more deep chicago house magic from the label that started it all. veterans bernard badie and vocalist extraordinaire dajae teaming up on this three track gem, a bumping deep and moody floor filler with a typically catchy cajual vocal. train is the main cut on this one, featuring a tight tracky beat, some up and down bass and a nice array of warm keys, definitely in line with vintage mark grant/cajmere/glenn underground vibe. now is more of a stomping dub, with a hypnotic vocal cut up over a tough building funk house groove. another winner from the home of the windy city house sound.

for a few months already, sub static boss falko brocksieper gradually intensifies his work on the own label again. with driving minimal-beats and melodic instinctive feeling the track >slap< from the >slap/happy<-split-ep with mia evolved into a gladly played hit, and also the following >esque ep< was not just a dayfly in the worlds dj-bags. in this phase the new 2-tracker >blackbox< is now brocksiepers ultimate confession to the dancefloor - fully functional without lacking his organic, trippy branding. the track >blackbox< presents itself as a dark, impulsive techno mover, ripped open again and again by intuitively placed accents, only to remind itself of its own irresistible drive and to cultivate it over the full length. meanwhile the b-side >off the rack< is toying with the idea of chicago house groove, driven by a rebelliously grumbling bootybassline and bleepy excursions into the world of weird soundscapes. on both tracks falko brocksieper celebrates the sign stimuli of techno, delightfully modest and coupled with his signature bubbly, sculptural sound.

die stücke >koala< und >breaking the hush< sind gespenstische minimal groove stücke, mit miniatur-sounds die auf den basslines verrückt tanzen, ohne das es hektisch wird. von natur aus sind die stücke super entspannt und warten auf den richtigen moment für dynamikveränderungen, die sie dann eiskalt umsetzen. die beiden tracks haben trotz ihrer entspanntheit einen starken chicago jack einfluss mit europäischem einschlag. bülents groove ist der schlüssel zum erfolg seiner stücke, die je länger sie laufen den clubber immer mehr in den bann ziehen. beide stücke machen dies ohne jegliche anstrengung sind dabei immer cool. bülent kontrolliert souverän das tempo der stücke und hat die dynamik voll im griff

dietrich schoenemann aka marduk with a classical techno four tracker with the little chicago jackin touch

"montreals prolific producer miguel graça teams up with roy davis jr. and mile ends very own patrick dream, for the realdeal; an old school dirty booty shaker. featuring a hypnotic heavy vocoded call out to the dance floor by roy davis jr.,along with miguel and pat snappy beats and a jacking trumpet line that takes the track over the edge. this package includes mixes that veer toward the tracky chicago side of things, the booty detroit side and a miguel graça remix that takes an eclectic electronic approach"

l delay is all about the drama—but at the same time, its skipping hi-hats and ringing bells suggest a carefree spirit and a supreme lightness of touch. talk about a duality: a cloak of reverb sucks the track perennially towards the dark side, but from the gleeful syncopations to the cheekily sampled live instruments, everything else opens up to the light like a morning yoga position. there s no funny business here, just tight rhythms and emphatic phrases that command bodies to move. its a monster of a track, but it must be of the loch ness variety, because youll never see it coming. on the flip, >frost< —haunted by the same high, lonesome string note as >l delay<— might be even more energetic, if that s possible. the high end has been smoothed down, and some of the roughhewn chicago edge of its companion tune sanded smooth, but its crazily syncopated standup bass line and distant, answering keyboards is all muscle, tensed and ready to explode. spacious drum tracks clear the floor for flashes of tambourine and handclaps so dry you can taste the salt on em. again, no nonsense is the name of the game: just raw, unadulterated funk with an ear for playful rhythms and limber moves

tjr continues to fold his own unique style of house, acid and techno. fresh, funky and exciting best describe his newest productions. archipels pheeklends his hands+ears on the remix. puckmouth is the main cut found. chicago influenced rhythms blend with analog bass as jack beats flow. synth effects float with the snare attack. tweaked. slowly pushes hands into the air. funky ho medina sounds like classic dance mania on modern pills. snappy percussion builds with quick edits. detuning madness arrives via keyboard runs.pheek (archipel/leftroom) reworks puckmouth with an energy boost. a slowly growing dimension of sound that is constantly trying to climb higher. this remix is a deadly, twisting your brain and eardrums

obscure hard-to-find raw chicago five track ep from 1992. early paul johnson co-produced tracks with an amazing drive. pure house music and a rare find on this label which only released 4 records (owned by paul johnson). for the real house freaks a must for sure... (original pressing!)

only unreleased new tracks from dj deeon and slugo....though he s revered among chicago djs and around the world as the original master of ghetto dance music, deeon started small, on chicagos south side. he sold his dj mixtapes in the parking lot where he lived, and played house parties in the projects. these crowded living room parties started the feeling and inspiration for the sound deeon produced, music he simply refers to as, >for the strippers, for the street<. while tracks like >accelerate< on dance mania were doing well overseas, he was getting little support or play from local chicago clubs. deeon calls ghetto house the >stepchild of chicago house<. eventually the incredible response from his music forced the clubs to concede and play his records. these >techno with a ghetto edge< tracks have found way to the decks in clubs around the world. deeon found his home on chicagos own dance mania label, where he released hits like >let me bang<, >who you wit<, >da dick suck< and >the freaks<. deeon is currently signed to databass records, which is rereleasing most of his back catalog with new remixes!
