Real Name:
Paul Leighton Johnson
Profile:
American house DJ and producer
Born: 11th January 1971 Chicago, Illinois, USA
Died: 4th August 2021 Chicago, Illinois, USA
He released a vast amount of music for some of the most consistently underground dance labels before hooking up with Peacefrog Records. 12" releases on the likes of Cajual Records / Relief Records and Dance Mania led to his debut album release "Bump Talkin'" in 1996. This and the follow up "Feel The Music" became two of the most talked about releases of their time. His remix work for Stacy Kidd, Joey Beltram, Green Velvet, Armando, Ce Ce Peniston, Ron Trent, K-Alexi, and Steve Poindexter made its way into all the big jocks boxes, many of which remain there to this day.
He lost the use of his legs as a result of a shooting accident in 1987, and required a wheelchair for mobility.

Absolutely devastated. A huge influence for many of us in the UK. He did more to keep the raw basement house sound of chicago alive than many, proving that proper house and techno are actually just a paper thin length away from each other. loads of good records, listing them now would take too much time. Rest in peace big man.
