GREEN VELVET CONCERTS
Saturday, December 7
“Green Velvet, initially created by house don Curtis Jones (aka Cajmere) as an outlet for his non-vocal productions and frequent DJ’ing gigs, grew to become even more popular than the man himself, thanks to club singles like “Preacher Man,” “Answering Machine,” and “The Stalker.” These were infectious, undeniably fun records with simple vocal tag lines and a wonderful sense of humor. Jones, who had nurtured the Chicago house renaissance of the 1990s with his Cajual Records, gained immense success in 1993 with the Cajmere single “Brighter Days” (vocals by Dajae). Later that year, he formed the sub-label Relief, mostly for instrumental tracks by himself and others.” – Green Velvet AllMusic.com Biography
