Back in 1993, before the Detroit Electronic Music Festival and Movement there was World Party; a mega-event at the Joe Lewis arena in downtown Detroit in which the AAC collective were most lucky to participate.  It featured possibly the most legendary Detroit line-up one could ever hope for: Juan Atkins, Kevin Saunderson, Derrick May, Carl Craig, Richie Hawtin, Inner City live, D Wynn…  Unfortunately it was not well organized, well equipped or well attended.  But whatever energy World Party lacked, the after-party certainly made up for it (D Wynn definitely stole the show).  This entire experience, beginning to end, was resuscitated and resurrected, becoming this very mix I present before you.

For your listening pleasure, as side 1 begins with the haunting blips and bleeps of Model 500, just imagine standing in the cavernous lobby at the ‘ambient stage’ (two tables in front of some vinyl covered booths next to the soda and popcorn vendors) with Richie Hawtin on one side, Mike Huckaby on the other, and you will be instantly transported to the original Detroit Electronic Music Festival.  Enjoy!

For those of us who didn’t have the privilege to experience the Warehouse, Music Box, The Loft or Paradise Garage, at least we had MEDUSA’S. To me, that’s what Chicago was all about. Whenever I hear certain songs, I immediately get lost in memories of the sights and smells (mostly patchouli and clove cigarettes) that filled that building. Even with fake ID in pocket, Medusa’s was our haven of choice. And it continues to be an inspiration to this day. So for shits n giggles, here’s a little present celebrating one of the best clubs in Chicago. Granted not all of these are ‘Medusa’s classics’, but you’ll get the picture… HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

More late 80s/early 90s Chicago, Detroit, New York, UK house.  I think this was the first mixtape put out by Champion Sound in San Diego (they released all the ones up to the ‘Blessings’ mix).  It’s yet another trip down house music memory lane, an era I frequently revisit.  Good times!
