The Chicago house community has brought greater attention to all the city’s great djs, including the genre busting DJ Heather.
Widely regarded as one of the premier selectors in the nation, this Chicagoan demonstrates her skills and sharp deck acumen
for the masses throughout the Windy City and the world at large with verve and undeniable talent.
Her interest in music was sparked early on by her parents eclectic music collection. A full spectrum of jazz, blues, rock, soul
and folk was part of the Robinson household. With a foundation set, she began to discover her own tastes ranging from the
Jackson 5, Chic, Blondie and Kiss. The British New Wave, Ska, Punk the burgeoning Hip Hop and Industrial movements further
sparked her enthusiasm for music.
“I felt as if I was on a mission of discovery. Vintage Vinyl and Big Daddys in Evanston became my haunts. I loved finding new
bands and sounds such as Depeche Mode, The Specials, Black Flag, Treacherous Three and Ministry making them my own. I
would then share them with friends by making tapes. Medusas presented a true club experience to underage kids. I think the
teens of Chi-town felt that they werent really missing out on what the adults were doing. That was undoubtedly our own world.
If we were lucky enough to sneak into clubs like La Rays, Warehouse and The Music box that made our dance music
experiences all the more meaningful.” « hide |
