ariesgirl73 This brings me back to 1985 and 12 years old me standing on a step of Javier's house on 84th and Brandon (Bush Neighborhood on South East side of Chi Town) with Gus and Duwella when a car drives by playing house music. Gus and Duwella both started Jackn it up!...I was mesmerized....1 hour later, practicing my Jack dance moves in my bedroom...lol. It was all house for me from that moment on :) Favorite track: Jack Your Ass Off.

about

Mark Grusane’s latest offering, A House of My Own is a testament to his long-standing discipleship to the craft of producing hard-hitting house tracks with authenticity and depth. The title-bearing opener on A1 strongly demonstrates this notion with a slew of raw bass stabs and emotive pads leading through a battery of driven percussion in a manner that calls to mind those early 90’s Mr. Fingers records. While A2’s Essence of Life (Afterhours Mix) takes us further into the darkness with a spiraling timber of percussions lain over distorted vocal arrangements, the “Daytime Mix” of A3 builds on the momentum of its predecessor with a robust uplifting synth lead and sounds of atmospheric ambiance added to the mixture, effectively taking the composition to an entirely new level. B1 kicks off punching and swinging with the track Knock knock, Who’s there?, a ferocious gut-puncher of a track that sees classic Chicago “beat-track” style 909 arrangements lay over an intense saturated 303 bassline that relentlessly worms its way throughout the mix with a booming urgency. B2 sees a turn for the naughty on the track Love And Lust with a xxx-rated vocal line slithering its way through the track, sandwiched in between high-pitched keys and a slinky drumline. Finally, Jack Your Ass Off closes out the album and ties it all together on B3 showcasing the full-fledged insanity of the classic trademark Chicago “jack” style that sees the title of the track frantically screamed over and over though a sampler amid hard hitting drums and 303s engineered to make you dance like a freak. A serious ‘must have’ for any selector or music enthusiast. - Words by Stephen Hoffman
