Feel my Bicep

Amazing Chicago house records by Ragtyme produced by Marshall Jefferson… Ragtyme was actually Ten City before they became Ten City with the great vocals of Byron e. This is the other allstar dream team of house music in 1987 (Beside Larry Heard, Robert Owens and the rest of Fingers Inc). You couldn’t find a better production team then this. Marshall Jefferson, Byron Stingley & Ron Hardy doing the main mix! Comes with the Ron Hardy club mix and the Powerhouse version. Very expressive powerfull house music with intense vocals by Byron Stingley.

DFA did us all a favour and committed ‘Death Tunnel’ to vinyl. This track have been recorded onto analog tape hence the hiss, but that only adds to the mystique and atmosphere of the vibe, which attempts to channel the live and intuitive spirits of Ron Hardy or Adonis’ box jamming Chicago sessions with the fiercely linear constructions of Unit Moebius’ freak-gang acid house. Gavin Russom largely made his own specialised circuit setup for the recordings, and with a little help from the 707 drumbox he’s made an authentically raw tribute to the original box bangers. Big tip!

Rough and Raw!

*update*

I’ve included a full preview of the album track ‘Dreamcatcher’, as heard on BIS, its a slow burning dark cosmic affair, which should destroy a few floors alright!
