Side B.

Wow!! After almost 30 years of holding on to this mixtape of Ron Hardy live @ The Muzic Box, Chicago back in 1984' I finally realized it's time to share this tape with the world. Even though I never made it to the Muzic Box, I can definitely feel Ronnie's spirit come alive as I listen & I'm sure you will feel the same way too!!
I want to thank my brother Jacob Arnold for conducting interviews with Byron Burke & David Britton. I also want to thank Byron & David for their time & sharing their stories with us.
Big ups to Terry Matthew @ 5 Magazine for helping us promote this.
One last shout out to thee awesome Nate Williams for giving me this tape back in 1995'. For those that don't know, Nate is an extraordinary DJ/Producer/Remixer who released Club anthems on DJ Duke's infamous label Power Music & Felix Da Housecat's Clashbackk Recordings just to name a few. Oh wait, I got to thank Roy Davis Jr. for introducing me to Nate & David. So thank you my brother Roy!! Also, artwork courtesy of Mario "Live It Up" Luna of the "Beyond Heaven" book series.
Other than that, throw on your scuba gear as Ronnie takes you on a Chicago Style Deep journey.

God Bless,

COOLEY MACK- Jack the Breaks [CHICAGO HOUSE] 123BPM

Isaac Hayes - I Can't Turn Around (Robby Bergmann Warehouse Dub)

Back in 1977 'First Choice' came out with the track 'Let No Man Put Asunder'. Like many others, Ron Hardy remixed this track into something great. Nicolas Diez did a fantastic job restoring his version, which I again edited slightly for DJ / dancefloor usage. This song has been remixed many many times since its debut, which I absolutely love about bringing old tracks alive again and again.

First Choice -Let No Man Put Asunder (Ron Hardy Beatfix by Nicolas Diez & Jelle from the Block Edit)

Let'z roll back 2 the year of 1983... A year I remember well since it being the yr I graduated High School in South Lorian, (Cleveland) Ohio. But this is what was happening to the left of Cleveland in the city of Chicago. The man here was Ron Hardy, the club was thee Muzic Box. A man who also influenced me as DJ/Re-editor/Remixer/producer. Not to mention a man who played his music with NO RULES as a dj should play no matter what!!
A lot of Deep House classics here & raw beat tracks that later became House Music. 
4 You REAL CHICAGO HOUSE-HEADZ WILL DEFINATELY APPRECIATE!!


Note @ 106:30 in the mix, it goes to a 1985 recording. I left it in there for your listening pleasure... You can't enough of Ronnie ;-)

DJ COOLEY MACK (CRN) helped pioneer Hip-Hop culture in the Midwest and Chicago among others in the Chi-Rock Nation during the mid-1980s to early-1990s. His music career began in 1986 with the arrival of the Ensoniq Mirage keyboard, a revolutionary low-budget sampling device for its time. https://soundcloud.com/mackboogaloo/sets/dj-cooley-mack-old-school-hip


DJ COOLEY MACK was also tapped into the underground House Music scene of the 1980s; not as a “House DJ”… but as a student of the craft. Whether soaking up the DJ sounds of the Hot Mix 5 (WBMX) on the radio, Farley Jackmaster Funk at the Rainbo Roller Center, Lil Louis at Medusa’s or Jamie Lust (3:26) at his basement parties, he never missed a beat. https://chicagoloopsexpress.bandcamp.com/

After a brief encounter with DJ Wayne Williams, he initiated an internship for himself at Jive Records. While interning, he had the pleasure of interacting with Chicago’s finest House Music producers, like Hula & K. Fingers, Mr. Lee, Cajmere, Lidell Townsell, Maurice Joshua and others. 


MACK, since high school, has been deeply engaged in grassroots community empowerment as a youth mentor, case manager and many other roles, serving Chicago, Los Angeles, Compton, Long Beach, St. Paul, Minneapolis, Des Moines, Miami, and other nearby cities.


DJ MACKBOOGALOO was blessed to have encounters with indigenous traditional elders (medicine people) in 2013, which led him on a path to assist their inter-tribal unity efforts. He became greatly inspired by the spiritual teachings of Mad Bear Anderson (Iroquois) & Rolling Thunder (Cherokee), along with Ted Silverhand (Iroquois), leading him to co-author & author books on their legacy.
