chris “bam bam” westbrook is one of the unsung heroes of chicago house. his westbrook label was responsible for releasing a slew of quality records from artists like armando & mike dunn as well as his own productions. one record that mysteriously never officially came out on the label was “hot spot” from 1987, never making it past white label stage. here, for the very first time, “hot spot” finally gets a full release boasting all 4 alternate mixes of the track by the man himself. suggestive lyrics, chattering drum machine rhythms and uplifting pianos in the classic raw chicago style are what makes “hot spot” a special re-issue. harking back to a headier time, the record still slams hard today and shows contemporary producers how house music should really be done. a long lost, un-released nugget from the old school, re-mastered from the original dat and officially released for the first time with original westbrook label artwork in conjunction with bam bam / westbrook records, chicago usa.

looking back it has been a killer year for dj haus and his pair of labels, unknown to the unknown and hot haus, and it seems like he wont be easing the gears down from unfcknrelenting now december has arrived. the latest hot haus release (the sixth issued since september!) sees a welcome return for whippersnapper producer palace whose vision 12 inch is the third record issued on the uttu offshoot in a year! if you liked previous palace records, you love the three tracks here which are all raw and effective dj tools sprinkled with immediacy, individuality and nagging basslines - *solstice* in particular is a real burner of a track. dont sleep!
