About Tyree Cooper

Tyree Cooper is part of that first Global House music revolution that started in Chicago. His contribution to House Music and Acid House cannot be matched and that led him help co-create a genre called Hip House alongside The DJ Fast Eddie. This widened the appeal of House music worldwide. Two years after college Tyree was already one of the most popular and highly sought-after DJs in Chicago. He was then approached by Vince Lawrence of the House band Jesse’s Gang (founded by Jesse Saunders) who persuaded Tyree to put together a demo tape of his music to start a career as a recording artist. From now on, it was only a question of time before signing the first record deal with the Chicago based underground label D.J. International Records. The first 12″ single – I Fear The Night (with female vocalist Chic) promptly became an underground classic in Chicago. Other hits followed, Video Crash and Acid Crash (1987) – Acid Over (1988) – Turn Up The Bass (1988/89) – Let’s Get Hyped (feat. Kool Rock Steady, 1989) – Let the Music Take Control (1989) and Hardcore Hip House (1989). In 2013, Tyree Cooper founded his own label: Chicago Vinyl Records with distribution from Juno Records UK. He has continued to release tracks and classic hits from DJ International and Dance Mania record labels. Tyree is regarded as one of the most influential international artists of the last three decades. Find out more about Tyree via https://linktr.ee/tyreecoopermusic
