CHEZ DAMIER & CHRISTO Z

Chez Damier has devoted his life to dance music. After starting out in Chicago, he set up fabled Detroit nightclub the Music Institute with Derrick May and Alton Miller, looked after the business affairs and studio output of Kevin Saunderson’s KMS label, and helped countless producers get a start in the game. On top of that, he has a storming discography of his own, and his work with Ron Trent encapsulates a golden era of house. In this session at the 2006 Red Bull Music Academy in Melbourne, he tells us how he got lost in the music.
