About

Born and raised in Chicago where House Music began, it is DJ Gilla's goal to explore the depths of music and share the record crate treasures he finds along the way through his meticulously crafted and seamless mixing wizardry, which is his extraordinary talent behind the decks. He seeks to create distinctive sounds that explore beyond the horizons of a field saturated with unoriginality and repetitivity.

With more than 20 years of experience as a musical technician, DJ Gilla has cultivated a strong sense of energy in his sound. This calls for a special talent to mix a wide variety of tracks that are deftly chosen to fit any specific situation or event. His mixes confidently transport partygoers on a voyage through time via an electric dancefloor experience of exhilarating peaks and deep, thought-provoking lows.

His musical heroes include Farley Jack Master Funk, Ron Hardy, Frankie Knuckles, Gene Farris, and Chris Underwood. This diversity of influences helps to define his distinctively jubilant style, which pays homage to the golden age of music. While there is no doubt that the legends have had a significant influence on his sound, he maintains a humble attitude toward his profession and firmly thinks that no matter how large or tiny, he can always learn something from each and every DJ he comes across.
