deep house

There are two artists by the name of Chris Gray: 1) A house artist from Mississippi. 2) A country singer and multi-instrumentalist from Louisiana. --- 1) It began Spring of '86 when a poorly-recorded WKKC 89.3 FM mixtape fell into his hands. A close cousin had provided him with a new style of music that would change his life forever. Although the seeds of house music were planted in the culture rich pockets of Chicago during the late 70's and early 80's, its presence had yet to be felt in the fertile farmlands of the Mississippi Delta.

Matthew Bandy has been experimenting with electronic music for the past 9 years as a DJ, producer, live performer, and label manager. Originally born in Flint MI, he remembers spending much of his early childhood banging objects together listening to new sounds, going through his parents¹ records and old 45¹s on his Fisher Price turntable, and trying to dance like Michael Jackson. He credits most of his influences through Jazz, Hip-Hop, Rock, Soul, Punk, the Fender Rhodes, percussion, mix-tapes, and sounds from Detroit, Chicago, New York, and the West Coast.
