Get ready for five electrifying tracks that will keep you moving and jukin'.
Authentic Footwork and Juke styles, direct from the birthplace of the genre, by Chicagos own DJ.MC.

A producer and DJ from the Low End projects, that found his passion for music and dance during childhood at the Bud Billiken parade. He joined the South Shore Drill dance team, grooving to ghetto house beats. Inspired by Gant-Man's juke and ghetto house tape in '98, he began producing with DJ ROC and EQ-Why during high school. His international debut was in 2010 on Planet Mu's Bangs and Works comp. After a 5-year hiatus, DJ Spinn encouraged his return in 2022 and has now teamed up with us Former City Records in 2023 to bring you this 5 Track EP.

This EP pays tribute to the late and legendary DJ Deeon with a special feature that showcases his iconic sound, ensuring his legacy lives on through the music.

Mastering: Maltin Worf

SamOne seamlessly picks up where his first EP left off and starts another chapter filled with broken and cheeky sounds! “Breakz N Harmony Pt. 2” is a 4 track heavy record carefully pressed, handmade packed and sprayed. Just like the first one, the sample-oriented intuitive style prevails, spanning across Breaks and Electro. Bold and rough drums, harmonized with organic basslines and iconic vocals, dominate both sides A and B. 

Tune in, Shake Well!

DJ TWI$T II - DIRTY RULES (TAPE)

https://gutterloops.bandcamp.com/album/night-train-ep
The "NIGHT TRAIN EP" marks the start of our collab. Since we linked up, we've been producing, spinning tracks, and sharing our love to all sorts of breaks and Bass music. Metronone got a production background influenced by Electro and
American bass, Dimosoundz more influenced by jungle, bass and British rave culture. On this EP, It's all about blending our backgrounds and finding the sweet spot. It's a groove focused EP influenced by the early days of UK Rave culture, featuring smooth pads, banging kicks, and Amen break, along with hints of Miami Bass and early Baile Funk.

Load To Unload

Marchesa Casati is the midnight apparition, the priestess of funk - she is the lady octopus with the seductive looks. Aboard her Milanese galleon, Casati commands the waves dressed perfectly nude beneath a fur cloak, guarded by three-tailed panthers on diamond-studded leashes. Accompanied by her merry band of disco buccaneers, the Mega Buff Squad sail the seven seas smuggling synthesisers by day and recording dope beats by night. This album is the sonic story of that famous voyage. Created multifariously with ill intent - Mega Buff represent.

Hang & Otto - Triff Mich [Mega Buff] [PREMIERE]

https://formercity.bandcamp.com/album/soul-fi-ii
Milch is Germany’s chillest producer, and his jumpshot is definitely clean. You can hear it in his productions—shaped by smooth jazz, the movie Coming to America, and your favorite rap classic. Like its predecessor, Soul-Fi II aims to be a lovingly crafted, detail-rich tape that you can vibe to from start to finish.

MiLch - Soul Food (SOUL-FI II)

https://djjtwist617.bandcamp.com/album/inner-city-pressure

DJ Twist II’s raw, nihilistic sound isn’t just a tribute to '90s Hip-Hop, it’s his reality. The producer from Ukraine, the dnipro region, has lived through chaos, and titles like Ashes of War and Cold World aren’t just wordplay. With over 20 releases, he’s a force in the underground. As a Doomshop and Sixset member, he brings dark, lo-fi energy. Inter City Pressure, his third Former City drop, delivers Wu-Tang-level grit and heavyweight collabs.

DJ TWI$T II - ASHES OF WAR

This time with another hell of a set by the one and only UNFUG ABLA @unfugabla from Hamburg, Germany. She impresses with a great taste in music and a strong sense for everything with funk and groove. This mix of bass music, new funk, phonk, and breaks showcases just how much talent Hamburg has to offer.

There’s definitely an art to making dance music faster than 135 BPM sound smooth and Mogan clearly knows the formula.
