It's coming home, it's coming home - house music is coming home! A second instalment of the Groove Access: series Chicago Is Home offers us five fresh tracks from the windy city landing in a glorious cavalcade of razor edged snares and hypnotic jack house. Ed Nine & Kid Enigma's 'Bandleaders' opens side one in spectacular fashion with spoken mantras lying deep in the mix, distinctive phasing arpeggios, poking keyboard riffs and ringing cymbals. JSquare's 'Get Wicked' kicks with even more power, tribal rhythms bouncing of bleepy melodies, before 'Move' by Geto Mark rounds off the side with the strutting, beautifully brutal 'Move', a proper 3AM peak time pleaser. Steve Noah's 'The Hater' opens side two, a wily acid line worming its way across a raw, stripped down backing before exploding into serious gnarliness when you least expect it. AFTR's 'Undercover' rounds things off with another knuckle duster of a tune, leaving no doubt that Chicago is still the place to be when it comes to house. More

Groove Access Returns with a split ep by Chicago's very own Rob Threezy and Maddjazz. This one is meant to make the entire Warehouse rumble. More

In the endless (warranted) veneration of Chicago's formative house sound, it's easy to overlook the cats still pushing the Windy City scene today. This sizzling hot VA disc on Groove Access celebrates four operators bringing some upfront, no-nonsense heat to the club. Kid Enigma brings a tough, bumping but ultimately deep pressure on 'In My Heart', while Chicago Skyway taps a twisted up, Gherkin Jerkin' kind of tweaked freakery for the wild end of the night. Dan Ryan brings a dreamy, soulful sample vibe strapped to some pumping drums and Ed Nine jacks things out with some choice acid on 'Three Hunnit Three'. More

Groove Access is back with a split EP by Dan Ryan & Ed Nine. Dan Ryan starts off the A-side with the cosy bassline of 'New Home', the track traversing down a path full of punchy stabs, atmospheric vocal textures and a unique key change to boot. 'Fuzzy Tape Dreams' is next up, setting out to hypnotize you with bouncy bass, crunchy drums, hazy 909 rides and pads that sound like they were run through your grandma's old transistor radio. Ed Nine takes over the B-side with 'Another Day'. Starting off with a glowing intro, we're quickly led into a floor banging groove, followed by a dreamy push and pull chord progression. Then, as an encore, 'Distant Reality', all knocking kick, dancing percussion and throwback brass. More
