Soulful House Vol. 8 - Swingin' Chicago House

I am so glad that a new style is gaining more and more popularity: The Chicago Sound, a mixture of Jazz, Blues and Swing is being recreated and mixed up with jackin' House Beats.

You sure know some of these old tunes that were played when gramophones - imagine a 1210 just with unsteady single speed but with build-in speaker limited to 11 KHz sound - were modern.
So this sound really works great combined with House and there've been so many great tunes released in the last time that i decided to put them (and some older ones) together into a mix.

Some of this tunes are already my alltime fav's and i play them whenever i can, thats a style i really love. Guys, check it out. Swing is the new Funk!

Revisited House Chapter 6 - House Classics 1994 - 1996

It seems that House Classics are getting popular again. Recently i've heared many old tracks being played in different radio shows.
You can hear samples of these Classics in many new released songs and many Classics are put together and re-issued on compilations nowadays.

Well so i went through my collection and picked some of the most impressive songs from 1994 to 1996.
This was the time when House Music really got me and also gained popularity. You could see more House tracks played on video stations than today.

It's still hard to find some of these tracks, glad i had many of them already, but eBay is your friend, as long as they aren't buyable in digital form yet.
I know there are still some crackers missings like Daft Punk or Funky Green Dogs, they'll appear in the next mix for sure.

So enjoy this trip back in the days when music was happy and made you happy!
