Summing up Steve "Silk" Hurley's career in a paragraph? Good luck! From blowing out DJ battles with turntable tricks on the Southside of Chicago to taking the helm of the dominant major label remix outfit of the 1990s ID Productions, Steve "Silk" Hurley has done it all. With Keith Nunnally in JM Silk, he topped the dance charts in the early 1980s - just in time to catch the last wave of disco and the new tidal wave of House Music. "Jack Your Body"? Did that, and it became the first House track to hit #1 in the UK. He remixed Madonna, Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Paula Abdul, CeCe Peniston, Mary J. Blige - basically, everyone that was ever in the game and needed a fix of that "Silk Hurley sound".

 

In this video, Steve touches on the early days at the Loft, his four Grammy nominations and an unparalleled career.
