The late DJ Deeon in Chicago for BR x Dance Mania in February 2014.
His legacy as a Chicago trailblazer began in the South Side, soundtracking local house parties & selling mixtapes in parking lots. DJ Deeon soon went on to be one of the founding fathers of ghetto house, an X-rated subgenre of house music, releasing tracks on Dance Mania, Teklife & more.
In celebration of his contribution to the culture, we’ll be re-broadcasting his set today from 8pm BST.
