L.A. has more in store tonight! Scheduled for tonight is one rare appearance by Chicago House music legend Green Velvet (a.k.a. Cajmere). So excited!
Remember ‘Percolator’ or sometimes called ‘Coffeepot (It’s Time For The Percolator)’. It’s one his earliest singles. It’s hard to believe this song is 15 years old!

MP3: Cajmere – Percolator (1992)
This was even before the flamboyant feather-hawked Green Velvet persona was born on to the House scene in 1994. This man can do no wrong!
Here are some more tracks from over the years. Some are chart-toppers, some are House club staples, others are just lesser-known personal favorites:

Check Green Velvet on MySpace to stream tracks, to view his tour schedule (Chicago and many dates in Europe) or just to say what up omg ur the best. You can buy Green Velvet and Cajmere releases from his official site as well as Amazon. If you’re looking for a good one to get, I highly recommend the Ministry of Sound released ‘MOS Sessions Presents: Cajmere Vs. Green Velvet‘ that dropped last year ’cause it has the best of all personalities. Last stop, check Cajmere and Green Velvet on Discogs for a more complete discography.
Postscript: Considering that the Japanther show was at capacity before 11 with a huge line outside, you might also want to know that they’re playing again with mm/dd/yyyy at The Smell tonight. Options are good.
