SUPER RAW HARD HITTING CLUB EDIT OF ARMANDO’S CLASSIC HOUSE CUT PRESSED ON TRANSPARENT ORANGE VINYL More

6 tracks from Armando vaults. This time on Housetime - a lesser known Trax sub label. Minimal and raw jacking Chicago house in all forms. Check 'Dance With Me' for Armando's take on filtered house. Original pressings from 1989 were pressed terribly and popped and crackled. This 2015 re issue has been re mastered and released in conjunction with the rights holders. More

Armando Gallop, the legendary Chicago producer & DJ whose career was tragically cut short by his death in 1996 left behind a legendary reputation as one of the windy city's finest. Having released on seminal labels such as; Trax, Musique, Westbrook and his own Warehouse imprint, Armando brought his own rough hewn brand of machine Funk and acid to the table and the dance music world has been much better off for it since. "The New World Order Level 3" is a collection of Armando's tracks running through various styles and sounds; Acid, Disco infected bangers, crazy Chi-town jack tracks and much more. This collection is a great overview of some of Armando's lesser known tracks and has always been a tough one to track down, it also features the storming "Pleasuredome" that was recently comped on Nina Kraviz' stellar DJ Kicks mix among a clutch of other lesser known gems. An essential addition to any Chicago lovers record collection, essential original House music! Re-mastered, re-pressed and re-released in conjunction with the official license and rights holders for 2015.

Straight, unadulterated, Chi-town box jams from the mighty Chris "Bam-Bam" Westbrook! This is that 1988 flavour, raw acid, punishing drum machines, the unmistakable sound of warehouse parties, darkened dance-floors and smoke machines in overdrive. Often imitated, never bettered - The real deal! One of many classics from Bam-Bam's impressive back catalogue "Give It To Me" is tough, sexy and jacking and still sounds like it weighs 1000 tons over 30 years (!) since it's original release. Reissued here in it's original form on the Westbrook label for 2016. Fully licensed and remastered with the full consent of Bam-Bam / Westbrook Records. Do not sleep on this Chicago acid House killer - Essential stuff! More

Chris "Bam Bam" Westbrook is one of the unsung heroes of Chicago House. His Westbrook label was responsible for releasing a slew of quality records from artists like Armando & Mike Dunn as well as his own productions. One record that mysteriously never officially came out on the label was "Hot Spot" from 1987, never making it past White label stage. Here, for the very first time, "Hot Spot" finally gets a full release boasting all 4 alternate mixes of the track by the man himself. Suggestive lyrics, chattering drum machine rhythms and uplifting pianos in the classic raw Chicago style are what makes "Hot Spot" a special re-issue. Harking back to a headier time, the record still slams hard today and shows contemporary producers how House music should really be done. A long lost, un-released nugget from the old school, re-mastered from the original DAT and officially released for the first time with original Westbrook label artwork in conjunction with Bam Bam / Westbrook Records, Chicago USA.
