after big success of the first classic series by k alexi shelby, technorama is back with another great package. we started the classic series featuring tracks that we love, bought, played out and which we have the feeling more people should know about them. for this second, it is a great honor for us to welcome such a living legend, a pioneer from the detroit house scene terrence parker and the chicago veteran ellery cowles. this project includes two secrets cuts and timeless moments of detroit house & chicago techno.
on a side: *welcome to southfield*, a massive and very demand house instrumental track from terrence parker. released in 1997 on studio k7! records and issue from his *detroit after dark* lp.
on b side: *madball*, previously released in 1998 on dafunk! records, our favorite secret weapons, a real masterpiece of chicago jackin techno by ellery cowles (black nation, djax up beats, synewave).
