We started ‘The Classic Series’ featuring tracks that we love, bought, played out and which we have the feeling more people should know about them. 

For this fourth release, It is a great honor for us to welcome such a living legend, a pioneer from the Chicago house & techno scene : Roy Davis Jr. This project includes three very rare cuts and timeless moments of deep Chicago house. 

On A side : ‘I’m Tha D.J.’, released in 1995 on Kumba Records + ‘Under Tha Sun’, released in 1995 on Downtown 161. On B side : Modal (Woody McBride & David Stevens) ‘Lovers’ remixed by Roy Davis Jr. & Dj Skull. A massive, rare, and very demand track, previously released in 1996 on Sounds (subdivision of Communiqué). Our favorite secret weapons, a real masterpiece of deep tech Chicago sounds. Enjoy !
