Using the Green Velvet moniker to make his singularly twisted, funk-flecked house and techno hybrid, it was as Cajmere that he made his first musical mark back in the early 90’s after ditching school half way through a post-grad, chemical engineering degree at top-notch US college Berkeley. Up until then, music had been a hobby fueled by cobbling together tracks on a “sixty buck keyboard, a cheap four-track and a cheap drum machine” while still an undergraduate at the University of Illinois.

In 1992, after surviving on cheese sandwiches and maximizing credit limits, Cajmere finally made an imprint on the dance community with his infectious experiment, “Coffee Pot” (It’s Time for the Percolator) – Clubhouse Records. Then he moved on to more complex musical and lyrical arrangements with songs like Lidell Townsell’s “Get With U” (Mercury Records).

The Cajmere and Dajae collaboration resulted in a #2 Billboard Dance Chart and International dance hit - “Brighter Days”. It was at this point that Cajmere decided to start Cajual Records. Having his own label gave Cajmere the autonomy to attain his goal of developing a sound that was representative of Chicago. Later that year, he formed the sub-label Relief Records, mostly for instrumental tracks by himself and others. The label gave birth to his first Green Velvet production ‘Velvet Tracks’.

In 1993 Cajmere created Relief Records. The label became an outlet for he and other producers' more track-oriented work.

(Green Velvet)

The Relief label also gave birth to the experimental and eccentric, afro wig-wearing entity we know as Green Velvet - a Cajmere alter ego.

Green Velvet produced the first release on the Relief label, "Preacher Man." He followed up the debut release with "Flash" and "The Stalker", both of which brought about unexpected praise and worldwide recognition.

In 1997, Green Velvet's attempt to combine 80s electronic funk with Chicago's cult of a perfect track led to his creation, "Answering Machine" - with the more humorous but rather contagious hook - "I don't need this shit!" For 1999 Green Velvet has crafted "Constant Chaos", an electronic trip over a lyrical landscape or as Green Velvet muses in a recent Muzik interview, "I guess it's sorta like folk music for the rave scene."

Biografia de Green Velvet:
Curtis Jones nació en Chicago en 1968. Su padre pinchaba de vez en cuando blues y funk, por lo que Curtis pudo escuchar de primer oído a gente que luego le influiría tanto como Sly Stone y George Clinton. El propio Curtis comenzó a tocar el saxo cuando aún estaba en el colegio. Más tarde, en su época universitaria mientras estudiaba química comenzó a escuchar música el house que empezaba a ser popular en los años 80, así como a los pioneros de la música electrónica como Kraftwerk, Ministry y Liaisons Dangereuses.

Una vez metido en tareas de producción se adjudicó el seudónimo Cajmere (CAJ, como Curtis A. Jones), y publicó un EP titulado Underground Goodies en 1991, seguido por el single Brighter Days en su propio sello Cajual Records en 1992. Un año más tarde creó un nuevo label, llamado Relief donde da rienda suelta a la producción de magos del house como DJ Sneak, Gemini y Paul Jonson.

Más tarde, Green Velvet fue concebido como una alternativa más dura respecto de Cajmere (más orientada hacia el house clásico de Chicago). De todos modos, Curtis Jones es más conocido en el circuito techno por sus trabajos como Green Velvet ya que sus temas han sido pinchados por los mejores djs de techno del mundo convirtiéndose en verdaderos himnos de las pistas de baile: Preacher Man, Answering Machine, The Stalker o el más actual La La Land mil veces remezclado e incluido en su largo, Whatever y que siempre es su excusa favorita para cojer el micro y cantar encima cuando lo pincha. Muchos opinan que para disfrutar realmente de la experiencia de escuchar a Green Velvet hay que hacerlo en un live que es donde Curtis desprende una energía brutal e imparable.Su plataforma discográfica Relief Recods edita en verano de 2005 otro álbum como Green Velvet: Walk in love, que así es como se llama el disco, incluye los singles Bathroom, Temptation y War On the Saints. Un año después mezcla el doble mix para Ministry of Sound, Sessions - Cajmere vs. Green Velvet con material de Mark Grant, Cajmere, Green Velvet, Playgroup o Dj Gregory, entre otros.
