K’ Alexi – Influences

We all know how important the city of Chicago is in dance music history. Along with spawning some of the finest sounds around, it has been home to all manner of the finest DJs, producers and musically-minded people around. One such figure is house music pioneer K' Alexi who spent the '80s developing friendships with the likes of Frankie Knuckles and Ron Hardy and hasn't stopped letting the music flow through him ever since. Before he heads to London this weekend, we asked him to tell us about some of the sights and sounds that have influenced him the most throughout his career.
See K' Alexi at Night Sheen on Saturday 15th August at East Bloc, find out more here.
This film came at a time when there wasn’t ANYTHING like it then or now and helped shape my young high school self.
