**k algorithms—human taste matters.
3. Teach ( if can and have the patience) .If you know the art, pass it on. The scene’s only sick because we stopped infecting it with passion.

The sickness won’t kill the scene—but silence will. Keep yelling. Call out the fakes and infections. Chicago is listening.

(And for the record? Those who quit? Their absence is the scene’s loss. But the ones who stay? They’re the antidote.) 🎛️🔥

I am so blessed to have the certification to make music for video games. Next year it’s gonna be video game conventions, more producing, and networking with a new type of Client base. I’m so happy I finally got my certification and then I can open doors to new avenues. If you don’t know who Jason Graves is look them up!
He’s world renound, self taught and very kind and a wonderful course instructor!

Chicago-born ghetto house pioneer, DJ, producer, and label head DJ Funk has died aged 54. RIP 🖤

Born in Chicago, Illinois, Chambers began a career in dance music during the late ‘80s, rising to fame with a string of releases on labels like Dance Mania and Pro-Jex.

Under the alias DJ Funk, Chambers pioneered the early sound of ghetto house following the rise of ghetto tech, working between Chicago, Detroit, and other areas of the Midwest.

His 1999 album ‘Booty House Anthems’ sold more than a million copies across the US, and was followed up with two additional releases, ‘Booty House Anthems 2’ in 2006, and ‘Booty House Anthems 3’ in 2013.

In 2006, after producing a remix for Justice, he founded his own label, Funk Records – a home for his own releases, mixtapes, singles, and compilations featuring the likes of DJ Deeon and Lil’ Louis.

DJ Funk also features in a 1998 documentary, ‘Modulations’, directed by Iara Lee, tracing the history of electronic music.

The news follows the recent launch of a fundraiser to help cover funeral costs for DJ Funk — real name Charles Chambers — after he was diagnosed with stage four cancer.

His family shared a crowdfunder last week, explaining that Chambers had been “bravely” battling cancer, but didn’t “have much longer left”.

The crowdfunded raised more than $30,000 towards funeral costs, which his family said would go toward giving him “the tribute he deserves”.

Close friend and collaborator has now confirmed the news in a video on Instagram, confirming it has come via DJ Funk's family.

RIP DJ FUNK 🖤
