- A leading proponent in vintage & future Chicago/Detroit sounds.Bill's pivotal move to Chicago in 1988 marked a turning point in the evolution of his DJ and production journey. Originally hailing from Miami, he had already immersed himself in various facets of the music industry, ranging from his stint at the Flamingo Record Pool, overseen by Bill Kelly of WMC Fame, to his role as a guitarist for Synth/Goth band "Life In Sodom." His passion for both House and Industrial music served as the catalyst for his relocation to the Windy City, and in terms of timing, it couldn't have been more fortuitous. Bill swiftly embedded himself in the nightlife scene, securing residencies at renowned venues such as Shelter Nightclub, Crobar, and SmartBar. He emerged as a prominent figure in Chicago's second wave of House and Techno producers, and his influence extends far and wide, inspiring DJs like Black Madonna, Kink, Axel Boman, and Matrixxman. Bill's sonic palette is diverse, ranging from contemporary Detroit Techno and Chicago Acid to the hidden gems of House and Italo Disco tracks. Presently, you can catch him gracing the decks at esteemed establishments all around the US & overseas. In the sphere of music production, his journey embarked with a remix of Kay Ladrae's "Lack Of Love," a collaborative effort that included Vince Lawrence and Karr Crash (Sundowners). This marked the initiation of a highly productive sequence of releases, encompassing a full-length album on Trax Records. Notably, he has engaged in collaborative endeavors with IDF, 4 On The Floor, and collaborated with esteemed Chicago vocalist Darryl Pandy and Shay Jones (renowned for her association with Ministry). His creative output has been channeled through various aliases, including Sundowners, Billy Nightmare, & Savage Hymn, His remix catalog is equally notable, featuring reinterpretations of tracks like Hannah Holland's "Come Correct," Kiddy Smile's "Teardrops In The Box," and presently, Natalie Smash's "The Show" and ELO's "La Pampara."
