I've long been obsessed with 80s music and especially have a sweet spot for the era around my birth year of 1982. As well as listening back to the old recordings from clubs, like the Muzic Box, Power Plant and Warehouse in Chicago, I have always especially loved the Hot Mix 5 shows on Chicago radio station WBMX.

Starting in 1981 the shows ran alongside the advent and development of house music and saw the DJs develop a high-energy style of playing short sections and edits of club hits of the day. They'd create hour-long mixes on reel-to-reel and deliver them to the station and these mixes became famous throughout the world.

So here I present three, hour-long mixes and set the year as 1984. So it is a collection of pre and proto-house. 1984 was when the first true Chicago house productions began to be released. These are tracks that influenced the formation of house and were important in the clubs and on the radio in Chicago in these formative years.

62 tracks over 180 minutes that took me 6 weeks to edit and 38 years to find and collect.

I've tagged every track with some notes in the comments because when the show was live I was already getting ID requests and when I tried to make a Spotify playlist for a friend using some of these tunes a load of them didn't show up so I guess Shazam might have a few problems also. Plus it's fun to tell some stories of the records and add context and make connections for those of us who aren't super nerds.
