Strictly Dance Radio was founded by 25yr veteran DJ Jeannette in August of 2009. Her show aired on Blogtalk Radio Every Thursday between 8-11pm. It was started just for fun, she could air and play whatever she wanted. Not the same 20min rotation you hear on commercial radio. Her vision for her Own Station was that in all her years of being a DJ, she learned that there was alot of real good “TALENT” out there and they needed to be heard. Helping the people not so fortunate to be in the right place at the right time. Or the pocketbook…
Airing and Interviewing New and Old Talent, Her fan base grew to records numbers, for being a nobody, she was becoming a fan favorite. She also aired Legendary DJ mixes along with her Own Strictly Dance Resident DJ Team consisting of 10 plus DJ’s (all of whom were her personal friends). Today DJ Jeannette runs 24/7 programming with 50 plus DJ’s from around the globe DJ’s such as Tiesto, Klubjumpers, Beatbangerzz, Chris The Greek, Pedro Del Mar, Bimbo Jones, Lady Dragon and many many others still along with weekly Resident DJ mixes and Guest DJ Mixes…and all your favorite club hits in between… No 2 Mixes are alike…And They all are currently spinning in the hottest clubs around the world.
What we do is so different from the rest, we help to connect people with whom they need to be with, to get them to where they want to be. “At the end of the day we all put our pants on the same way”

He was first exposed to House music in 1985 by a grammar school classmate known as OZ and was instantly hooked. He would constantly study mixes from WBMX and WGCI with Bad Boy Bill, Julian “Jumpin” Perez and the Hot Mix 5.

DJ Crash – Chicago
Crash [Krash] – to collide with or into violently and inadvertently with noise.A D.J. is often remembered for his name but seldom defined by it. Almost anyone you know can pick up a laptop download Limewire and add the letters D.J. in front of their favorite nickname or catch phase, but for Chicago’s own D.J. Crash a name is much more. It’s a product, it’s a brand, and it should ultimately define you as well as your work. Besides the comedic connotation that goes along with his name, citing the hundreds of various accidents he, his car, and life have endured, the moniker “Crash” also provides a unique and straight forward description of his style of D.J’ing. He is equipped with a thorough knowledge of original house music, old school hip hop and an ear for new innovative rock/hip hop music. Crash’s sets combine the two worlds of old and new, crashing together a sound and vibe only he can create.

Mario MakeYouDance Chicago
Established in 1989..Since then I’ve been a Resident DJ on Chicago’s Legendary Chicago’s B96 Sunday Night Street Flava Radio Mixshow in the 90′s frequent Guest DJ Saturday Nights on Energy 88.7 FM Chicago, which was voted the #1 for Dance Music at the time.
I’ve held weekly residencies in Downtown Chicago Clubs (too many to mention) playing sets up to 6 hours. I currently hold monthy residencies at clubs and lounges throughout the Chicagoland Suburbs. Needless to say music is in my blood, I’ve been labeled as “One of Chicagolands most VERSATILE DJ’s”… with today’s music, technology, creativity it’s hard for me to label a genre. If I like the beat or sound of a song I’ll play it and try to incorporate it into my sets, resulting in broad range and variety of electronic music.
