Official 2018 reissue. Club Style is the pseudonym used by 2 all-time Chicago legends, a truly all-star line up on this record, that s right, the pairing of Paul Johnson and Robert Armani. Say no more really.
Crazy Wild is a 4 tracker of infectious, grooved out, jacking and tough house jams, both producers fingerprints are all over this one. Narcotic, driving drum machines, phased out loops, armour piercing claps and basement trembling basslines are all over this EP, originally released in 1994.
This one s a bit of a cult release from DM, collectors and freaks rating it highly. As usual it s a tough one to try and track down, changing hands for some hard earned cash too. This is the first time Crazy Wild has ever been reissued in full, just as it was originally released in 1994, complete with original Dance Mania label artwork. 100% legit, reissued in conjunction with Dance Mania records, Chicago IL and Parris Mitchell. Don t sleep.
Chicago label, founded by Jesse Saunders in 1985. Started off as Dance Mania Records before later (in 1988) changing name to just Dance Mania and later still to Dance Mania Inc. Jesse conveyed Dance Mania in 1986 to Raymond Barney when he left for Los Angeles.
The label became known for raw, percussive tracks from the very beginning. Early hits included Lil' Louis "Video Clash", "How I Feel", "War Games", "7 Ways" by Hercules, and perhaps the most known classic, "Housenation" by The Housemaster Boyz in 1986. Ray's own company, Barney's Records, distributed many of the early Chi-labels, like G Strings, Chicago Underground, Warehouse Records (2), etc.
In the period of 1992-1993 Dance Mania began to release records from new the breed of Chicago artists, namely from the likes of: DJ Funk, Paul Johnson, Eric Martin, Traxmen, Parris Mitchell, DJ Deeon, DJ Milton and more. Label returned to it's roots, to the dirty side of disco that was always very popular in Chicago. In few years it released around 200 records, making the matrix number rise close to "DM300".
