It’s 1986. “I’m going to set the scene for you,” Matt Warren begins. rn“We’re driving down the street, having a hard time finding [the PowerrnPlant], because it’s in an old factory. All of the sudden, we hear musicrnthrough the car windows…. We pull up right in front. It’s all busy—there’srnpeople waiting to get in. We’re going to try to find a parking space, but Irncould hear the music coming through the window. And what did I hear? Irnheard this thing which I had never heard before. And it’s going, ‘Time tornjack, time to jack, ti-ti-ti-time to jack.’ And I’m like, Whoa, what is that? rnThis single event changed Matt Warren's life and was the keystone forrnthe launch of one of Chicago's most obscure and original house recordrnlabel. Jerome Derradji and Still Music are proud to present “Bang ThernBox! The (lost) story of AKA Dance Music”, a label launched by MattrnWarren in 1987, months after he left Sunset Records Inc.
