Hot Mix 5 Tickets

Hot Mix 5 is a cornerstone of Chicago house music. Formed in 1981 as WBMX’s resident DJs, the group helped shape the sound that defined an era and launched house music into dance floors around the world. The original lineup—Farley Jackmaster Funk, Mickey Oliver, Ralphi Rosario, Kenny Jammin’ Jason, and Scott Smokin Silz—along with later additions Julian Jumpin’ Perez and Mario Diaz, created mixes and parties that circulated widely via cassette tapes and radio. Their contributions extend beyond the studio, with the Hot Mix Dance Party helping to popularize a sound that continues to influence producers today.
