Track artwork

Gerd is delivering a massive chicago influenced track called H.O.U.S.E. featuring the voice of L.B. Bad, The Prince Of Dance Music. This track was originally penned in 1994 when Gerd had Elbee over to tour the Benelux. The track was released on an obscure limited edition white label only back then, but here a new rework of these old recordings. 2011 sees the track remixed by Gerd himself and he takes the tune into rough & uncompromising analogue territory with filthy synth bassline and relentless TR808 action. Jakob Korn, Arttu and Neville Watson are on remix duty and deliver some fresh remix that complete this record.

CHICAGO SKYWAY/DCOOK - Lager EP (Front Cover)

Chicago Skyway is back on MOS deep with another epic release, ranging from melodic deepness to wild-jackin’ dance floor-madness. The Lager EP kicks off with Bad Driver, a raw and solid Chicago-banger with an irresistible driving bass-line, rattling beats and atmospheric strings. For Lager Nord on the flipside Chicago Skyway teams up with his compadre Dcook, delivering an emotional and dreamy classical Detroit Techno influenced track. Lager is reworked by Steven Tang, another rising star in Chicago’s contemporary electronic-music scene, known for his Obsolete Technology imprint and his Verged Sessions on Aestatic Audio. Steven’s Obsolete Technology Remix focuses on lush orchestrated strings and deep synths flowing over a massive foundation of thumping beats.

MIRANDA, Ricardo - Urbanism EP (Front Cover)

A full Urbanism EP with remixes by Chiba (Argentina’s Hernan Cronner & Chicago’s Ricardo Miranda) and Daryl Cura – with the original version. One of the favorites on 3 Chairs member Rick Wilhite’s “Vibes” compilation, this track gets a proper single release complete with remixes by MIRANDA himself as well as Daryl Cura. “U Are Your Art”, on the flip, is a dope deep house bonus tune for even more added bang.

DISCO NIHILIST - Running (Far Away) (Front Cover)

Disco Nihilist with tracks between Chicago’s Jack urgency, Detroit’s funky machine soul and the raw magic of vintage drum machines. His style is natural, murky, filthy and raw to the core. The six track EP ”Running (Far Away)” for Running Back is an exercise in grinding beats, squelching acid lines, graceful pianos and heartfelt rhythms without any paralyzing retro romance.
