This is Tyrel Williams’ second DJ mix for FM Danceteria. Tyrel has been a mainstay of Chicago’s underground House scene for years. He began mixing records in 1999. Soon after he landed a job at Gramaphone Records where he spent the last decade building a mighty collection of 12” dance records. He spent 2010 and 2011 building his Acid Test residency at Smart Bar, which is an ongoing all vinyl House / Techno weekly dedicated to the true art form of DJing. Guests included Miles Maeda, Joshua (IZ), Derrick Carter and Tevo Howard. Tyrel has recently moved to San Francisco.

This episode of Out of Print highlights over 1 hour of Tyrel’s last set at the legendary and didactic dotbleep monthly at Smart Bar. Justin Long, the purveyor of dotbleep, has been a big supporter of Tyrel through the years. We here in Chicago are upset that SF has lured away yet another of our talented DJ luminaries. We already miss the man...but at least we have his music.

This is Tyrel Williams. This is acid. This is House.
