Dj.Mc - Relentless

Dj.Mc is a producer and DJ from Chicago's Low End projects on the South side. He got interested in music and dancing through watching the Bud Billiken parade through Chicago as a child and joined the South Shore Drill dance team, marching to ghetto house. After hearing a juke and ghetto house tape by Gant-Man in 1998, he was later inspired to produce, alongside other local producers DJ ROC and EQ-Why while at High School. 

Following this he was mentored by another local producer, Majik Myke and then Gant-Man himself, bonding with the footwork dance Clique Goon Squad along the way. His first international release was on 2010's Bangs and Works comp on Planet Mu, but after a five year break from footwork, he was encouraged to get back into it by DJ Spinn, earlier last year.

Dj.Mc's style is spacey and varied, from the the low slung 'Who Wants Smoke' which rides a driving bassline, wavy synth line and repetitive chants padded with rhodes keys, to ‚5,4,3,2,1' which balances minimal elements, echoed samples, claps, an icey-cold synthline, stabbing bass and toms and lots of room which gives the track an almost eerie, weightless feel. 'House Goin Viral' is a warm and wonky juke track while 'Space Godz' is bleepy and alien. 'Chicago Flow' is a sour cocktail, mixing up old school house stabs and kicks against strange sirens, while 'Go Down' cuts up a classic 90's R&B ballad adding a breathy flute.
