Chemikkal & Carl Guastello

In the life of DJ/Producer Chemikkal. A commitment to his dreams, passion for greatness and fire to succeed has landed him in a world he has built over the last 27 years. Growing up with music all
around him and with his military background. Chemikkal has developed a tenacious work ethic that carried him through many stages of his career. Chemikkal is a DJ & Producer based out of Kansas
City, Missouri. He has been in and around music his entire life. During an introduction to music class in middle school. He found himself behind a snare drum. As soon as he picked up the sticks he
never felt more alive. After many years went he found himself in a high school band performing with the drum-line as part of a bass drum group. He was marching up and down the football field at
halftime keeping the crowd and team excited. After performing with the drum-line he took on the challenge of jazz band. He was now setting behind a full set of drums performing all sorts of rhythms
and blues. After each performance or practice he would go home and learn new techniques and elements that he could bring back to the band. After high school was over, Chemikkal joined the United
State Army. He left for basic training and had to put music aside to serve his country. One day during the summer years later, while at a local nightclub the need for a DJ arose. Chemikkal had never
been behind decks before but he took on the challenge anyway. He bought a cheap controller and practiced day in and day out to prefect his craft to have the ability to play live in front of a crowd.
Chemikkal learned the artform of reading people right from the start. "To Me, Technicality aside. A DJ has to be able to tap into their sixth sense of reading their room. Having the ability to play to a
crowd that owns your music is one thing, but the real magic is walking into a room of people all different ages, ethnicities and social classes and making them dance to your set is where it happens!
"To me, its always been about the room first and I leaned that in the mobile DJ world."
Chemikkal has performed in front of large crowds for nightclubs and private events. Chemikkal started to make his way through the local midwest nightclub circuit and held down major residencies in
some of the area's best venues. Giants like Bodie's, Mule House & Vintage molded Chemikkal's style as a DJ. Having love for formulated formats of music and so much experience playing them live. He
felt the next step was to create his own sound and style. Since he knew his mixing techniques and song selection were so unique. He knew he had to create a unique sound that would capture the
audience at all levels.
In 2018, Chemikkal released four original tracks. He started the year focusing on making original content testing new sounds, styles and creating a brand for myself. Chemikkal finished out the year
grinding out 10 remixes. The magic of music was unlocked as his remixes and bootlegs have been played all over the world by electronic and open format dj's. During the year Chemikkal has created
many mashups, edits, and flips. The eidts are flawless and have deep rich energy that can be played in many rooms to keep the crowd dancing. He has placed his remix’s, edits, and mashups on many
different record pools around the country capturing the top downloads on each site.
While, Chemikkal has created many of these mashups, edits, remixes and original tracks. He is always making music with music either live during his performances or during his time in the studio
mixing and mastering his tracks. Chemikkal prides himself on being able to control the room by having a flawless mixing technique. He spends hours behind the decks and behind the computer
mastering his craft and creating the most entertaining sets. He constantly listens to music to know every aspect of the song and where the energy lyes within the song.
In 2019, Chemikkal has released a new EP called New Beginnings. This EP was started in late 2018 and was finished in late January 2019. Chemikkal has took his years of experience djing and producing
to create a wonderful mixture of music. On this album he has created many different genres of music. He has created tracks that any audience will enjoy. Chemikkal is always goal driven and always
