Hieroglyphic Being – Dance Music 4 Bad People LP [STS431LP]
“I’ve been partying since 1984,” says Jamal Moss, the living Chicago legend known by his dedicated cult following as the one, the only, Hieroglyphic Being. “40 years later, it’s drastically different – everybody’s angry!” So sets the stage for Dance Music 4 Bad People, the artist’s first album for Smalltown Supersound. Tapping back into the same cosmic frequencies responsible for the prolific house virtuoso’s most vital work, the album sees Moss coaxing nine anthems for those up to no good from out of the ether. With driving drum machine workouts and low-slung synth sexuality, Hieroglyphic Being pays homage to human fallibility, drawing focus on the revolutionary potential of house music and club culture that is so often lost to the chaos of the present. “I have yet to walk into a club and see everybody hug and say: Let’s forgive each other, let’s move forward and make the world a better place,” he levels. “With all these conversations about sexuality, ethnicity, politics, whatever, when you walk into an environment with the music, you are supposed to celebrate all of that. Let it be and come together.”
Traxx presents The Definitive Articles Of House Music Chapter 5
“The 5th chapter from the definitive days of house music, as the previous 4 chapters is education that a lot of alleged “House” DJs and Producers are obviously lacking.
Traxx plays again from the early 80s, 90s & today from vintage, out of print and promo labels: Trax Records, Dancemania, Spectral, Sound Signature, Dirtyblends, LIES to productions from: Farley Jackmaster Funk, Boyd Jarvis, Marcus Mixx, JTC, Delroy Edwards, Carl Craig, Leron Carson, Michael Jackson, Ray Charles, Todd Terry, Colonel Abrams, Basement Jaxx, Sneaker, Gene Hunt, Mark Imperial, Orgue Electronique, Population One, Deep Concentration, Brand New Heavies, 2 Dogs In A House and a unpublished joint from the Chicago dungeon vault building blocks of the early dance music scene with selections of today and yesterday incorporating musical blueprints of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.”
