Resumé: DJ Chez (aka Cesare Napoli) is an up-and-coming electronic musician based in the Toronto underground scene. With releases on labels like Guareber, Stimulus and EPride, Chez's music is played regularly by top international DJs like Ivan Gomez, Paulo, Alain Jackinsky, Isaac Escalante, Hector Fonseca and more. Chez's music career began at an early age when he studied piano and first developed an ear for music. Later, he discovered electronic music at local raves and instantly connected with the innovative after-hours rhythms. Since then, he has worked tirelessly to develop his own sound, combining tribal shuffles with sexy vocals, and is now well-known for his expert mashups and bootlegs. DJ Chez now plays high-profile venues such as Cielo (New York City), fly (Toronto) and Enter (Puerto Vallarta). Keep an eye out for more DJ Chez releases and DJ dates in 2013!

1. Nick Bertossi – “Mind Yo Business” (DJ Chez Mix)
My first release is a remix of Nick Bertossi’s “Mind Yo Biz,” released on Guareber Recordings, based in Spain. This baby is dancefloor effective! That first drop gets the “Hoots” every time.

2. Oscar G and Pablo Ceballos - “Hypnotized ft Stryke,” Pablo Ceballos Remix (Club Session)
"You make me want it baby/you make me need it baby. . . " Lovin’ this remix from Pablo right now. Nothing like an NY underground shuffle over a good vocal.
