The House Moguls

Band,
Dance

Chicago based Gus Calderone and Bill Basil (Billy the Kid) are better known as The House Moguls, a duo that in recent years has created waves in the House and Electro community with popular bootlegs and originals. From their touches on Daft Punk’s “One More Time” (said by MSTRKRFT to be “the best Daft Punk remix of all time”) to Basement Jaxx’s “Rendez-Vu” and originals that have been featured everywhere from ABC’s “Ugly Betty” to Armani Exchange compilations. While the duo has been quite successful under The House Moguls moniker, both Gus and Bill also pursue individual projects of their own. Gus is co-owner of Funktion Recordings (with releases from Kid Crème’, Ian Carey, David Tort and many more) while Bill has been a Mixmaster on WBBM FM B96.3 for several years. His mixshow with B96.3 is continually one of the most listened to in North America and led to him being a nominee for both Emerging Artist of the Year 2006 and DJ of the Year 2004 & 2005 by Scion and Local Sound Chicago. Their first EP, “Get That Feelin” featured on ABC’s Ugly Betty, Armani Exchange and on XM, Sirius and Music Choice, but they’ve also released on System, Nervous, Dumb, Eden Gung Ho, Funktion Recordings and a host of other highly respected labels. Their songs have charted online (Beatport), in print (Nocturnal Magazine) and on radio (XM, Sirius, Z103.5 Canada, KissFM UK, Radio 1 UK, etc.). They’ve been contracted to remix Deadmau5, Pimprockers (Starkillers & Austin Leeds), and LMFAO.
