Born and bred on the East Coast, Greg Drescher’s musical style derives from his early days in New York City’s nightclubs and from more recent years in Chicago.  The influence of both cities can be heard in Greg’s music as he uniquely blends progressive house, sultry vocals, circuit anthems and hard-hitting tribal beats in his sets.  The other blended ingredient in every Greg Drescher set is his obvious passion for the music.
A Harvard-educated attorney by day, Greg jumpstarted his career as a professional DJ by first spinning at the legendary Crobar Chicago.  Since then, his sound has been heard in Chicago’s most popular clubs, including Hydrate Chicago, Excalibur, Circuit Nightclub, Berlin, Felt and @mosphere.  Greg’s talents have been requested by the top DJs and promoters in the industry as he’s opened for Tracy Young, Tony Moran, Manny Lehman, David Knapp, Lydia Prim and Roland Belmares.  Recognizing a local rising star, the Hearts Foundation has selected Greg for several of their events, including the Ignition Party at Fireball 2004, Chicago Pride 2003, the VIP Closing Party at Fireball 2003 and Refuel 2002.

More recently, Greg has been extending his reach beyond Chicago with an event last summer at the historic Pines Pavilion on Fire Island and his international debut in Tel Aviv. While he currently maintains as monthly residency at Crobar and a weekly spot at Hydrate, Drescher has become involved with Tracy Young’s new record label, FEROSH RECORDS (www.ferosh.com)… and this is only the beginning.  Stay tuned for the buzz on this hot new talent and his ascent in the industry!
