Change has been a constant theme throughout the successful career of Green Velvet, but as he has crossed genres, explored themes from the comedic to the serious and changed monikers, the common thread running through the music he has made for nearly two decades is its roots in and dedication to the Chicago House sound. He is influenced by the sounds he had been exposed to as a science-fiction-loving, video-game-playing kid whose father was a part-time Chicago DJ. The Chicago born DJ will be in Dublin on Friday 16th April at Tripod. This will be a great opportunity to hear some of Alan Curtis Jones (that's his real name by the way) electronic sounds and 'Coffeepot (It's Time for the Percolator)' and 'Everybody Wants'.
