Italian pairing Ruff Stuff have been living quite a charmed existence of late. Known individually as Nanni & Francois, this house-loving pair have rocked up on a host of well-renowned labels, including Berlin Bass Collective, Neovinyl, Quality Vibe and King Street Sounds. However, it’s their work on their own label, the aptly names Ruff Stuff Music Ltd, for which they’re arguably best renowned. 
This mix showcases their signature house sound, and also further illustrates what rude health Italian house producers are currently in.... may also have something to do with living in Berlin of course.

The Interstate 55 project kicked off from a friendship between two young French and American students back in ’95, during a warehouse party on the South Side of Chicago. Working as press correspondents for Coda and Trax Magazine between Paris and Chicago for three years, these two helped push the Midwest sound over in Europe. They interviewed some of the biggest legends — Paul Johnson, Derrick Carter, Cajmere, Gemini, Boo Williams, Dance Mania Crew. The duo also hooked up a lot of Chicago DJs with Paris gigs, both public and private, plus slots on major radio stations.

Fast forward 25 years from those legendary parties, Interstate 55 is back in the game, promote the underground once again — mixing current sounds with classic tracks through their Radio Shows and the Lake Shore Drive Series. Deep, funky, bumpy, hard, soulful… House is life. It’s a trip. This SoundCloud page is a tribute to all the friends who’ve lived this story and are still carrying it deep inside.

Play it loud.
