DJs for PiG Berlin 2008

Jack Chang

resident DJ for Hustlaball, Naughty Party, Rapido, Fresh

"I am the darkest sound. I am the tribal spirit behind the speakers. I am the underground sound. I am Jack Chang."

Trained in classical music for over eleven years, Jack Chang first took to the decks at the Freedom Café, London. Following a successful year there, Jack's funky house beginning rewarded him with his first residency at Love Muscle, at The Fridge in London. Jack soon saw that the funky house sound was becoming stale and he began to search for a new, more challenging sound. In 2000 he took up residency headlining the main room of UP (Underground Party) at the Rhythm Factory and rocked London's East-End with the sound of underground NY house. A more rhythmic sound began to emerge, and following a successful two years, he then appeared at the notorious FIST club in London. Seamlessly blending sounds from across Europe, the US and Asia, a more intense, hypnotic, tribal sound inspired by DJs such as Chus & Ceballos, Deep Dish and DJ Vibe began to emerge, infused with his own heritage.

Word spread quickly, and since 2003 Jack has become renowned in the global dance world with his unique blend of Latin/Asian underground house. In 2003 his debut in the US at Palm Springs for the Hustlaball Pool Party was a thrilling success, and his European debut in Germany at Folsom Europe's first ever closing party, PiG Berlin, attracted over 1400 men. Later that year Berlin saw Jack's return for Hustlaball at the infamous KitKat Club. The European circuit quickly took up interest and soon followed his appearance at the renowned Project-X party in Berlin in 2004.

Jack's success is not due to a single sound - his rhythmic, hypnotic sounds have been adapted to a more vocal, uplifting sound for mainstream events such as the Loveball in Barcelona and Greenkomm in Cologne, but his real success has been keeping the crowds at the biggest fetish events in Europe thrilled with his dark tribal beats. His clockwork mixing technique has both delighted and thrilled dance addicts and the fetish crowd, and also drawn both admiration and envy from fellow DJs around the world.

The latest highlights of this year so far include headlining The Dome at Sydney Mardi Gras, Playgrounds in Amsterdam, with continued appearances at his residency in Rapido, also in Amsterdam. Jack has both the honour and pleasure of working with Folsom Europe once again to headline PiG Berlin - the biggest European men-only party!

In the early 90s he travelled quite often to USA and became a regular guest dj in several events in L.A, N.Y and Miami. His career reached a new level when in 1997 he moves to London where he fits himself right into the gay fetish club scene gettin a residency in some clubs where his peculiar progressive house and trance style didn´t pass unnoticied by the public of this city. After this important and productive period, in the 2000s he decides to go back to Madrid to start himself as a club promoter.
