│ ││
│ For an international audience reawakening to the influence ││
│ of Chicago house during the 1990s, Curtis A. Jones acted as ││
│ quite a renaissance leader. Besides donning his ││
│ straightahead house guise Cajmere and a flamboyant, ││
│ neon-haired acid-house alter-ego named Green Velvet for ││
│ several of the most memorable underground house tracks of ││
│ the decade (including "Preacher Man," "Answering Machine" ││
│ "Brighter Days" and "Flash"), Jones helmed the two most ││
│ respected labels in the new school of Chicago house, Cajual ││
│ and Relief. Though artist-owned labels had become the norm ││
│ in Detroit, Chicago occurrences were frustratingly rare, ││
│ despite the fact that the two major house imprints of the ││
│ 1980s, Trax and DJ International, had continually bilked ││
│ their artists out of money. Cajmere went a long way towards ││
│ rectifying that situation, releasing records by a diverse ││
│ cast of producers old and new: DJ Sneak, Glenn Underground, ││
│ Paul Johnson, Gemini, Tim Harper and Boo Williams, among ││
│ others. ││
│ ││
│ The Chicago native began clubbing and buying records while ││
│ studying at the University of Illinois. He later graduated ││
│ with a degree in chemical engineering (and even attended ││
│ several years of grad school at UC-Berkeley), but then ││
│ returned to his hometown in 1991 with a drive to begin ││
│ recording and DJing around the area. His first track "Coffee ││
│ Pot (It's Time for the Percolator)" was released in 1992 as ││
│ Cajmere on Clubhouse Records. That same year, Cajmere worked ││
│ on production for "Get With U" by Lidell Townsell, then ││
│ hooked up with another Chicago vocalist, Dajae. After the ││
│ pair recorded a breakout single named "Brighter Days," ││
│ Cajmere decided to form his own Cajual Records to release ││
│ it. "Brighter Days" ascended to the number two position on ││
│ the dance charts and became an international smash; it was ││
│ the perfect remedy to Chicago's quickly deteriorating ││
│ fortunes, a track which looked back to the '80s boom years ││
│ but updated the sound with heavier beats, low-end synth and ││
│ up-to-date programming. ││
│ ││
│ Subsequent Dajae/Cajual collaborations like "U Got Me Up" ││
│ and "Day by Day" followed, and Cajmere eventually set up his ││
│ Relief label in 1994. After deciding that the house scene ││
│ needed a bit more showmanship, he created the alias Green ││
│ Velvet for live gigs and DJ events. A kind of digital-age ││
│ Bootsy Collins with impeccable fashion sense, Green Velvet ││
│ hit the club charts with a trio of anthems from 1995 to ││
│ 1997: "Flash," "The Stalker" and "Answering Machine." While ││
│ no full-length appeared from either Cajmere or Green Velvet ││
│ during those years, Cajual/Relief compilations like The Many ││
│ Shades of Cajual, A Taste of Cajual and Relief: The Future ││
│ Sound of Chicago collected all of his best productions. ││
