For the twelfth episode of There Is No Planet Earth Stories, I'm joined by guest Jamie 3:26 representing stories from Chicago.
We discuss a range of topics including his formative music experiences growing up in the Beverly area on the South Side of Chicago, as well as being an adamant fan and follower of Ron Hardy around Chicago in the late 80's and Early 90's. Additionally, we discuss the origins and evolution of his career as a DJ and producer, and much more.
"The dance floor of Chicago’s Jamie 3:26 is one in which music heads and party goers alike can’t help but lose themselves in the rhythm. Driven by his desire to provide a liberating outlet for people, Jamie has garnered recognition for his fiercely masterful selection.
Touring globally and asserting himself on lineups, Jamie continues to flex his musical muscles and push boundaries.
Groove is the feeling when it comes to Jamie’s sets – which he curates by embracing everything from 30-year-old overlooked gems to scorching new tracks. Jamie’s productions are just as memorable as his sets and as head of 3:26 records he continues to nurture his sound and future talent. No stranger to remix duties, Jamie’s recent spin on Glitterbox’s ‘Gonna Be Alright’ is already a staple in bag of respected selectors.
Unapologetically authentic, Jamie 3:26 embodies the future of Chicago House music."
