>> Giordan Fields
bio: In the early 80’s, a 12-year-old kid out of Chicago named Jordan Fields had already taught himself to break-dance, DJ and make re-edits using a boombox and a little pause-button dexterity. Inspired by his older brother, he became a fanatic about mixing and scratching and soon found himself DJ’ing in the earliest days of what would later be known as the “Chicago House” scene.
Hooking up with Rick Lenoir (producer of LNR’s “Work It to the Bone”- House Jam) in the early 90’s, Fields released his first single “The Thrillseekers” EP, a jazzy house classic featuring Jordan on the mic scatting “SHOO BEE DOO DOO WAAAAAAAAA!!”. Dozens of releases later on both major and indie labels, Fields has refined a sophisticated, soulful groove that has made him a household name the world over. His 2002 release on Mo’ WAX/Beggars Banquet, “Moments In Dub” was a both commercial and critical success by mashing up deep-house, hip hop and acid-fried funk into the mix. In 2004, Fields contributed to Derrick Carter & Mark Farina’s “Live At Om” mix-cd (OM RECORDINGS) with “The Session (Move Ya Body remix)", a track composed by Jordan and longtime friend Roy Davis Jr.
Fields continues to run his own label Headphoniq, and is currently making the DJ rounds spinning sets of wild and diverse styles from Chicago and NYC Garage House to Disco, Detroit Techno, Electro, Nu Wave, Nu Jazz, Broken Beat, Lounge, Brazilian and Dub.
