Chicago House is of course already well documented and discussed, and even though I'm a self-confessed Detroit addict, often preferring the cold edge element to that city, I was into Chicago before I was into Detroit. I learned Acid House came from Chicago records, you see, and had a few WBMX tapes and that was enough for me, to get started at least, it's something I've returned to all the time.
It seems WBMX played loads of different stuff. Imports, Hi NRG and more. But it's 80s house music and proto house music I want to concentrate on in this thread.
So I made a top 10 which I'll post below. Hopefully not all the most obvious choices, but please fill in the gaps with more.
1) Alias - Civil Defense (Dub)
2) Jamie Principle - Bad Boy
3) Solo - Girls, Girls (Ah-Ha-Hi)
4) Tyree Ft Chic - I Fear The Night
5) ESP - It's You
6) Raze - Jack The Groove
7) Chip E - If You Only Knew
8) Virgo Four - In a Vision
9) Master C&J - When You Hold Me
10) Jaquarius - Love is Happiness (Acid Rain)
