STARSCAPE - Saturday, Sept. 27th 2003 - Baltimore, MD

Green Velvet ROCKS!!!!!!!! fuck yea NOW im super excited. I have seen him twice and both times was amazing, hes an excellent producer and DJ. plus his voice is dead sexaY! MMMMHMMM yay im happy haha
 
he goes by two names, Cajmere and Green Velvet,if you never heard the track "La La Land" "Flash (deep dish remix) download them, theyre by him...he is really fun to see live, he goes crazy up in the booth dancing and shit, and last time i saw him he sang the lyrics on the mic to his songs. He did a lot of house, and mixed in some tech house and some plain techno. He doesnt go around too often spinning

heres a lil bio, its not that recent but interesting :)



"Cajmere (aka Green Velvet) studied chemical engineering at the University of Illinois, where he exposed himself to the energetic culture and lifestyle of house. In 1991, midway though graduate school, Cajmere returned to Chicago to pursue his dream of producing house music.

In 1992, after surviving on cheese sandwiches and maximizing credit limits, Cajmere finally made an imprint on the dance community with his infectious experiment, "Coffee Pot" (It's Time for the Percolator) – Clubhouse Records. Then he moved on to more complex musical and lyrical arrangements with songs like Lidell Townsell's "Get With U" (Mercury Records).

The Cajmere and Dajae collaboration resulted in a #2 Billboard Dance Chart and International dance hit - "Brighter Days". It was at this point that Cajmere decided to start Cajual Records. Having his own label gave Cajmere the autonomy to attain his goal of developing a sound that was representative of Chicago - thus, putting Chicago back on the map.

In 1993 Cajmere created Relief Records. The label became an outlet for he and other producers' more track-oriented work.

The Relief label also gave birth to the experimental and eccentric, afro wig-wearing entity we know as Green Velvet - a Cajmere alter ego.

Green Velvet produced the first release on the Relief label, "Preacher Man." He followed up the debut release with "Flash" and "The Stalker", both of which brought about unexpected praise and worldwide recognition.

In 1997, Green Velvet's attempt to combine 80s electronic funk with Chicago's cult of a perfect track led to his creation, "Answering Machine" - with the more humorous but rather contagious hook - "I don't need this shit!" For 1999 Green Velvet has crafted "Constant Chaos", an electronic trip over a lyrical landscape or as Green Velvet muses in a recent Muzik interview, "I guess it's sorta like folk music for the rave scene."
 
I've seen him as Cajmere and holy shit.

He also produced "Percolater"

*sigh*

i should hopefully know more def. plans this week.

well...looks like next year for me. im not going to be making it out due to bills, rent, car insurance, and every other bill i owe. also the fact icey will not be there is a big downer for me. green velvet is going to be a good replacement...but green velvet live is muuuuch better than a dj set.
