Le Ceez – Stick Together [STILOVE4MUSIC053]

hipodrome, , , , Leave a comment

Le Ceez is one of those OG Chicago House heads that we all know, admire and respect. As a kid, he was soaked in a huge serving of WGCI and WBMX, learning the chops with a mad famous house music cousin and religiously studying Ron Hardy and Frankie Knuckles’ edits. He’s done a few things out there, but nothing beats his edits, his DJ skills, and his knowledge. Maybe you’ve heard similar tunes before, but don’t be fooled—this is the real deal to all of us who know a thing or two in the Windy City. So, here at Stilove4music, we stick together around Le Ceez and are proud to share his first batch of disco goodies.

Traxx Presents The Definitive Articles of House Music Chapter 7

hipodrome, , , , , Leave a comment

“The 7th chapter from the definitive days of house music as the previous 6 chapters is education that a lot of alleged “House” DJs and Producers are obviously lacking.

from vintage, out of print and promo labels: trax records, jes-say, ministry of sound, sound signature, dirtyblends, lies, playhouse, relief and ratlife.

and a unpublished joint from the chicago dungeon vault building blocks of the early dance music scene with selections of today and yesterday incorporating musical blueprints of Chicago, New York and Detroit’s timeless heroes we admire, honor and inspired by their education.

we hope this will give people the chance to listen to music many may have never heard on this side of sound that provides a provocative and thoughtful musical workout in your mind with vinyl turntables, a vintage mix console with an effects box and cd players.”

Beau Wanzer – BW07 [BW07]

Beau Wanzer is back with his 7th release on his recently reactivated self-titled imprint. A conveyor belt of gurgles and spurts for the doomed dancer, another meaty morsel of undercooked music for the starving beat eaters. This slobbery slab serves up a mix of gothy goobers and techno toddlers….scavenging the dance floor for another hit to make it through the night. Who will win?

A special 15 year anniversary record celebrating L.I.E.S. Records. L.I.E.S. and Nation join forces on this huge release with a new collaborative project out of Chicago from “DuKe” and The Stranger. Two sided-12 inch housed in a full picture sleeve, once again we hear and see the scope of the broad range of what is, and can be “dance music” through the adventurous production of DuKe & The Stranger. Two eight minute versions alternating in time space and rhythm … this is the future, past and present wrapped into one from the visionaries.

The endless vaults of Ron Hardy continue to be mined, and continue to serve up timeless treasures that cut through as much ow as they did when the great man was tearing up the legendary Muzic Box in the Windy City all those years ago. Here we first get ‘Welcome To The Club’ edited by Hardy and awash with jazzy Rhodes jams and super raw drums. It’s the perfect mix of soulful spirituality and effective groove. On the flip is a classic amongst classics as ‘Peaches & Prunes’ rides on rugged drums and with fat synth twangs all loops, teased and layered up to great effect.
