Johnny Fiasco: Legends are made of dreams, so they say…In Johnny Fiasco’s case, he is a legend whose ever-evolving house music insight promises to be enduring-and for many, that’s a dream come true. The Chicago-born native was fortunate to have the Windy City as a backdrop at a fantastically seminal time for house music in the late 80’s. Since then the pioneering Fiasco continues to DJ, produce, and remix his one true love-house. “My category is house music. If someone asks me what I play: It's techy, it’s hard, it’s disco, it's vocally, and it's all of the above, really. The spectrum is pretty wide and that’s why I am so in love with House music”.
Fiasco (born Juan Lopez) established his career as a DJ in Chicago, playing at Smart Bar alongside future all-stars like Mark Farina, Derrick Carter. With musical roots in rock, he quickly gravitated to arranging his own music. In 1995, Fiasco began recording his productions with the legendary Chicago-based imprint Cajual Records where he released such hits as “Conduction” and the Moody Grooves EPs. The reputation of Cajual, and his work with the label, launched Fiasco into a catalog of singles and recordings for other labels.
Part of the secret to Fiasco’s prolific success is found in the art of collaboration. Fiasco has always managed to forge powerful creative alliances with other innovative recording artists and start-up labels, often lending his trademark style of “feel-good” house dimension and texture to novel works.
Welcome to the return of Lotus Soundbar Resident DJ, Johnny Fiasco.
