Time to take a trip back to the Windy City. A firm favourite song from Dave Lee’s highly acclaimed ‘Metamorphosis’ album under his AC Soul Symphony alias. This time we’ve pulled in some heavyweight remixes to refresh things up.

The main man Dave Lee has flipped it musically, but still with reference and reverence to Chicago with a deep jackin’ Chi-Town Tribute Mix, slapping a thick 303 front and centre. Up next is the Windy City legend himself, Glenn Underground, with his irresistibly cosmic take, drawing on his deep jazz-funk knowledge. Finishing up is a man we all know and love here at ZR, Opolopo, allowing the heart of the original to refract through his plethora of boogie-funk synth work & studio wizardry.

SCC556 - Sole Channel Cafe Radio Show Episode 556 with Mr. V & Funky Fable | July 27th 2025

Timmy Regisford, SoulJay - Akekho

For RA.1000, we take it back to the source with two never-before-heard tapes from Frankie Knuckles's private collection

There is no house music without Frankie Knuckles, literally or figuratively. The queer icon's luxurious DJ sets at Chicago's Warehouse gave a rising movement its name. From there, countless offshoots splintered and travelled the globe. But what did the genesis and growth of the sound really feel like?

The Godfather of House left behind not only timeless records, but personalised cassettes with hand-drawn liner notes handed out to friends and family. Two of those, dated to 1989 and 1996, have been digitised especially for RA.1000. (Thank you to the Frankie Knuckles Foundation.)

To put that in context: the first tape predates not only many of today's active clubbers, but the entire existence of jungle, drum & bass, UK garage, French touch, Jersey club, Afrobeats, IDM, baile funk, hardcore, footwork, dubstep, dub techno, tech house, breaks, minimal, maximal, gqom, gabber, grime and hyperpop.

In short… that's a very, very long time ago. The world of dance music was much smaller. DJ culture was functionally unrecognisable from the one we see in 2025. 

And yet, to some degree, what you'll hear on RA.1000 hasn't changed at all. It's a capture of not only what made Frankie Knuckles one of the beloved pioneers of first-generation dance music, but what draws people to club culture in the first place.

The mood on these Frankie Knuckles sets outlasts even its creator: a spirit of optimism that floods the world's best dance floors and keeps dance music pulsing on into the future, nearly 40 years later, in spite of it all. We end our 1000th mix celebrations here because it all starts there.

Raw Essence aka Dave Lee is pulling no punches with his latest dose of Discotheque dopamine. Feeling both familiar yet fresh, it’s all about classic good times here. Nostalgic disco rhythms glisten over Dave’s crisp, driving drums, which form the perfect backbone for the euphoric Moog wizardry to shine. Add in the irresistible vocals commanding you to get down on the dancefloor, and you'll have no choice but to get down down down.

Raw Essence - Down Down Down [SNIPPET]

Este primer episodio de Selecto Sessions nos sumerge en el mundo del Deep House, un viaje profundo y envolvente grabado en vinilo.

Cada track vibra distinto, creando una experiencia donde la aguja marca el pulso de la noche.

F9 Presents Origins - 60 Old School Pianos !
Strictly Limited edition - only 500 Downloads

Welcome to the 1st of the F9 Origin's series and we're starting with a bang - A limited-edition collection of club-ready piano sounds from my own collection.

This started off as a personal sampling project for a piano-house EP that sent me down a rabbit hole I was not expecting. See if any of these questions seem familiar to you: 

	•	Have you ever wondered why people still come back to the M1 piano? 
	•	Have you ever struggled for hours to get modern piano sounds to fit inside a club production? 
	•	Do you wish you had a super-fast loading selection of Pianos that will smash through dense and powerful drums and stop you breaking the creative flow?
These were all questions I was asking myself at the start of making an F9 Piano driven EP called '88 Keys'.
What you see here is the fruits of all that Labour - 60 Pianos designed to work perfectly in contemporary ( or old School) club and pop productions 

	•	This release will be available for only 3 months or 500 downloads, whichever happens first.
	•	These are the piano patches that built club music. From the 8 bit sounds of 1988’s Chicago and Detroit house era to the anthem-creating patches of the 1990s and beyond.
	•	There has never been a collection like this before. Don’t miss this opportunity to have club culture’s love affair with the piano inside your DAW
	•	260 Midi file are included and I'll be honest many of them are so good I'm keen to make tracks out of them myself - I'll race you to Beatport ! 

So why do these work so darn well? ... It's an open production secret that lower bit/sampling rates add thickness and power to sounds. Add to that the analogue input/output stages of early sampling devices ( and the technical imperfections of early A/D converters such as jitter ) and it starts to get interesting...
Now reduce the sample count - notes transposing downwards on 8-12 bit systems have something utterly unique - they fizz and growl much more than our pristine 20 samples per note libraries and that all adds the magic sauce: character

Also I've found so many modern libraries have very odd stereo cohesion and don't fold at all well down to mono ( vital for radio and club play )  - Having mic'd up many a piano in my time engineering across London I know the problems with capturing pianos in full stereo all too well and so often it seems the pianos are captured to appease classically trained players - These are often dreadful in their vanilla form at hammering out club riffs. Listen to the audio demos above - would you believe many of the patches are mono? 


This library started off as my personal mission to get myself an army of pianos for any club necessity possible and I'm very proud to present it to you now for a very limited period. Please let me know how you get on with them and what you make with them ..

Maurizio de Luca began his journey into music in the late 80s on a local radio station in his hometown in Italy. He was immediately struck and fascinated by this world and it was there that his passion for dance music first and then House Music passing through the Underground Music of the early 90s, began and continues to this day!
