Killer, vintage Detroit house —  lowdown and stepping, and homemade the old-fashioned way, with cassette overdubs, no sequencing. Prepared by Omar S from Leron’s tapes.

Previously unreleased house from southside Chicago, 1989.

Ray Barney’s label is the bees knees in raw, stripped Chicago house music. From Duane And Co’s breakthrough and killer classics from the likes of young Lil Louis, through to the first shoots of ghetto house.

Lethal footwork from three originators. The A is dancefloor murder, honed and nasty, vintage Chicago and Detroit gone clear across the SA border; the flip is a fierce, futuristic juke vocal collage, hard as nails.
