the record was born too early, when house music was still very underground, so consequently it passed into house music history with only a very few discerning djs and collectors owning original us copies. in keeping with chicagos musical history, one of the unsung heros of house has been drafted in to keep the new versions feet firmly on the ground. craig loftis aka grand high priest who along with joe promised land smooth on keys! give the track a more understated could upstate from london back to chicago with 3 killa mixes

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.

rmxs by eric sneo & space djz , abstract recs speed up their release-pipelines and the result is >getting time< by robert natus, a monster tune featuring fat synths, snapping basslines and everything a bangin record needs. an exclusive remix package has been also included, more precisely mixes by the london based space djz and palazzo hero eric sneo. while erics mix is a more techno oriented interpretation, jamie bissmire and ben long strike back with a jackin chicago influenced version. damn nice package. but wait, there is another track on top by mr. robert natus called >eye of the hurricane<, and be sure it sounds like the name suggests

the inaugural release on 7777 instantly recalls the sound of the legendary gherkin and target imprints from chicago. but rather than spawn direct imitation, a flare of detroit is gently added to the equation. an expansive remix is added on the b-side by the acid powerhouse production duo tnt (tadd mullinix and todd osborn), whose releases on their eponymous imprint have been highly sought after. a brutal working of the a-sides >drug related stories<, this epic has already been well received by the patrons of late night/early morning clubs in detroit.
