Tribute to Paul Johnson
This week we celebrate another legend that we lost too soon, Paul Johnson (1971-2021):
"One of the most essential house musicians of all time.. Even in the face of enormous adversity, the Chicago icon lived life with the same irrepressible spirit you can hear all over his classics...Paul Johnson’s signature meld of disco loops, overdriven kicks and unfiltered sleaze was nothing short of alchemy. Even when chopping up the vocals of Leroy Burgess or Roy Ayers, Johnson’s records simmered with raucous charisma, a gift that made him stand out amongst greats of the ’90s house scene. He banged the box with the best of them." - DJ Mag
