The B-boys hail from the Bronx, New York. Their best known record is “Rock The House” which has been sampled on just about every early cut and paste jam. “2 3 break” and “Cuttin Herbie” were two equally good scratch instrumentals displaying the turntable finesse of Chuck Chillout.  “2 3 break” was one of the first records to cut up the well known “Rocket in the pocket” break by Cerrone.  All of these tracks were released on Vintertainment records in 1983. 1985 saw their return with “Stick Up Kid” and “Girls” and “Girls Part 2”. Chuck Chillout worked with Run DMC on the “King of Rock” LP primarily on the cut “Daryll & Joe”.

Chuck Chillout went on to host a NY rap show in 1984 on 98.7 KISS FM doing the friday and saturday nights mastermix dance parties.  In the mid 80’s he putt out a solo record on Vintertainment called “Hip Hop On Wax Part 1”. This release was part of a three part series.  Part 2 was by Kool DJ Red Alert and Part 3 was by DJ Born Supreme Allah (who also made “2,3 Break Pt 2” in 1985).  Chuck also put out an album in 1989 called “The Masters of Rhythm” with Kool Chip on Mercury Records which featured “Rhythm is the Master”, “No DJ Like Chuck” and “I’m Large”. he is also credited with mixing Public Enemy’s “Night of the Living Baseheads”.  He was also known as DJ Steel of Steel Productions.
