The fact that you know who Messiah is means wer’e are like in a secret club. I have the album 21st Century Jesus, and the single for Thunderdome. Being a sci fi guy, all the sound bites from The Running Man and Mad Max just made it that more awesome.

It’s always funny when numerous people claim to have invented the genre.

I loved that Messiah track back in the early 90′s. Somewhere in my basement, I think I still have the CD version of the 6 track single for that song.

Wasn’t there a parody version called “I will hump you”?

Hoo boy, get ready…

First off, go here:

http://www.ravergeek.com/gallery2/main.php/v/flyers/Illinois/chicago/

This is a list of most of the flyers for raves that actually went on in Chicago during the 90′s.

Take a look and remember some of the dj’s names that you keep on seeing. That is because they are good! (usually).

Most of the flyers will indicate what type of music the dj is spinning.

Then, when you have a list of who you wanna hear, go to one of these mixtape archives:

http://ravearchive.com/mixtapes (the big ‘un…..lotta midwest stuff here)

http://www.pukkadawn.com/index2.html (alright, lotta European stuff here seems like)

http://www.torontoravemixtapearchive.com/house.html (sure its Canada, but Toronto be bumping)

http://www.goldenerajungle.com/php-files/viewpage.php?page_id=197 (yeah its jungle, but dear god they have the jungle book! the…entire….thing)

Personal faves? Donald Glaude, DJ Dan (just saw him a few months ago in Indy), Angel Alanis, Halo+Hippe, Traxx, Terry Mullan, Mike Dearborn, Justin Log, Derrick Carter.

You can see some of the old school Chicago house heads at Detroit Electronic Music Festival too….Called Paxahu now I think.

Good luck and happy listening.

I’m liking the posted song and the links here–it’s also an education! Thanks all.

And, is this yet another black art form that got appropriated and turned white?

Love that track. They spun that like crazy in Amsterdam circa summer of ’98. I’d never heard it stateside, I’m embarrassed to admit. All the heads I knew where like “Oh yeah, thats a classic!”.

wow man that took me back!
memories of Richie Rich & Todd Terry jump in the head now with
…Tyree Cooper, the producer awesome supa dupa troopa but Fast Eddie was theee DUDE when it came to hip-house
finished up with Marshall Jefferson:On the House, Fingers Inc:Can you feel it, Virgo dream girl blended in with Adonis: no way back …then when you think it ends spinback into 2 copies the Advent remix of no way back for a major mash up

Chicago also saw the “industrial” take off – with the likes of KMFDM and a plethora of other groups on the Wax Trax label.

And while waxing nostalgic – probably favorite house/techno song from the early 90s – and the one that started my slide into the abyss. Messiah – Temple of Dreams – (Yes – those sound bites from the “Running Man.”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKduhUXa0rg

And finally – if we want to wax nostalgic about old school rap – one can’t forget Doug E Fresh and the Get Fresh Crew – AKA The Human Beatbox – AKA The World’s Greatest Entertainer.

Aw yeah – some Jay Bees!

My favorite is “Because I got it Like That” – IIRC this is the Ultimatum Mix. Fatboy Slim spins it with a bit faster of a tempo on his “On the Floor at the Big Beat Boutique”.

Wow, this just brought me back. Hip-house mix tapes from Chicago were part of my high school soundtrack.

Was hard not to hear this growing up in Chicago during the birth of house.
I wish I still had my WBMX tapes.

I’ll take your Jungle Brothers and raise you one Fingers Inc. Heh.
