A compelling collection of work from the Chicago scene of the late 80s – and a set that not only features some lesser-known house, but also a proto-hop hop track from The Village Crew! Other artists include "Two Of A Kind", "Kool Rock Steady", "Tyree Cooper", "Paradise Inc", "debrice King", and "Reggio". (Hip Hop, House Music) LP, Vinyl record album

Very cool work from Ben Cenac of Newcleus fame – a set of house instrumentals that use all the keyboard genius of that earlier groove and move it into the lean clubby sound of the New York scene in the early 90s! There's a great post-Todd Terry vibe going on here – bassy rhythms, crackling beats, and that approach that was definitely learning that less is more with club cuts like these – very much in the spirit of the best work on Nu Groove at the time! The set's only got six tracks, but all are great – and titles include "Breathe Deep", "Liquid", "How Do I Love Thee", "Mystery Of Love", "Dream 2 Science", and "My Love Turns To Liquid".
