CHRIS SIMMONDS | GANGSTERCAST 20 by I'M A HOUSE GANGSTER published on 2013-10-09T11:11:56Z With releases on Shaboom, Magnetic, Robsoul, DJ Sneak Classics, and his own Cross Section Records amongst several others, London DJ / producer Chris Simmonds, aka Kidsmart, House Proud People, Smooth & Simmonds, Retro Emotion, Private Funk and Bakers Dozen is one of the long-standing veterans of underground house music and a true House Gangster. Earning his stripes in the 1980's working for Time Radio in London and running Wax Factory Records, meeting and engineering for the likes of Carl Cox, Colin Dale and Rocky (X-Press 2). It was a release on Richie Hawtin's Definitive Records that really kick started things however, and led to the birth of Cross Section Records. Chris says his mix for the Gangstercast represents him as an artist because, "I like to take risks, keeps things varied and keep the music tight. I think all those boxes are ticked on this mix." Talking about his approach for the mix he adds, "Usually before I do a mix I play for a about 15mins and see how I feel. If I feel right I simply press record and play and every track is the mood I'm in at that moment. By the time I've checked myself again I've playing for nearly 2hrs, job done and something different on the end to close. The moment was captured and delivered to you by one of the best djs you've never heard!" "House music is a very big part of my life. I wouldn't have seen so much of the world, experienced different cultures and had some of the best times of my life without House music. No matter where my production career takes me I will never stop making and supporting House. The House Gangster sound is underground, not watered down or commercialised in any way." http://www.imahousegangster.com http://www.crosssectionmusic.com http://www.thewhiteroomentertainment.com Genre House Comment by matt_jones_dj all killer no filler 2016-05-25T14:25:29Z Comment by FUNKBO Love to hear your mixes and music Chris! 2015-04-25T23:01:55Z Comment by A.F.C. cool 2015-02-24T22:16:12Z Comment by Andrew Galea(Sol Brothers) nice 2015-02-14T17:23:36Z Comment by FUNKBO I have this record! 2014-11-26T21:29:19Z Comment by Disco Project Recordings oooooooooooo to sick true 2014-09-10T05:30:01Z Comment by Alexander Francisc Gille Love it ! 2014-07-29T09:36:24Z Comment by KADMAN_DJ chris, real dope man ! 2014-07-28T21:26:37Z Comment by André Sotelo nice 2014-05-01T00:38:15Z Comment by binnein just gotta love this fucking bareback session. 2014-01-29T13:55:34Z Comment by Igor De La Cruzz d(>.-)b 2014-01-25T04:15:04Z Comment by Igor De La Cruzz d(>.-)b 2014-01-25T03:46:49Z Comment by Igor De La Cruzz d(>.-)b 2014-01-25T03:46:06Z Comment by MMA JEDI nice traxx!! 2013-12-26T22:34:43Z Comment by ptrckaguiar funky funky funky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2013-12-10T17:25:56Z Comment by ptrckaguiar ihá! 2013-12-10T16:45:08Z Comment by Ed Nine hell yea!!! 2013-12-04T20:15:24Z Comment by Dynamic Rockers Id please? thanks! 2013-11-20T03:41:47Z Comment by The_Elf YESSS track id anyone pleeease 2013-11-08T13:04:22Z Comment by imjustbwall That's Doc!! 2013-11-07T20:19:28Z Comment by THIJS HAAL ID? 2013-11-06T20:30:09Z Comment by PACHUCO ID!!! 2013-10-26T03:34:25Z Comment by PACHUCO Ooof 2013-10-26T03:32:54Z Comment by Piero Pujazón. id of intro please!, is very gansta! 2013-10-25T18:12:26Z Comment by bw_cameron C 2013-10-22T23:01:37Z Comment by Strictly Steve awesome set! 2013-10-22T15:01:52Z Comment by Giles Phillips 1 BIGGER N BIG!!!
