Gene Farris (Chicago House Legend) Pioneer of the Chicago House Sound: Hailing from the birthplace of house music, Gene Farris has been instrumental in shaping and pushing the genre forward. Gene is a house music pioneer and DJ/producer who has spent over two decades shaping and innovating the genre. Emerging from the birthplace of house music, Gene’s distinctive sound blends soulful vocals and funky grooves with driving, modern basslines—a testament to both his deep roots and forward-thinking style. His ability to seamlessly fuse classic Chicago house elements with contemporary production techniques has earned him a reputation as one of the scene’s most versatile and respected figures. Junior Sanchez (Groundbreaking House Music Producer) One of the world’s premier house DJs, Junior Sanchez has remained a highly respected figure in dance music for three decades. Beginning his career as a teenager in New York’s hottest clubs, Sanchez has performed on stages across the globe; released dozens of EPs, singles, and remixes; dropped two full-length albums; and produced projects for artists across a wide variety of genres. He is also an entrepreneur, label executive, and a passionate advocate for house music culture. But there’s so much more that #YouMayNotKnow… JT Donaldson (Prolific House Music Architect) JT Donaldson is a respected DJ, producer, and curator whose musical journey has bridged the house music hubs of Dallas, Austin, and Chicago. Originally hailing from Dallas, JT honed his craft in the local underground scene before spending significant time in Austin, where he immersed himself in the city’s eclectic house culture and built longstanding connections with fellow producers and DJs. Eventually, his passion for the deeper side of house led him to Chicago—a city revered as the genre’s birthplace—where he further refined his signature blend of soulful grooves and modern production techniques. Erin Millington (Austin’s Own House Music Veteran) Erin Millington writes love letters to the dance floor. Eloquent, soulful and simply unforgettable, her nuanced mixes have earned her a seat as house royalty in music capital Austin, Texas. Her authenticity is a warm, reassuring constant in the rapidly changing city, and it’s as Midwest as that of pinnacle influences Derrick Carter, DJ Heather, Colette, Diz, and Roy Davis, Jr. — all of whom she’s opened for as her dreams continue to take form. But her calling didn’t come in Chicago, or even in Texas. It came in her hometown of Minneapolis, in neon purple, at First Avenue — nightclub of legendary Prince. With a lineup like this—Gene Farris, Junior Sanchez, JT Donaldson, and Erin Millington—you’re in for a genuine celebration of the house music culture that Austin holds dear. Get ready to dance all night to the rhythms that made house music legendary and still set the standard for underground dance floors worldwide. It's going to be an unforgettable night!
