About the CD:
In homage to Shindig's epic booking of Danny Tenaglia I felt it was fitting to share what is one of the most powerful and dominating mixes of all time. Nothing say's 'I'm untouchable' like no other gone before and probably still holds strong as a contender for that crown today. As a UK clubber mostly my only memory of seeing DT was his flashlight antics at Homelands, Winchester around 1999. Unfortunately that was a little too hazy than I would I liked. So it's with great sadness I'll be missing his upcoming gig at Warehouse 34 in Newcastle. But wish everyone else going a fucking brilliant night.

House music started in Chicago, but what gets lost in history lessons is how it evolved and mutated in New York. None of that would have happened without Todd Terry. Bringing together hip-hop and house with his distinctive drum sounds, Terry not only created a whole subgenre (hip-house—check out Jungle Brothers' 1988 classic "I'll House You") but helped redefine the sound as a whole, bringing it to the mainstream with a string of classic remixes that stretched well into the '90s.

Through his catalogue of records as Hard House, Orange Lemon, Bombshell, Masters At Work (before Louie Vega and Kenny Dope would take that name) and many others, Terry built a discography unlike any other in dance music. Even if you only have a vague idea of who he is, you've definitely heard a record of his, probably ten. (That legendary remix of Everything But The Girl's "Missing?" That's him too.) His sound is loose, punchy and often deliriously catchy, rooted in the ethos of the classic hip-hop he started out playing.

Terry's RA Podcast focuses on a golden era of house from the late '80s to the early '90s, including classic cuts from Marshall Jefferson, Inner City, Crystal Waters and, of course, Terry himself. There's also a modern update from Amine Edge & DANCE. As he says in the interview below, it's a way to "show where house came from." Whether you're a newcomer or have heard these tracks hundreds of times before, there's nothing like hearing them from an innovator of the form.

CHASIN' STUFF

In the darkness of the new moon, when the celestial body completes its cycle and begins anew, we welcome I’m Mady (@immadyofficial) to the Phases collective with his debut EP Schwankschwindel. He offers us a sonic exploration of what it means to sway, oscillate, and find balance within perpetual motion.

Schwankschwindel — German for the sensation of oscillating vertigo, that feeling when the ground beneath you moves in rhythm — becomes a metaphor for the creative process itself. Just as the moon follows its eternal cycle, so too does the groove: repeating, evolving, transforming with each rotation.

I’m Mady’s signature sound is unmistakable. The EP’s two tracks form a perfect duality. The title track “Schwankschwindel” anchors us in that hypnotic sway — percussion patterns and woodwind textures creating a controlled vertigo, a purposeful imbalance that somehow grounds us deeper. Then comes “Sexy” — a harder-edged exploration where slow tech meets tech house attitude. Here, synthesized sound design takes the wheel, building tension through metallic textures and precise, driving rhythms.

The artwork mirrors this cosmic dance perfectly: lunar phases orbit a radiant celestial body, starbursts emanating energy outward while orbital mechanics keep everything in delicate, perpetual motion. It’s a visual representation of what I’m Mady achieves sonically — finding harmony in complexity, stillness in movement, balance in vertigo.

This is music for the space between cycles, for the moment when one rhythm ends and another begins.

We hope you enjoy it as much as we do ⏾.

About the CD:
002 of the Classic Mix CD Series and yet another absolute stand out classic. After getting into house at around 15, I guess my only source of info was Danny Rampling's seminal LGDP (Love Groove Dance Party) Saturday nights on Radio 1. However I can't remember Carter getting much coverage on there, yet he, much like Danny Tenaglia seemed to have a level of legend unlike most. This CD cemented my love of house music with an all might smash in the face. The tempo, the bass, the disco, the filters, and fucked up vocals... this was heavyweight. Nothing could compete at the time. I'll always remember driving to college with my 2 nerdy class mates and insisting they played this CD in the car. I'm raving in the back and they are like "What the fuck is this shit, turn it down!". It's with immense pleasure that DJ's like Sneak and Carter seem to be booking all the massive clubs and parties again. I'm not so keen on the whole 'I'm a House Gangster' vibe... but this is as bad as it gets.
