Biography of Justin Long
Justin Long, one of Chicago’s house music pioneers, began DJing at the young age of 15. His early musical influences ranged from Joy Division and Depeche Mode to the Sex Pistols. In 1988, Justin discovered house music on WBMX radio, which directed him into the world of house music where he has helped shape the Chicago House sound into what it is today.
During the past 14 years, Justin has accomplished more than most could imagine in the house music industry. In the early 90’s, Justin began DJing at underground events throughout the Midwest with the likes of Derrick Carter, Cajmere and Traxx. Soon thereafter, more gigs followed and Justin’s name became synonymous with Chicago House music. In 1999, Justin was the founding DJ on Chicago’s Q101 Sonic Boom Radio; one of the longest running mix shows in the United States. Sonic Boom airs every Saturday night with a listening audience well over 70,000 people.
While touring for the past nine years, Justin has made frequent visits throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico and Europe, including repeat visits to headline UK venues such as Back to Basics, Sub Club, Sankey’s Soap and Scuba. In addition, Justin has made countless guest appearances and held residencies in Chicago’s best nightclubs such as Red Dog, 112 Green Street, Karma, Slick’s Lounge and Zentra. Currently, Justin hosts a monthly residency at Cloud Nine in Cleveland as well as heading one of Chicago’s premier house events entitled .Dotbleep. .Dotbleep takes place once a month at Smartbar, with guests such as: Traxx, Huggy (UK), Dan X, Natural Rhythm, Paul Woolford and Lance DeSardi.
In the studio, Justin is working closely with Dan X under the moniker 'No Assembly Firm'. Together, Justin and Dan have completed over two dozen projects including original and remix work for highly acclaimed record labels such as Classic, Music For Freaks, Aroma, Cajual, Robsoul, Doubledown, Greens Keepers Music and many more. Justin and Dan perform together frequently, headlining venues across the globe. These sounds and performances have captured a cult following and can be heard in regular rotation worldwide on 'The Move' on XM radio.
Along with performing and producing, Justin works in conjunction with 20:20 Vision to run his own record label, .Dotbleep Recordings which features artists such as: Natural Rhythm, Lavish Habits and Miles Maeda. In it’s early stages, .Dotbleep has drawn quite a bit of attention and looks to follow it’s Chicago successors, Cajual and Classic.
Justin continues to push the boundaries of house music, while constantly refining himself as an artist.
