Driving house beats teamed with deep dreamy synth lines represent what Chicago looks like from the deep end of the pool. Side A I Think Dreamy excursion full of ambient pads with slickly produced intricate percussion. Laid back vocals and deeply layered melodies and the like take this one so deep, you’ll be gasping for air . . The Park Rolling hollow bass line with crisp high hats taking house to the park. Perfect for a daytime picnic, relaxation, a groove for the sunshine. Side B Peaceful Thinking Chill but hard. Deep beats lay the foundation while shimmering synths put the roof on it. 2:00 Minimal deep track from Mr. Harden. A funky bass line and warped melody sliding into the techy side of house. Side C Live in Chicago Hard beats with ambient tones. This track will take the 6 a.m. crowd to a dancing frenzy. Happy Days Happy Melodies and rolling beat, something the deep jacker can appreciate. Not tracks for yo’ ass, but tracks for yo’ jack. Side D Chill Mode Minimal down tempo house. Take it to the lounge, get a drink, listen and chill. Chill mode is right. It is All From My Baby Deep groove with smooth piano and synth lines overlayed by a soulful vocal sent to you from the disco department for a disco daze.   NLC011 - Instinctive Funk - (Vinyl EP) Instinctive Funk by Brian Harden Nite Life Collective issues a Brian Harden four tracker that goes from your heart straight to your groove side. If you are a fan of house or if you are fan of disco, there is no reason why this shouldn’t be in your crate. Lucious overtones and subtle vocals are manipulated in the perfect way… Side A Ebonical Funk A deep disco groove with that beautiful funk guitar. However, let’s not forget the moogy subtleness which takes this track even deeper. Techy bass for flavor completes the track for an all deep disco experience. Soul Mother Straight up deep house. Artificial bass tones complement a revival of the deeper kind of jam. Voyagesque type piano and just the right vocal do nothing but right to this track.. Untouchable. Side B Hidden Groove Bass heavy line takes you deep while congas and snaps uplift your feet into a deeper sense of what Jack had in mind. Moogy synths add the spiritual touch. Definitely a track for the soulful feet on the floor. Soul Sister A subtle vocal is toned up and down while following a straight house beat. The result? A groove stable. Don’t be alarmed, though. Soothing synths will leave you in awe. Once again - Chicago’s NLC on the smooth.   ????? - This is My Music   Miscellaneous ????? - GU Presents The S.J.U.
