DJ Sean Alvarez
Music is Sean Alvarez's Sanctuary.... The foundation was built in the mid to late 80s hearing legends like Ron Hardy, Lil Louis, Farley Jackmaster Funk and DJ Rush. Sean began DJing approximately 20 years ago on two tape decks then graduating to turntables shortly thereafter. Since that time He has earned the respect of being one of Chicago's best DJ's. His love and respect for the music and the culture are the driving forces behind his ambition. He has played at several famous venues in the States and Internationally alongside some of the most recognized names in dance music.
Showing a strong commitment never to compromise his style and integrity he remains true to his roots by playing timeless sounds that range from Deep Soulful House Music, Disco, Soul, Nu-Jazz, Broken Beat, Hip Hop, and World Dance Music mainly from Africa, Brazil, and Latin America.
Sean believes that the DJ serves as a channel and has a sacred responsibility of providing people with good music. His goal as a DJ has always been to entertain as well as educate his listeners. When Sean plays he develops a bond with the crowd where they feed off of each other. He is often so overcome by the music and the vibe that the crowd can often feel his energy and enthusiasm coming through the speakers. Although he is very selective about the music he chooses to play, he prides himself on his good ear for music and knowledge of how to provide the crowd with music that is good for their soul. After listening to him play it is likely you will agree.
