DJ Spen began his long and successful career in the ’80s working as a radio DJ, while making hip-hop beats with the trio The Numarx: a group that would go on to record the classic “Girl You Know It’s True”, later covered and made famous by Milli Vanilli. The decade that followed saw Spencer move away from hip-hop and towards the classic Chicago house sound that would become his signature, after joining forces with venerated production collective The Basement Boys. Producing under the alias Jasper Street Co., Spencer released his first 12″ through Basement Boys Records in 1995, the high-energy gospel house track “A Feeling”. This was the first in a hugely successful series of releases for the label that brought Spen both critical and commercial success over the next decade, leading to worldwide recognition as a pioneer of house music.
