If
you close your eyes, open your ears, open
your mind, and let your body flow you will
find yourself in a new plane previously unexplored.
Seamlessly blended tracks vibrate your spine
while soothing your soul. Julius builds you
up gradually through loops of energy bursts
and just when you reach your climax he drops
you back to a lounge state awaiting the next
climb to the peak. Many people call the music
house; "the Mad Thinker" makes it
home.
In these modern times of separation among house music, "the Mad Thinker" seems to take the contemporary underground tracks to a level that even satisfies the old school purist. At the same time, he lures the fanatic deeper into the vibe. After all, a DJ's job is to lead the listener into a different zone by allowing him to escape from anything rigid to the point that the listener goes home the next morning 100% cleansed of anxiety. "the Mad Thinker" will take this job on and complete it. Through his 10 years of blessing the turntables, "tMT" has played along side dj's such as, Frankie Knuckles, Joe Claussell, Ron Trent, Marques Wyatt, jojoflores, Miguel Migs, Roy Davis jr., Derrick Carter, Diz, Alexi Delano, Mark Grant, Derrick May, Gemini, DJ Rasoul, and Stacy Kid to name a few. For those who frequent the Internet, "tMT" can be heard on web sites such as deephousepage.com, Undagroundarchives.com, chicagogroove.com, 246.com, sunday-sessions.com, grooveparlor.com and www.gottahavehouse.com. In addition to providing the entertainment, Julius is also a co-founder and Partner of 3° Global. If you're not familiar, 3° Global is the organization known for creating Chicago's infamous 3° Ultra Lounge, the members-only, weekly event based upon the commonalities of mutual friends. As of recent, "the Mad Thinker" has been relentless in developing his newest creation, production team, 'aid to the souLLess'. 'aid to the souLLess', food for the soulful(silent), is made up of the trio DJ Emmaculate, whom "tMT" refers to as "kid genius", DJ FLX, fellow 3°Ultra resident dj, and "the Mad Thinker" himself. The theory behind the production team is that everyone possesses soul, some possess more than others, nevertheless; the music provided by 'aid to the soulless" will reach the soul, and once the soul is reached, music previously listened to just doesn't sound the same. As for people who possess much soul, or "the soulful", the music provided by 'aid to the souLLes' will take them wherever they would like it to! Overall, "the Mad Thinker" approaches every endeavor strictly from his heart. He patiently waits for the day that he is able to play records in all seven continents ensuring that house music with soul is a universal language.
