DJ Pap aka Black Mamba has been on the Chicago dance scene since the early Eighties (80’s), with the influence of his older brother introducing him to a variety of the 70's dance music. After trading his electric guitar for a pair of Realistic turntables, Pap taught himself how to create a sounding combination of incomparable Disco and 80's underground dance music. With influences such as Legendary Djs: Ron Hardy (Music Box), Frankie knuckles (C.O.D.'s and Power Plant) and Producer Larry Heard. While spreading this tribal and deep groove rhythm he established resident spots around the Chicago area, also broadcasting this signature sound coast to coast.
Deciding to take his art to higher level this veteran Dj decided to write and produce his own music. These skills were first introduced on Nitelife Collective "So Happy" with co-producer Will Paris. Also creating various sounds for Lamour Records "Voices of Inturi", Distant Music "Talk to Me", Seasons Recordings "Come Back Baby" and other labels such as Trax Records, City Deep and with his newest Raisaini.
Besides being a Dj/producer, Dj Pap ventured and started Muzic Vision Records in 2003 with Dj Fritz (SoulChild). With releases such as "Brighter Day" and "It’s the Rhythm”. Now with two years of planning the birth of Mtima Muziki Recordings with his long-time friend and Chicago House Radio’s very own Denise aka Ms. Nycy. Introducing their first releases "Back in the Day" feat. Curtis Harmon (Cei Bei) and "Music Saved my Life" feat.Consuela Ivy (Swaylo). Meanwhile Dj Pap is maintaining the vital part of personal growth with a balance of life and wisdom, while staying true to the roots of pure Chicago dance music.
