Lee Jarvis and I (Jeremiah Seraphine) are kicking off a new deep house collaboration tomorrow night at Martini Ranch. We will be working together to bring our unique take on deep house to venues around Chicago. Tomorrow night we’ll be visiting Whatever Wednesdays with residents Gerald Moore and Dysqo.
Many of you know Lee Jarvis from his impressive discography on labels such as Lost My Dog, 4Kenzo, 1200 Traxx, Trendy Mullet, Fazed Music and Revolutionary Music (as Earl Jives). He also ran one of London’s hottest jackin’ house nights right up until he moved to Chicago. His party, called Moochin, showcased artists such as Joey Youngman, the Littlemen, Quirk Burglars, Massimo Dacosta and our own Shifty Johnson to name a few. He has certainly established himself at the forefront of the global jackin’ house community. Mr. Jarvis now plans to explore the deeper shades of house further than he ever has before.

I have just started DJing again using my real name – Jeremiah Seraphine. For the past seven years I’ve been using an alter ego to explore different sounds – jackin’ house, tech house, minimal, fidget. I’ve continued to collect and play deep house – keeping true to my roots, but only at intimate gatherings on my roof deck or private parties.
This collaboration with Mr. Jarvis is exciting because I’m able to bring the experience of the last seven years to bear on the concept of deep house music. Those of you who were around in the early days of 3 Degrees, when I was a deep house DJ, will surely hear something familiar in this new groove. And those who’ve come to know my style over the last seven years will also hear similarities. The style is sexy, groovy and smooth with a little bit of funk to keep it interesting. The tracks we’ve been selecting for this project are by producers who pay unusual attention to the production quality of every element.
I know I’ve written quite a bit just to introduce a Wednesday night gig, but we are excited for this new take on an old adventure -spinning deep house. So, you are now formally invited to join us, Lee Jarvis and myself, for the first of many deep house sets in Chicago. January 20th we will be at Martini Ranch from midnight until 4am. There is no cover. Come check out the sound!
