this is how it started focuses heavily on the early days of the chicago sound, especially in the formative years at ron hardy s music box.
following chicago s disco demolition night in 1979 the genre s popularity fell dramatically, hence fewer disco records being released.in this era chicago s djs such as hot mix 5, hardy, knuckles & jesse saunders played a variety of styles mixing in italo, electronic pop music, electro-funk and older disco joints often playing their own edits which focusing on the portions of the songs which always rocked the dancefloor. at the end of 1982, when dj frankie knuckles left the warehouse to open the power plant, ron hardy started to dj at the warehouse s new location until owner robert williams renamed it the music box. in 1984, a local label released a 12-inch single called -on and on- by locals jesse saunders & vince lawrence who had simple made the song in order to replace a record which had been stolen from saunders collection, the -on & on- bootleg disco megamix by mach. hence chicago house music was born and a modern day phenomenon followed.

a very warm welcome back to the marvellous creative use imprint. life in the balearic fast lane, may well be moving at a distinctly slower rate than fans of this cult label may like, but we like to think each carefully considered and crafted release is worth the wait ! kelvin andrews world famous stable for his own and likeminded producers (like mark e & mark seven to name but two) secret dj weapons is back to the fray with another 3 track salute to exceptional dancefloor moments a diverse trio of 45s provide the inspiration for their tenth excursion, as a lovingly amended funk beauty sits alongside indian infused mexican rock & jazz-fusion gems, which are all subjected to the highest quality creative use treatment!

talahachi introduce themselves with a four track compilation of melodic techno and deep house. john beltran opens a crystal music-box on pisces. glasgows stephen lopkin treks across rannoch moor. dancer, choreographer and producer sir lord comixx constructs breakbeat techno from his unique perspective and invitation au voyage visits the centre of the periodic table.

luckily there werent any of the anticipated refund claims for the first two chapters of >if this is house i want my money back<. so we finally dared to compile number three. the concept of the compilation is pretty simple: we ask friends, pv regulars, and other good looking producers, who are famous for dancing around the edges of the genre, for an exclusive track, all of which we put together on one neat compact disc. this time the bill reaches from hot shot producer mano le tough (who celebrated his permanent vacation debut on vol. 2 of this series), maeve label buddy the drifter, the swedish house mafia in form of house dandy axel boman and edit ramajam hnny, rising star lake people, long time vacationer bostro pesopeo (together with local munich dj san quentin) and sizzling newcomer boska to the jack of all trades willie burns, fellow nyc resident octo octa, berlin-based melody masters kim brown, the neukölln acid kingpins achterbahn d’ amour (aka iron curtis & edit piafra) as well as hotflush and we play house regular locked groove. each and everyone of the participants are more than convincing in what they are doing and although they have different perspectives on the long runner house music, the tracks come together in sweet harmony on this compilation
