Lance Desardi - Boing Boom Shox
Limited Orange Vinyl EP
Dallas Native Lance Desardi arrived in Los Angeles alongside his roommate JT Donaldson sometime around 1999. At that time I was the head buyer & managing L.A’s largest independent dance music shop in the heart of Hollywood “Beatnonstop” on Melrose Avenue. We had just put out a double pack vinyl on Beatnonstop and a single on PCH feat. Myself & Cpen on both.
Lance & J.T were introduced to me by Chris Penny aka CPen who was also a Dallas transplant to L.A and as chance would have it they were both looking for jobs. The two had been sojourning in Chicago for about two years under the tutelage of Spencer Kincy aka Gemini and the House Mayor of Chicago Derrick Carter.
I hired them both and we soon became fast friends. I would lend them pieces of gear and keyboards etc to work on projects and suddenly we had this little community of producers and artist’s working on beats, bringing them into the shop for “show & tell.”
This created a healthy atmosphere of us all pushing each other to make songs for the labels. This is one of the reasons Seductive, Pacific Coast House & Pacific Traxx etc were started to house the different projects and alias’s of us at that time.
One day Lance showed up to work at the shop beaming from ear to ear a some pep in his step. Him and another co-worker Jaime G had gone into the studio that week and banged out “Jazz Salad.”
As soon as Lance slipped in the DAT tape and the track came thundering through the speakers with Jaime’s deep Latin intro I knew it was going to be a big tune in the underground. Such a groove and so infectious it is undeniable even today 20 odd years
later.
So nice to see it back out on wax and not at the hefty discogs price tag of over a hundred quid! The flip side “Boing” is a deep late night groover that fits nicely into a Mark Farina style set with bonus beats to boot. Not to be missed. Classic.
Words above from Sam Robson of Pacific Coast House.

Lance Desardi - Spirit Level
Live Trax Vol. 1 is the first in a series of new releases that come from live hardware sets
recorded straight to 1/4” tape.
It’s rough & ready deep house that’s been road-tested on cultivated dance floors, including
Heidigluhen, Block 9, Sunset Sound System and Love International.
Two years ago, a good friend - who knows stuff - suggested I should do a live show. Thinking it an
interesting concept, I started building the idea of a full set with new and old music, and set up my
hardware in a way that would allow me to make it work.
Distilled down to the essentials, my live touring rig consists of four main pieces of gear -
Sequentix Cirklon, Roland MC-707 & TR-8S, and a 1010 Music Blackbox.
This process led to making music in a new way that harks back to the 90’s when I started - all
hardware, minimal gear and recording versions straight down to the Studer A80 Tape machine.
These tracks are the beginnings of the fruits of this process.
If you don’t know me: as well as doing my own music, I work in various capacities as producer,
mix engineer and arranger for Honey Dijon, Luke Solomon, Gideon, Horse Meat Disco
Defected Records and lots more.
I’ve performed at as some the best clubs and festivals including Genosys & NYC Downlow at
Block 9, Heidegluen, Adonis in London and Panorama Bar.
My style of house and techno has always been tipped towards the underground, with raw, deep &
driving sounds all key to the mix.

Lance Desardi - The Power Of Suggestion (2025 Live Version)
Repress!
Texas-born, London-based Lance DeSardi has remastered his classic 2013 cut 'The Power Of Suggestion' which was notably included on Carl Craig's masterful three-CD mix for Ministry of Sound. It's an organic sound with deft synth motifs and rolling drums topped with airy vocals and wispy melodies. The flip side offers a 2025 live version that is more driving and club-ready but still with the same majestic art of melody and outdoor serenity. It's one of those warm, fuzzy and soulful sounds that brings great joy and the spoken word vocal sample adds extra emotional depth.

Hudd Traxx call on London based US Producer Lance De Sardi for their last EP before they hit 50 Releases and celebrate their 10th Anniversary. De Sardi it seems is more than up for the task, and it's no surprise having had previous releases dating back to the 90's on classic labels like Seasons & Om, as well as his more recent Legwork Records, which he co-owns. Pariah kicks the EP off in fine style with a Deep House Monster of a track, smooth beats, an infectious vocal and lush pads ensure that this will be a big one for the heads. Although the EP only has 3 tracks there's plenty of variety. Flip for the B Side and find a tough Acidy number in Youth, and a groovy track in Race the Clock which is made for the dance floor. 2015 is already proving to be a big year for Hudd Traxx following releases from Iron Curtis & Nachtbraker, and Lance De Sardi keeps the flag flying high with this solid EP.

Lance is back at it again. Deep NAKED MUSIC vibe'n house with sub-aquatic atmosphere and heavenly grooves. Diving low end that pushes subtle melody and fill the bottomless void that Lance is infamous for creating. Heavy UK vibe on the production that touches upon 16b, ODORI, and CHARLES WEBSTER. Siesta leading the pack once again.

The Coastal Commission - On The Rocks

The Coastal Commission / Jesse Outlaw - I'm Underground
The Coastal Commission “On the Rocks”
Atmospheric synths with a deep rolling Dubby Bassline beckon you to the dancefloor.
The staccato 606 drum machine snare hits snap over the track before a monster kick
drum comes thumping out of the speakers.
“On the Rocks” has served as a killer intro track by many International Dj’s including
Grant Dell who recently opened with it in Los Angeles for “Sunday Sessions”.
A big tune in South America and in particular in São Paulo, Brazil it serves as a great
mood builder for Dj’s looking to captivate their audience right off the bat.
The Coastal Commission literally tuned the Arp Odyssey Bassline to shake down the
walls, ceiling and floor while making this track. Always a massive fan of Night writers
(RIP) “Push the Feeling on” Sam read an interview where they revealed that they wrote
the B-line using a Sequencial Circuits “Arp Odyssey” and that sent him on a mission to
track one down. He eventually found one covered in dust in the back of a thrift shop in
Santa Barbara for $50! (They now go for bout 3K). Excitedly Sam rushed it home to the
studio to clean it up & after some playing around the Bassline was found and the other
elements were built around that.
The track finally breaks down to a beautiful jazz trumpet with muffled voices
conversating in the background saying “Yeah that was Funky!” releasing the tension
before building the strings back up with the vocal “Come on” commanding you to keep
dancing.
“On the Rocks” is hailed as a Modern Deep House Classic by fans and definitely one
that will stay in your record box.
Jesse Outlaw feat. Jason Harris “I’m Underground”
Jesse pens another hypnotic slab of awesome West Coast dance floor tech funk
alongside Jason’s Harris on vocals.
Jason weaves his story of Underground living in the Los Angeles scene over a pounding
kick drum and scattered percussion. The haunting keys keep the listener locked in as
the dub Bassline throbs beneath the track. As the tune proceeds it hypnotizes you &
carry’s you off into a dank basement groove. Only ever on Dub plate & used on the
second PCH “Summer Sessions” mix CD this track finally gets a full release and is
remastered by Martin Iveson.
Classic PCH Business.

The Coastal Commission - The Conversation
2
Boing - Currency
The Coastal Commission “The Conversation” Le Conversation was a French bakery located right across the street from the old PCH studio “The Hall of Records” situated at the end of Melrose Avenue on the edge of Hollywood. I had relocated from the Sunny shores of Carpinteria and brought all the gear with me right on the edge of Hollyweird. Often times you would find me stumbling over there on a Saturday & Sunday at the break of day, blood shocked eyes and whiskey on my breath for a fresh coffee and chocolate eclair after an all-night sesh making beats.
Around that time we had started working on Drum & Bass tunes for my label CRIMESCENE and were experimenting with different techniques. One weekend I was hosting Goldie’s old producer and Moving Shadow label boss Rob Playford alongside Mc Jakes, EZ Rollers and Calyx for a festival just outside of LA. After taking them for breakfast at Le Conversation we all piled over to mine for a smoke and Rob gave me some tips on making Growly Basslines. That next week we got to work. During the process we watched Gene Hackman in “The Conversation” about a crazy spy setting up microphones outdoors to entrap a bad guy and also caught Optical Dj’ing with Ed Rush up the street at Johnny Depp’s Viper Room. After an all-night sesh of “Soul Caliber” Matt & Ben gave us some pointers & not long after “the Conversation “was born.
An overdriven Bassline, Dubbed out bleeps sampled from a New Zealand crosswalk layered thru Space echoes and old Roland Delays gave the track an other-worldly feel.
The 303 chugs along breaking down into haunting Zulu choruses while the bleeps roll in and out and the track growls like you’re drifting through space. Definitely a late night affair. Originally on the Beat nonstop label and fetching a pretty penny on Discogs we’ve
brought it back on Pacific Coast House remastered my the Mighty Martin Iveson. Enjoy.
Boing “Currency” Finally this one has been unearthed. Boing originating from Argentina blessed us with this & it was a secret weapon of DJ Doc Martin for years. I paired in with The
Conversation on this slab of wax as it too has an other-worldly feel of dancing in outer space. The B-line is absolutely massive on a rig this and the wiggly bleeps keep splashing in & out before the monster synth line comes in and lifts you up to the rafters. Word has it the Wiggle boys hammered this alongside Swag lad Grant Dell. This was only available on 10 white labels prior to getting this full release.
Run don’t walk to cop this, an absolute gem in your arsenal!

Word has it the Wiggle boys hammered this alongside Swag lad Grant Dell. This was only available on 10 white labels prior to getting this full release.
Run don’t walk to cop this, an absolute gem in your arsenal!

The Coastal Commission - Our Music
I met Aaron Parr back in 1992 aka the golden era of electronic dance music. Everything was kicking off in the L.A Underground and he was working slap dap in the epi-center at Beatnonstop Records on Melrose Avenue in the heart of Los Angeles. At the time I was living in Santa Barbara still doing my college radio show "The Joy of X" and coming down to L.A on the weekends almost every week since 1989. Aaron had been a mainstay down the street at Streetsounds Records where my then Young friend 19 year old Steve Loria worked alongside warehouse dj & underground legend Barry Weaver.
These were heady times. Clubs, after-hours and renegade break in warehouse jams were the order of the day…every day! The shops fueled the dj's with the dope records and the ravers with the party flyers, the Record Stores were the hub of the whole scene and the key was befriending these upwardly mobile soon to be underground superstars if you wanted fat slabs of wax AND to know where the real deal undergrounds were shaking…literally.
In 1992 I got selected for the U.S Olympic Basketball team and headed back to Europe in an effort to make it to Barcelona and get smashed for the GOLD by the dream team in front of the whole World…no thanks! We got knocked out by Petrovic and the Czechs right b4 Barcelona!
Anywho after 3 months I returned to Cali and there had been a shift, Steve Loria moved up the street from Streetsounds & opened Beatnonstop and it was HUGE! It had quickly become the largest independent record store in the U.S. The scene was massive, everything had exploded. I got in where I fit in and started a weekly Techno club "Happy Planet" on Tuesdays and a House club "NYC" with Doc Martin on a Friday. Both were rammed.
Aaron the industrious Brit from Nottingham & his bredren Dave Fong went to work early too, putting out the Rudiments EP on Worldship Records and then following up with Psycho Ray in 1998.. In 1998 II closed my Culture shop "Soma" down in Santa Barbara, packed up my studio & sound system and moved to L.A official. I had gotten the offer to manage Beatnonstop on Melrose after Steve Loria left and jumped at the chance.
I quickly put together the Beatnonstop Record Label, releasing a double pack "Pacific Coast House EP" feat myself and local producers Aztech Sol, CPen and Kenneth Graham/Steve Loria. I then kicked off PCH Records with "Rhodes Through Space" and after a drunken rendezvous at the Hall of Records Studio one night I signed Aaron & Daves Teflon Dons "My Vice" to the labels.
Vice was right down my alley a dark, grimy acid track with menacing Pacino samples.
After a buying trip for Beatnonstop to NYC. Harry the Bastard from Watts took me down to meet fellow Brit Stefan at Dance Tracks in Manhattan where I found the sample "Our Music" on an accapella in the bins. Super inspired after two weeks trolling round every record distributors warehouse (Watts, Nemesis, Syntax, Downtown etc) and hitting every record store in Manhattan (Vinyl Mania, Discorama, Frankie Bones shop, Satellite and on and on) I came home to L.A and me and Nate loaded up the Emu 64 Ultra sampler and penned "Our Music."
The track is obviously very New York inspired and was received well by Big Apple Dj's David Morales, Junior Vasquez, Roger Sanches & Baby Hec Romero. I would definitely say this track was a slow burner elsewhere and took off later getting the nod from DJ Deep in Paris, + Terry Francis, Eddie Richards and Mr. C in the UK.
It got no love in L.A surprisingly but everywhere else across the country with Miguel Migs and DJ Garth in the Bay, King Britt in Philly and DJ Pope in Baltimore. Now it's back on wax after 25 years remastered by the mighty Martin Iveson and I think the World is finally ready!

The Coastal Commission - Bring Down The Walls

Jesse Outlaw - Let It Go
Coastal Commission “Bring Down the Walls”
“Bring down the Walls” was a nod to Raze’s “Break for Love”, Robert Owens “Bring
Down the Walls” and Ritchie Hawtin’s use of the Roland 606 throughout “Sheet One.”
We gave the tune a Californian psychedelic twist with conga laden drums, a moody
synth, low pulsing 303 patterns + Benjamin Zephaniahs patois call to “Move the Body
Rhythmwize!”
The first PCH releases had dropped Worldwide to International acclaim from DJ’s far
and wide across the Globe with support in London, Paris & New York. However the
local scene here in L.A that preached “Love, inclusion & Unity” was anything but that.
L.A at that time was very tribal & divided up into 3 camps. If you weren’t affiliated with
any of them (aka independent) then you were pretty much locked out of getting any kind
of gig support or the Dj’s from those camps actually playing the music.
The local feedback from Dj’s was that what we were making wasn’t “house,” but
“Techno” which was absurd to me. “Bring Down the Walls” was a mantra to “move the
bod”y and in doing so “bring down the walls” of separation not just in L.A but throughout
society in general. Thank goodness for support from people like Terry Francis, Eddie
Richards, DJ Deep & Philly Stalwart King Britt.
After years of copies going for upward of $100+ on Discogs the now freshly remastered
copies by At Jazz’s Martin Iveson are finally hitting the platters this Spring.
Jesse Outlaw “Let it Go”
I met Jesse at Beatnonstop Records on Melrose Ave with Miguel Placencia in the late
90’s. Miguel (RIP) was a mainstay in the Underground scene and had always been very
supportive of my endeavors. He had had success with a huge release on Yellow
Orange and was working with Jesse under the moniker “When Worlds Collide.” I signed
“Brighter Days” & “Set you Free” from them and released the tracks on my Seductive
imprint. They told me that they were making the tracks on a Sony Playstation “Music
Now” program and I was like FFS “What.s more Underground than that!?”
Later Jesse gave me some of his solo work. The track “Let it Go” was never mastered &
only ever cut to Dub-plate and featured on my 1st PCH mix “Pacific Coast House
Sounds.”
It has now been mastered by Martin Iveson and is available in all it’s glory.
The dreamy vocal “You need to let it go” beckons over the top of driving percussive
Latin beats and church organ which is a great compliment to the flip side of “Bring down
the Walls.”
All in all two West Coast stompers now finally available remastered on PCH in Orange
vinyl.

Coastal Commission - Straight No Chaser

Coastal Commission - Rhodes Through Space
Growing up on the slag heaps of County Durham Northumbria, young Sam Robson dreamed of one day finding a better way & somewhere to live with nicer bloody weather! An avid record collector from an early age he looked to music for the answer…
Born in Bradford in the late 60's and growing up in the North-East in the 70's, alternative music fast became his obsession from punk, to new wave, two tone, rock and new romantic he collected it all. Electro and Hip Hop hit his local boombox in the form of "Crucial Electro" on StreetSounds Records and he was soon hungry for anything new & electronic coming out of the U.S.
His call was answered one day at school his mate Gareth (a fellow music enthusiast) lent him a 12" record from Chicago that opened up his mind & changed his course. The piano and gospel tinged record was none other than Marshall Jefferson's "House Music Anthem" that told him "to move your body" and that "house music was gonna set you free…' The rest is History. forward 10 years later to 1996 and Big Sam is now DJing a weekly House night in Santa Barbara alongside LA stalwart DJ Doc Martin. He lives just south of Santa Barbara two blocks from the Pacific Ocean in the sunny beach town of Carpinteria, (about an hour north of Los Angeles).
The warehouse is kitted out with a full studio set up of Roland Corp's latest & greatest but he also has the City Planning Commission breathing down his neck and threatening the boot as his residence unbeknownst to him had been built without any city permits! He is told that his only hope for keeping his building safe from demolition is THE CALIFORNIA COASTAL COMMISSION who protect everything 3 miles in on the entire California coast.
With the Coastal Commission on his mind & while managing L.A Dance Mecca music store "Beatnonstop Records" he meets fellow Brit, musician & house-head Chris Penny aka CPen. They quickly bond at The Cat & the Fiddle over a pint & early 90's rave and Jungle toons. Sam invites Chris up to his studio in Carpinteria for a weekend getaway from LosAngeles and a studio seshion. That night they stuff Chris's Rhodes piano in the boot of Sam's tiny Beemer and shoot up the coast on Highway 101 Carpinteria bound with their mate Lil Johnny "Toaster Oven."
After burning the midnight oil (with fellow studio boffin & PCH engineer "Evil Eye" Nate), when daylight broke "Rhodes through Space" was born. A mastering session was quickly booked and the white labels arrived a week later where they were quickly stuffed into a suitcase and it was off to South Beach/Miami to promote the track at for WMC aka Winter Music Conference. In quiet desperation and not knowing what to name the collective "COASTAL COMMISSION' featuring CPen was agreed upon and scribbled onto the White Labels. As fortune would have it, Sam would run into Philly House stalwart King Britt outside his hotel who was a regular customer at the store back in L.A. King would be one of the first peeps to receive a copy of the record. That night King invited Sam to the club where he broke the track at the Basement Jaxx Conference party party to a packed house alongside legends Daft Punk, Armand Van Helden & DJ Sneak.
25 years later the Coastal Commission are back, remastered and Cpen has since received two Grammys with Honey Dijon for their work on Beyonce's House album. "Rhodes Through Space" is a musical tribute to the club/rave/warehouse party that is still relatable to this very day.

Kuzco - HA HA HA - Blackmoonchild Remix
UK Street Soul, electronic, Deep House
After enticing tastemakers and fans the world over with her 2-track junket into street soul, Be Loved / What Could Happen, Kuzco doubles down with the after-hours antidote. Bound to Be presents the final two tracks to complete the 4-track EP, plus 2 remixes from Ladymonix and Black Moonchild.
Ladymonix delivers an uncompromising scat dub of Be Loved - a niche and signature style to emerge from the Detroit underground that Ladymonix champions. This one is strictly for the house dancers. The B-side features "Waaalk" and "Ha Ha Ha", a sultry and energetic jaunt into ghetto tech and electro. If it wasn't already evident, Kuzco is clearly making a stand and representing the FLINTA and queer club spaces that she embodies.
The B-side is perfectly complemented by an outstanding remix from Detroit powerhouse Black Moonchild - a superbly deep and hypnotic techno groove reminiscent of UFO activity over the Motor City, with bleeping electronic signals passing through jittery hi-hat and drum passages, married with Kuzco's saucy spoken word.

fka boursin - Listless Intertext (Frank & Tony's Housebeat Dub)
FORMAT: 12”
GENRE/S: House, Deep House
TRACKLIST:
A. Listless Intertext
B. Listless Intertext (Frank & Tony's Housebeat Dub)
SHORT INFO:
fka boursin is a DJ and producer out of Bristol, UK.
Previously known as DJ Boursin, he is recognized for his deep, ambient-infused house music that explores political dimensions of clubs and identity politics.
Welcomed into the Scissor & Thread fold, fka boursin shares two cuts of deep and introspective
electronic music.
The original Listless Intertext is a hazy trip through ambient soundscapes, shuffling rhythms and half-caught conversations, drifting across a 12 minute run time that slowly evolves and shifts with time.
"Listless Intertext is a track centred around the "failed" employment of cheap vocoder software that attempted to process explicit words and phrases across 11 minutes." says fka boursin. "Instead, the vocoder output made any words indecipherable and I was left with thematic vagueness. The final text of the track is simply a submission to its own limitations with some french thrown in."
When label bosses Frank & Tony step up for their Housebeat Dub, they keep the essential mood but introduce a thick, fat groove that works just as well in conveying the mood.
"Our remix is a strictly dancefloor approach," says Frank, "an extended psychedelic beat rework perfect for late night, early morning vibes".

Argentinian artist Juan Hansen presents his debut album 'Ultrasonido'; twelve tracks spanning indie
dance, tech house, and soft melodic house, released on his own newly founded label Ultrasonido,
with the second single 'Inside My Mind' coming out via belonging by Innellea.
After his breakthrough Boiler Room appearance in 2019, Juan has been on a relentless quest to push the
boundaries, playing major stages around the globe, becoming one of the figureheads of the Argentinian
electronic music world. As an exceptional live artist, multi-instrumentalist and vocalist, Juan brings a real
sense of groove to the stage, merging two worlds effortlessly: deeply emotional songwriting and direct,
dancefloor-focused club tracks. 'Ultrasonido' brings both sides together. The album is a clear evolution of
Juan Hansen, presenting a wider range of his sound, which he also presents in his live performances. A
journey through the musical world of Juan Hansen.
Across twelve tracks, with contributions from Clér Letiv, Santi Portillo, Franco BA, Rocio Giorgi, Miko
Franconi, Brigado Crew and Marley Waters, Juan shifts between club-focused tracks and more intimate,
song-driven moments, moving naturally between Spanish and English. It’s a debut album that captures both
his roots and the direction he’s evolving toward.
Juan Hansen's story doesn't start on the dancefloor, it starts with acoustic instruments. He built his
foundation in the indie and rock scenes of Argentina before crossing into electronic music, a journey that's
still audible in every track he makes. After years of building his profile with live performances, mesmerizing
audiences from Cosquín Rock and Ultra in Argentina to Watergate in Berlin, Burning Man in the Nevada
desert, and Grand Factory in Beirut.
His search is real and visceral; a search for the different, mixing genres without prejudice, with a seriously
playful attitude. Positioned within a new generation of artists dedicated to improvising on stage, Juan fuses
electronic sounds with analog instruments and organic soundscapes. There's no genre cage. 'Ultrasonido' is
his debut album and the launch of his own label, also named Ultrasonido. A long-form statement
after years of singles, EPs, and shows around the globe.

Laid Back in Top Form: New Music Flowing After 47 Years
After 47 years together, the iconic Danish duo Laid Back continue to defy expectations, entering a new and remarkably productive creative phase.
Their upcoming album, Born to Fly, captures their unmistakable sound while showcasing a renewed sense of energy and inspiration
“We feel like we are meant to make music. And when we play music, it feels like we’re flying,” says John Guldberg, reflecting on the album’s title and spirit.
Long known for their unhurried approach to releasing music, Laid Back now find themselves in unfamiliar territory. Guldberg describes a surge in creativity that has
turned their process on its head.
“It’s kind of funny — Laid Back has always taken its time making records. We’ve been behind schedule for most of our career. Now it’s the opposite:
I’m actually starting to worry about whether I’ll have time to release everything I’ve got in me,” he says.
Their current workflow reflects this momentum. Guldberg develops initial ideas,which he shares with Tim Stahl, who then brings them to life with vocals and instrumentation.
“When he sends me something and I start singing and playing on it, that’s when it really becomes Laid Back,” says Stahl.
The duo’s creative output has accelerated to such an extent that even ahead of the release of Born to Fly, they already have enough material prepared for more than a double album for their next project.
“It’s about making the most of the time you have left. I used to feel there was plenty of time and no need to rush. Now time feels much more valuable,” Guldberg adds
.
Alongside their creative resurgence, Laid Back are also seeing a shift in their audience demographics. Streaming data and live performances indicate a growing younger fanbase — a development that has taken the duo by surprise.
“I’m really looking forward to getting back out on stage. We still have the urge to perform, and we love making people happy. That’s what our music is for,” says Stahl.
Born to Fly is set for release across CD, vinyl, and digital formats. Laid Back will also perform in selected cities across Europe later this year 2026.
“We hope people can hear that we’ve grown — and that it still makes sense for us to make new music,” says Guldberg.

Short info:
It's with great pleasure that we present the 100th release of Quintessentials! Happy 100! Started in 2008, Quintessentials` slogan was and still is "deep, raw and real". On the way to the 100th release, we discovered talents like (just to name but a few...) Anton Zap, Baaz, Ugly Drums, Mat Chiavaroli, Simon Hinter or The Black Fan, as well as featuring established producers like Luke Solomon (as Lukatron), Borrowed Identity, Alton Miller, Simoncino, Soul of Hex, Felipe Gordon, Javonntte, KRL, Andy Ash or Ralph Session. Quintessentials has never just released stricly one type of music, but put together cool tunes from the House spectrum: Deep House, NY House, Detroit House, Acid House, Chicago House....or do we wanna call it just "House music"? This classic old school 6-track compilation features again a multi house culture and fuses present and past! Quite essential we think!
