I had a lovely email from Harry Bennet who shared with me his “Anthology of American Acid House”. Continuing the creative curatorial spirit of Harry Smith’s 1952 Anthology of American Folk Music, this anthology presents the legacy of American acid house in three themed mixes curated and performed by CCC DJ Harry Bennett. Each mix contributes [...]
J M Silk – I Can’t Turn Around
Here is a gem of track that is on the flip side of a DJ promo and is J M Silks version of Isaac Hayes classic “I Can’t turn around” that was out in 1986, an absolute monster of a record, still gets an amazing reaction on a dancefloor, as proved by Horse Meat Disco [...]

Real House Music
For the last year or so I have seen and heard more and more the use of description, label or way of identify something as “Real House Music”, creating yet another pigeon hole. Out of all names I have heard describe house over the years, this one wins the prize for the most fucking ridiculous. [...]

Sterling Void – It’s All Right
Another Chicago House Legend from the 80′s has to be Sterling Void, who in 1987 wrote and produced the club anthem “It’s Alright” with Paris Brightledge on Vocals. The majority of the lyrics still hold truth today and will do in many years to come even when we have left this earth and future generations [...]
