Biografía
- Based in Chicago since 2000, Jerome Derradji is a French Dj, Producer and the owner of Chicago's most active Dance Music labels: Still Music, Past Due Records, Stilove4music and Still Techno.DJ, producer, compiler, and label operator Jerome Derradji started spinning records at the age of 15 and was, at first, inspired most by jazz and soul. During the tail-end of the '90s, house music caught his ears. In 2000, he moved from his native France to Chicago, Illinois and worked at record store Dr. Wax as an import buyer. Derradji established Still Music in 2004 as an outlet for the music he felt wasn't getting enough support. Within a few years, Still released singles and albums by producers from all over the planet, though the label had a special affinity for Detroiters with releases by the likes of Rick Wilhite, Delano Smith. As Derradji's reach extended to reissuing obscure disco, funk, and house, executing his own re-edits, and supporting additional musicians, he set up Past Due Records, Stilove4music and Still Techno as sublabels. He also took on more ambitious projects, beginning with The American Boogie Down -- a two-disc package, released in 2008 on BBE, that featured his DJ mix of material he had reissued, along with a disc of unmixed selections. Extensive later compilations released on Still, including 122 BPM: The Birth of House Music, Kill Yourself Dancing: The Story of Sunset Records Inc., Bang the Box!: The (Lost) Story of AKA Dance Music, and The House That Jackmaster Hater Built, were deep dives into the rich dance music history of his adopted hometown. Jerome's own productions and edits have been played by The Chemical Brothers, Dj Harvey, Laurent Garnier, Ben UFO, Marcel Dettmann, Norman Nodge, Rolando, Floating Points, DVS1, Dan Curtin, Skream, Gilles Peterson and many others. Jerome's "SOS" track is in the top 100 tracks played at Berghain.̸Jerome Derradji vs OK MA - SOS 12" Stilove4music Jerome Derradji - Have Me A Party 12" Stilove4music Jerome Derradji & Rahaan - Concrete Reservation Part 1 12" Stilove4music Jerome Derradji - Play On 12" Stilove4music Jerome Derradji - Disconnect 12" - Stilove4music Jerome Derradji - A Bump In Da Raw 12" Stilove4music Jerome Derradji - Machine Jacked 12" Still Music
