Rees Urban hails from Chicago, where he's a 25 year veteran in the DJ booth. Since his humble beginnings, he’s maintained his idealistic values as a DJ from his 1st shows playing VFW halls around Chicagoland in the mid 90s to clubs & raves across the US and shortly thereafter at clubs and festivals overseas. He's since headlined events across 5 continents including playing on a float at Berlin's Love Parade in the year 2000 (to an audience of approximately 1.3 million people).

As a producer he's accumulated over 100 releases on several cult labels like Dance Mania, Tresor, Underground Construction, Pro-Jex, IHR & Primate (under the names Rees Urban, DJ Urban and his duo Pair of Jacks with longtime friend, Angel Alanis). Furthermore his productions have been in regular rotation by a vast variety of industry icons including Carl Cox, Derrick Carter, DJ Funk, Dave Clarke, Bad Boy Bill, DJ Rush and John Digweed, demonstrating his versatility and respect by dance music’s elite.
