| In what we have come to know as the ever-changing world of electronic dance music, Wahi is a man on the rise. He resists conforming to genres and refuses to label his work. As a DJ his track selections are often audacious and brazenly fresh, challenging the audience towards expansion of their listening vocabulary as he simultaneously herds them onto the dance floor time and again. With the recent launch of his digital label Curbed Recordings and a residency playing beside some of the best artists in the world at Chicagos Vision night club hes definitely got his hands full. His resume includes opening for the likes of James Zabiela, MANDY, Steve Lawler and John Digweed who has been quoted as saying Wahi is set to make a splash in 2009. Trained in classical guitar as a child, its no wonder that once in high school his musical attention quickly shifted to the world of DJ culture. At the age of 21 he launched his DJ career playing Velvet in St Louis . After going on to play various clubs throughout Chicago, he emerged onto the global EDM scene through a relationship with Spundae in 2002. In 2008 Wahi launched his digital label, Curbed Recordings and with the release of his track More Soul Please, hes been getting plenty of plays and loads of attention from the worlds top DJs. Keeping busy, Wahi also hosts a monthly show on Proton Radio. At the pace hes working his way up through the ranks of global DJs, the rest of us have only to sit back and watch his rise to the top. http://www.residentadvisor.net/dj-profile.aspx?id=2371 |
