Chicago Skyway – LWE Podcast 100
Jamie Blanco – Movin Down [CY008]
Mysterious newcomer Jamie Blanco displays a clear skill in assembling the kind of raw, atmospheric late 80’s Chicago House so close to our hearts. The kind of late night jams which can just as easily roll in and out of string drenched Disco cuts as they can moments of strobe-lit intensity.

Chicago Skyway & Dcook – Lager EP [MOS_DEEP_007]
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.
Disco Nihilist – Running (Far Away) [RBDN001]
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.

Photonz – Principio da Incerteza 84
Legowelt – Sark Island Acid [LIES005]
Danny Wolfers’ latest offering the “Sark Island Acid” EP once again brings the listener into his shadowy world where the sounds of Chicago and Detroit meld with a demented dreamworld in which woodland creatures attempt space travel, lonely middle-aged men cast off by society perform circuit bending experiments in their parents suburban basement and autistic fans of late night talk radio call in from the outer-reaches to discuss world politics.
