We hope the world listens to episode 10 of Blend LA Podcast.
After this episode with Chicago House Music legends, Jesse Saunders and Wayne Williams, people will understand how amazing House Music is and how it transcends everything, from skin color to homophobia. These conversations were recorded with no edits, as raw and real and spontaneous as the creativity in House Music itself.
The hosts of The AMP Collective had the opportunity to sit down with two of the founders of The Chosen Few DJs, Jesse Saunders and Wayne Williams from Chicago, at the House of Vibes Sunday brunch, at the legendary Fais Dodo in Los Angeles, thanks to our Brother in House and segment producer, DJ Naneek Divad. The first on-location interviews ever! They both break down "House Music" to it's foundation and essence because they are both!
DJ Big D and Dayslayer go back to their childhoods, from the days of one turntable and basement parties and find out what life was like in the 70's and 80's for two young Black kids from the Southside of Chicago and how they birthed a music genre known and danced to around the world called HOUSE MUSIC.
Blenders will definitely truly understand where House came from after episode 10. EPIC EPISODE 10.

Sincerely,
DJ Big D and Dayslayer
