LAWN CHAIR GENERALS PETER CHRISTIANSON [Seattle, LCG Music]
“One of the finest house acts ever to come out of the Pacific Northwest touch down in Vancouver for one night only, with dj Peter C bringing that chunky, funky sound that has made them favourites of deejays around the world including Mark Farina, DJ Heather, DJ Sneak & Derrick Carter to name only a few. Likewise their outstanding catalogue of productions & remixes has found them on the compilations from the top house labels including Defected, OM Records, Ministry Of Sound, Nordic Trax & many others. Vancouver prepare to get sweaty!”
Seattle duo Peter Christianson and Carlos Mendoza, a.k.a. LawnChair Generals
have been shaping the future of House music out of their self-made studios since 2001.
Based on the brief amount of time the duo has spent manning the controls, the success
they have attained is staggering. As goes the old adage, it is quality, not quantity that
breeds such success. Along with their talent, both behind the decks and in the studio, and
a little luck thrown in for good measure, LCG have simultaneously blazed their way into
the crates, mix compilations, and ranks of the world's top House DJs
Soon after the initial jaunt into the studio, their first sonic experiments were
picked up by Viva Recordings and pressed into 'The Great Escape.' Their debut EP,
called a "hot house hit" by Terry Farley in Muzik magazine (issue 77 Oct. 2001), was
released to widespread praise by the likes of Mark Farina, DJ Heather, DJ Sneak, Derrick
Carter, Doc Martin, Rob Mello, Yousef, and many more. Then came the infectious 'U
Dirty' EP on Westbound Records, containing the underground hit 'One Thing.' This
claimed there was more where 'The Great Escape' came from and that LCG were more
than a passing fluke. 'The Truth' on Dizzy's Lowdown Recordings is the label's most
successful release to date and is firmly planted in the crates of all of the top House jocks.
Tracks from this EP have been licensed for Derrick Carter and Mark Farina's, "Live at
Om" CD as well as for DJ Heather's DJ Magazine front cover CD. Shortly thereafter,
LCG's next single 'Tell You Something' hit the street running on July 15, 2004. This
second release on Westbound out-did the first, having peaked so much interest when it
spiked several sets at The 2004 Winter Music Conference. 'Tell You Something - Else',
LCG's own remix of the E.P.’s title track, was chosen by JT Donaldson and Lance
DeSardi for their installment of Om's "San Francisco Sessions" mixed compilation series.
LCG kicked off a promising 2005 with their hugely anticipated 5th release, “You
Got To / Stop Frontin’” on the Belgian imprint Aroma, licensed to DJ Sneaks upcoming
OM Records Mix CD before its release.
The talent of this duo is undeniable, both as producers, remixers and DJs. They
have been making dance floor gold of other artists' work for almost as long as they have
been creating their own. After dropping torrential re-workings of tracks like DJ Hal's
'Don't Give It Up', Swirl People and DJ Heather's 'We Used To Party' and Martin
Venetjoki’s “Really Don’t Stop”, LCG remixes are now on back-order.
From as close to home as Flammable @ Rebar in Seattle to as far away as the
clubs of Australia and Europe, LCGs' rambunctious two-jock DJ sets have become a
required experience for House-heads around the world. The LCG blend is a unique fusion
of West coast and classic Chicago-style House with touches of electro, soul, and
freestyle-era pop flavor. Their performances further cement the strong impression left
by the music they create. And wherever the production path may take LCG, they’re
likely to embrace respect without forgetting their DJ roots. As Carlos puts it, "Peter and I
are DJs first. We make music we want to play."
