About DJ Earl
A mainstay of Chicago's juke/footwork scene, DJ Earl is a member of the Teklife collective along with genre pioneers DJ Spinn, DJ Gant-Man, and the late DJ Rashad. Like those artists, his tracks combine jittery uptempo rhythms and heavy bass with manipulated soul, jazz, and hip-hop samples. He has numerous hard-edged tracks which celebrate drugs and sex, but he also has more reflective, ambient moments. He's produced abstract hip-hop with artists like Nick Hook, Wiki, and Aakeem Eshu. His lengthy discography includes numerous singles and EPs, as well as the official full-lengths Open Your Eyes (2016) and Bass + Funk & Soul (2020).
