Even if you know nothing about house music, I guaran-damn-tee youre familiar with the song It's Time for the Percolator. That tune has been the staple of non-house DJs house music sets for around 20 years now. Its one of those songs that house-heads vilify for its popularity and played out-ness, yet still jack their bodies to it when its played at a party. The man responsible for that anthem, DJ/producer (and former chemical engineering major) Green Velvet (aka Cajmere), will be spinning at Dharma Lounge on July 30 this is what he had to say for himself:
Creative Loafing: What makes a chemical engineering student decide to quit school and do music?
Green Velvet: Well, my love and passion for music is mainly what won me over. I did the chemical engineering because I was good in math and wanted to make some money. But at the end of the day, I talked to the Lord, and I said that I just want to do what I really love to do thank God it worked!
