Part 1 of 2! Gene Hunt shares his ancient treasures with us… up to now this stuff resided only on reels! Featuring a truly all-star line-up!!! TIP Rush Hour continues to unearth never released Chicago house classics from the eighties, also known as the golden era of house music. This time we team up with Gene Hunt, who started out dj’ing in 1986 at the tender age of 14. Gene soon became a key DJ in the local scene due to the many gigs he did at legendary hotel parties, like Bismarck, La Mirage, Sauers, Da Vinci Manor, AKA and the Riviera.

Luckily, Gene had stores all his copies like a librarian and now, 25 years (or more!) later, the time has finally come to share this great music with the rest of the world. The tracks included here are all rough, uncut versions, oftentimes home made drum computer jams, which never made it to final production at a professional studio. They represent early output of the artists involved, some tracks dating back as early as 1982-1983. Besides unreleased tracks by Mr. Fingers, Steve Poindexter, Farley and Steve Hurley, the compilation also includes reworks and original versions that were never properly released, like Ron Hardy’s original version of ‘Sensation’ or Gene Hunts version of ‘Donnie’ and Mike Dunn’s rework of Gherkin Jerks (Larry Heard) ‘Acid Indigestion’ . These tracks were deemed not commercial (i.e. radio friendly) enough by labels such as Trax or DJ International, but were all the more popular in the Chicago clubs. These were the tracks that people lost their min
