Pumpin Pete takes you back to Chicago's own Infamous Dilligaf's Teen Club!  Dilligaf's defined a generation of teen club heads and exploded onto the club scene with a force that still resonates to this day. "Dillies" as we alumni call it, was intoxicating and was the training ground for the birth of House Music, Break Dancing and DJing. With regulars such as the Culitos, Windy City Breakers, Soul Sonic Breakers, Bonito Boyz and way too many others to mention, it has marked it's place in Chicago house music history. This mix is a compilation of 80's Italo Dance & House music spun by resident DJ Pumpin Pete on ALL VINYL for great listening, enjoy!!

The Hot Mix 5 are an American DJ team originating from Chicago, Illinois, who were chosen by WBMX Program Director, Lee Michaels in 1981. The founding members were Farley "Funkin" Keith (later known as Farley "Jackmaster" Funk), Mickey "Mixin" Oliver, Scott "Smokin" Silz, Ralphi Rosario and Kenny "Jammin" Jason. In 1982, Scott Silz was asked to leave the group and was replaced by Julian "Jumpin" Perez in 1984, as the winner of a HMF sponsored DJ Battle. Another DJ, Jeff Davis, was supposed to be a sixth member, but Silz mentioned in an interview that he never showed up, leaving just the five members.[1]

Created to act as the resident DJs on Chicago FM radio station (now defunct) WBMX's Saturday Night Live Ain't No Jive mix show hosted by Armando Rivera, the members quickly established themselves as a force to be reckoned with. Soon Friday Night Jams, Mini Mixes and specially edited remixes were added. The Chicago house music scene exploded as the Hot Mix 5 show and WBMX became the #1 Radio show in Chicago, by airing a new sound called House Music that was presented by their unique style of turntablism. Mickey Oliver became known by his editing and Turntable skills, and Farley, Ralphi and Kenny each had their own incredible unique styles. Soon the Hot Mix 5 Radio show became known all over the world as their mixes were recorded on cassette tapes and sent across America and aboard. Their Turntable skills together with this new genre broke about every Chicago House Music Record and many Italo Disco track, as Million of listeners in Chicago waited for their weekly mixes. Together, the've became legends as their mixes are still being sold today on the likes of Ebay and other outlets. Many of the Top Djs in the world have recognized the Hot Mix 5 as their mentors, as to setting the bar of what a DJ can be.

The City of Chicago, Illinois recognized the Hot Mix 5 members contribution to the creation of the house music genre and honored them by presenting each member with an individual street named after them and in addition a street named after them as a whole called "Hot Mix 5 Way", which is located in downtown Chicago on the corner of Michigan Avenue and Balbo Drive. 

Today, The Hot Mix 5 members continue to perform globally individually and sometimes as a team.

1980's Chicago House WBMX & WGCI Hits!!

I loved Chicago WBMX Hot Mix Five radio shows, right about the pre-house era (83-86) when they played a lot of Italo Disco. This mix was inspired by the energy and mixing style pioneered by Mickey 'Mixin' Oliver, Kenny 'Jammin'  Jason, Ralphie 'The Raz' Rosario, Farley "Funkin" Keith, and Frankie 'Hollywood' Rodriguez. I played some of my all-time favorite tracks in this show. I hope you'll like it.
