For this edition of KEEP ON, we are very excited to welcome Chicago's Jaq Attaque! Rooted in Chicago, raised in the rave, Smartbar's Jaq Attaque has had a long and varied career in dance music. Blurring boundaries, sprinting across genres, and crossing the streams of the preconceived notions of dance music. With 30 years of DJing under his belt, the longtime Chicago stalwart has taken all that he’s learned over the years, running the gamut of electronic music, and stretched dance music to the limits of how it can all fit together. Beginning from the lynchpin of house and techno, his sets can span from RnB to Hardcore and most everything in between. Along with being the longtime production partner of The Blessed Madonna, Jaq Attaque has had scattered releases over the past 2 decades under his own name as well as numerous monikers and groups including: Local Hero, Noise Floor Crew, TRUSTUS, War Games, aKademy, Throwing Shapes, and SIGSALY. Jaq Attaque’s sounds are relentless, technical, playful, grooving, and, most importantly jackin’. As a regular at his home club Smartbar, his tastes are rooted in Midwestern house and techno, he has a love for finding great, overlooked tracks from oft dismissed genres. He is finding the music in everyday sounds and is adept at both the technical engineering elements and the honest unpolished artistry that balances his productions. His sound is refined, rich, and detailed, apparent in the music of the numerous artists for whom he has produced, mixed, and engineered.
