new artists on bombay, chicagos j & j soultempo come with a strong gospel influenced late night slammer for the dance floor. featuring the vocals of the renowned terry moore combined with the soulful chicago acid house production of j & j soultempo, this release has an real early nineties murky deep house sound with modern production. jason ferguson jaycee and jere mcalllister are emerging from a strong community of the new generation of producers and musicians based in chicago that will be turning heads in the house scene. some kinda good agrees with the new york vibey heads as well as the chicago and detroit kids the tune defines house as going back to just one category and one community.

dj q is back after a four year break, and he delivers here perhaps some of his finest productions to date. dj q aka paul flynn, turned out some timeless music in the 90s for labels like filter, dance mania and glasgow underground, and was championed by artists such as carl craig and derrick carter. superclique is a refreshingly energetic deep house club track, with swinging beats and lush atmospherics, plus a great little vocal hook. blue chicago combines chi town rhythms and detroit musicality, with a heavy nod to the classic sounds of derrick may and carl craig, with enough wobbly minimalism to keep the, er, minimal massive happy.

1984 chicago punk classic back on wax! limited edition hand #d 140g color wax + 2 sided 12x18 full color poster

a funky peak hour pair of goodies. doo kicks off the ep with its rubbery bassline, keys, jerky rhythm and sustained strings that provide the male chant, doo doo doo a comfortable bed to bounce on. the meat of the track contains a lengthy piano solo by antonio di mauro driving the point home. full of drops and fills that build the energy then releases it ferociously. anthem is exactly what the title suggests. it is another 2am jump off (musically that is!) jam. the deep bass & dense kick supports the 80s styled chicago jackin snares, the persistent hi hat and intermittent piano strikes meshing well with the watery bleep sounding keys and string stabs. the melody of the bass gets redirected as the twinkling keys create a sense of tension for the samba ish breakdown. nimble fingered, antonio di mauro is at work again, producing a sound reminiscent of patrick adams styled keyboards from his legendary phreek lp. ends cold. supported by: dj spen, deli g, roger sanchez, joey negro, dj pope, kenny carpenter, franck roger, dj yass, master kev, mark stone (udm show), groove assassin, sven love, davidson ospina, dj dealer, timmy vegas, dan (liquid people), deep josh, danny marquez.

three new tracks by mix mup on mikrodisko. three musical statements, instead of drawing from a wide range of samples from old vinyl, as he did on his last release >dj of higher quality<, mix mup this time mostly relies on his own voice and an all-in-one sequencer. you can hear his love for raw chicago-acid-house b-sides, his affinity for italodisco and sonic experimentation. this is not about a clean sound and a clear arrangement, the tracks were produced in a moment for the moment. all tracks were produced in a single session, without quantising, without a screen, without a mouse. always with some scepticism and his tongue in his cheek

big with sebo k, laurent garnier, trickski, joris voorn, deetron, kiki, davide squillace, luca bacchetti and many many more.. incl. remixes by russ gabriel (ferox rec.) and agnes ( sthlmaudio). huge dj reactions! new sidelabel of meerestief. moonpool pays tribute to the house sound of the second half of this decade, but still leaves enough space for interpretation and endeavours to close the huge gap between minimalistic techno approach and club electronica designs.

killer modern house from depths of deep space. adam marshalls original mix takes swinging chicago drums and paints them a dark black, while chord stabs morph and evolve in a tough, organic style on this 11-minute journey. mike shannons impressive re-working tightens everything up and funks the hell out of the groove with sizzling dry hats, sub-bass ruminations, and one serious breakdown. one of his best remixes yet by far. both are serious club killers

chicago house classic !! mixed by bam bam.. original release 1987

the chart buster martin solveig was glad when his roman friend and colleague lorenzo rumi called upon him to return to the roots of house music, starting from the early, glorious chicago scenario and its immediate and infectious groove. so far away came to life, as an impulse with only 2 days of hectic studio session and a few liters of coffee. the guys worked on a stricltly old school basis, then added a full vocal and new elements to bring the fine charme of todays house, turning so far away in a contemporary composition rich of surprises and thrilling breaks. the performance of australian soul singer rachel claudio gives a touch of attitude with passionates and unforgettable vocals. definitely another epic stone in the b2f wall!

was diesen produzenten so besonders macht ist dieser deepe, deepe disco house, geküsst von sphärischen, warmen und psychedelischen einflüssen die er viel mehr in 70er jahre space rock als in chicago house oder detroit techno zu finden scheint wie es bei so vielen anderen ist. und genau das macht er, auf eben seine erstaunliche weise, auch auf dieser platte. john daly lebt in galway / irland und gründete 2005 sein eigenes label >feel music<

excellent funkin chicago & detroit infected tech tracks

back to back killer selection and re works from one of frances hypest dj of the moment. smart re edits of these two hard to find slices of funk wax. original pressings reach stupid prices on ebay like sites... smiling is a belgium disco funk that very few know about. original version going from time to time very cheesy, it really needed a re edit to reach a much deserved club exposure. jammaster is a pretty sought after chicago funk classic, but strangely enough it got a very particular new jersey feel to it, even recalling some early blaze tracks... played and playlisted with the likes of dj cam, inflagranti, orest, pilooski...

brand new mixes by atfc, chicago legend johnny fiasco and those usual suspects
