BACK IN STOCK! Previously residing on old dusty reel-to-reels, Gene Hunt has unearthed some ace 80's chicago house treasures!
Gene Hunt began djing in 1986 at the tender age of 14, he quickly became the key DJ on the Chicago circuit and eventually being taken under the wing of the legendry Ron Hardy. Many of the local producers gave Gene their new productions on reel-to-reel tapes, often rough cuts, homemade computer drum jams which never made it to final production at a professional studio. Included here are some artists early works dating back as early as 1982-1983.
Part 2 includes unreleased tracks from Virgo Four, Craig Loftis, Farley Jack Master Funk, Virgo & Adonis and even a track by Dion, who later on went on to kick start Common's carreer and more recently has been Kanye West's sidekick. Also included are a rework of Lil Louis' Video Clash and a mash up of Marshall Jefferson and a Larry Heard track, which was a Music Box / Ron Hardy favorite. These were the tracks that people lost their minds to and danced off their asses to, hence 'Chicago Dance Tracks'.
The vinyl release hold seven tracks, all presented in their original length and includes one vinyl only bonus track, Virgo & Adonis' 'Trust'. All tracks have been restored and remastered from the original, first generation reel-to-reel tapes. The artwork shows original Chicago flyers. Comes with insert with artist interviews, Gene Hunt interview by Jackmaster Farley and original photo's from back in the day!
