This very limited addition of the vinyl version represents music that became known as the 'House Sound of Chicago'. The defining moment of modern music. The modern legends; Darrell Pandy, the most unique entertainer I ever met, began his career with 'Love Can't Turn Around', Loleatta Holloway made her comeback here from her earlier disco career, Frankie Knuckles first records were recorded with us, as well as his work being included with Jamie Principle . Marshall Jefferson, Joe Smooth, Cannon Irving, Chip E., Keith Nunnasly, Steve 'Silk' Hurley, Ricky Dillard, and many more This was the time house music was created, and across the street from DJ International was the warehouse where the legends played. This all happened on Rental Street now undergoing the City of Chicago's now and new DJ international Street. With over 400 recordings done at DJ International and Underground Studios, most of Chicago's legendary DJ's were there. For those who were able to be there knew that this was the basis on everybody's mythology of house music . The full story told coming soon. This compilation is for deejays honoring "momentum' music, and history as DJ International a house 'Sound Of Chicago' music for DJ's is the collaboration in CHICAGO, with the greatest artist / performers. Rocky Jones Chairman and Founder of DJ International Records & Underground Records Review: Should you need a primer in the early days of Chicago house, you could do worse than pick up this triple-vinyl compilation. As the title suggests, it celebrates the mid-to-late '80s work of the pioneering DJ International label (the main rival to Larry Sherman's TRAX empire), and the Underground Studios building where much of the music was recorded. It's a veritable treasure trove of early anthems - Fast Eddie's 'Acid Thunder', Sterling Void's 'It's Alright', Joe Smooth's 'Promised Land', Frankie Knuckles' 'Only The Strong Survive', and so on - with a few slightly deeper selections thrown in. For example, it's great to hear Endless Pokers' 'The Poke' again, while The Mix Masters' "'n The Mix' still sounds like the great warehouse anthem it always was.
