DJ Heather

Origin: United States

DJ Heather was named one of Chicago’s Top Forty-Five Artists alongside Kanye West, Billy Corgan and Green Velvet!

In past years the Chicago house community has produced a number of innovative and distinct djs trained in the art of transforming tranquil dance floors into spaces of sheer bedlam and bliss. Their committed vision of undiluted musical appreciation, interactive communication, improvisation and basic integrity has brought greater attention to all the city’s great djs including the genre busting DJ Heather. Widely regarded as one of the premier selectors in the nation, this Chicagoan demonstrates her skills and sharp deck acumen for the massives throughout the Windy City and the world at large with verve and undeniable talent. DJ, producer and sometimes vocalist, Dirty Sole (Classic, Robsoul) kicked off the new Apollo label with their single “Driving”, featuring Chicago comrade & label partner, DJ Heather (20:20 Vision, OM, Seasons) on vocals.

DJ Heather received rave reviews for her installment to the much heralded Fabric CD series, for the club of the same name. “With [Fabric] 21 I had a concept in mind; most of the material had to have been played at the club to give it an honest feel.” Judging by critics and house enthusiasts she has done just that. “At the end of the day to make a room full of people happy is difficult to do. You become part mind reader , guru, sensei, educator, entertainer and babysitter all at once. All the experiences I have had, made who I am today. As a person and dj. I love what I do.”

DJ Heather toured extensively with Colette in support of their House of OM double disc release and has released subsequent projects with Om Records including Summer Sessions 2 mixed by Om family members DJ Heather and Onionz. The release followed the success of the first volume of the series mixed by Groove Junkies, Chuck Love and DJ Fluid. Then she joined fellow OM label artists – Colette, Fred Everything and Andy Caldwell – on the House of OM tour throughout North America.

In 2009, the annual Second City Sessions tour kicked off featuring DJ Heather alongside Colette for exclusive back to back extended sets and has been going strong ever since. The tour has gained a loyal fan following over the years, touching down coast to coast across North America from San Francisco to Toronto, Calgary to New York as well as Mexico.

With over 20 years of experience behind her Dj Heather has grown to become one of the Windy City’s main Dj exports. She is an artist who defies conformity, defines quality and continues to nurture her solid skills for soul music of the technological generation.
