Inspired by his family and the surroundings of Chicago's Latino community of Logan Square, Rafael Rodriguez aka Lego, committed himself to music at an early age. His career began when he was 19 years old with his first residency at Kaboom!. Kaboom! led to his 8- residency at Red Dog's "Boom Boom Room", one of the longest running nights in Chicago club history.
Drawing from a wide spectrum of musical tastes (Latin Jazz, Jazz, Hip Hop, R & B, Salsa, Meringue, House, Disco and Funk) and influenced by Chicago's DJ legends (Frankie Knuckles, Ralphi Rosario, Farley "Jackmaster" Funk, and Edward "Get Down" Crosby), Lego pursued his musical passion.
Lego has remixed some of the finest talent throughout the world. He has had numerous remixes chart on Billboards International Dance Music charts including Donna Blakely/Ralphi Rosario’s ‘Take Me Up’ and ‘Do You Like the Way It Feels” along with Rosario’s 1998 romp, ‘Wanna Give It Up’ featuring disco legend Linda Clifford. In ’99, Lego released the ‘Flava In Ya Ear’ EP on Afterhours Records which quickly became the anthem for many clubs in Ibiza for that year. This EP quickly hit #1 on the International Dance Music Charts and still remains as one of the most top selling releases in this labels history.
Lego continues to produce music at his home base in Chicago, Illinois. He is a frequent guest at many of Chicago’s top nightclubs with a current Sunday night residency at Hydrate Chicago. Lego has worked with some of the dance music community’s top producers and is considered by the worldwide dance community as a highly respected and sought after DJ and producer.
