-introducing basic vision, a new imprint releasing a vinyl series of rare classics from the legendary back to basics club. selected and compiled by the man who played the first ever record at the club, original resident dj ralph lawson, on this release joined by long term resident tristan da cunha on selection duties. all the tracks are cut to vinyl from the original master recordings and given enough time on high quality vinyl to ensure clean, loud pressings with original artwork by the godfather of punk design - jamie reid. the artwork spans across 4 records, which collected together will make the compete picture. basic vision 003 heavily features the birthplace of house, chicago, with a selection of rare cuts that always move the dance-floor. the highly sought after og freak mix of cassio ware - i wanna see you dance rocks the spot on the a side. this is the original black house version and not the remixes or re-edits that can be found. mark grant and cajmere only made one record together as the chicago connection and it was a true bomb. mint copies go for l75 but cajmere s remix is included here and cut loud from the original master recording.

cassio ware digging back into the past for this new cut on on dope wax. as usual, kenny dope is the man in the mix, with the classic vocal from chip-es >like this< pitted against the bassline from esgs classic, >moody<, and some quality synth lines on an old school gem of a track for the house crowds to drool over. on the flip, that superb bassline is left to be star attraction along side those great synths on a bumping house instrumental.
