Re: Mix: TeemuP - Chicago
A few words from Teemu:

"All of the tracks are from chicago or from chicago artists"

"The point of the mix was to play as diverse a selection of chicago house as possible"

"Some people are going to like the beginning and some people the end but i feel it was a pretty decent attempt at playing a set of different styles of chicago house from whiney soulful jesus house to sexually explicit dance mania stuff"

"i was going back to my roots", he concludes

I love the two tracks from near the beginning (11-23mins):
Johnny Fiasco - Subminimal - Cajual
Braxton Holmes - People Everyday - Cajual

the vocal on the first one and the keyboard solo jam on the second and the backing groove are just really chilled.

Re: Mix: TeemuP - Chicago
I really love house, and especially a lot of the stuff I've been hearing from local DJs over the past couple of years, but I don't like this kind of house. I was excited to get this mix on my ipod, you all made it sound good, but I was let down. Maybe this is just a mix of older stuff, but I find this kind of house music really cheesy. The cheese factor keeps me from enjoying nearly all of these tunes. The end gets a teeny bit better, but over all, very meh.

Re: Mix: TeemuP - Chicago
Just for my own enlightenment, could you be more specific about what you find cheesy about some of those songs viddy?

Re: Mix: TeemuP - Chicago
it's house music, it's supposed to be cheesy

(in a good way. Or, as mr Rick Smith once said: "there's good cheese, and there's bad cheese!")

It is indeed, but probably the best choice I heard. I wouldn't play this every day (as I'm more into techno/electro), but it's a very good mix.



ps : thanks Stimpee for the mac plugin, .ogg files are ok EXCEPT itunes is only playing them on my G4 loudspeakers (which are shite) & is not playing it on remote loudspeakers via an airport wireless connexion (like I mostly use itunes)

It is the very sonic palate that this type of house uses. I think maybe because it's from much older equipment. The kicks, hats, snares and synths all sound very 80s to me. The r&b style singing men and women really puts the cheeze factor over the edge. It's not that I dislike singing over house tracks, just this kind. The singing along with the sonic palate used, sounds corny to me. There are a few tracks in the mix that don't sound like this so much, but most do.

Aren't some of the tracks from the 80s though?
