    FREAK OUT - Ash &.Dash Chicago
    (Skender Makota & Mel Hammond) Balkanimal Mix 2 2018
    Original track by Ash & Dash, Chicago based DJ's/producers/composers performing a Live Act of all original Chicago Underground true house music.
    Skender Makota and Mel Hammond are not just music partners, but best friends who went through a lot together in life, and shared everything in the process!
    House music in Chicago, to an average local, is basically CHICAGO, the sound of home...
    Unlike elsewhere where people think of house music as "party" music p[played at certain events and then nada till the next weekend!
    Chicago plays house all week long and all over the city there are banging DJ's doing wonders on the decks, because house is in our blood!
    Mel is a legend behind legendary music events, especially underground invite only parties which shaped the house music scene from the basements of Chicago South Side parties, to some fo the biggest and most important events and festivals worldwide, he played an essential role in the history of the genre which quickly took over the world and never faded, as other genres came and went in the meantime...
    Today we refer to that sound as HOUSE MUSIC, but it all stetted right in backstreets and shady locations all across the original party capital of the world - CHICAGO!
    Househeads never stop dancing, and spreading love, and you could often see an 80-year old grandma holding her 2 year grandson and dancing just as everyone else and having a good time in the middle of a work day in some random spot, just because...
    House music was creating a unique phenomena in an otherwise segregated city of hard working folks battling cold, snow blizzards and crime just to get by...so having some fun with like minded people, who were of all races, genders, nationalities etc, safe areas where hatred and tough life was left at the doorstep... only love for each other and music was needed, and that is what they got!
    MEL HAMMOND is behind many of such historical events and helped keep the scene alive when it was tough , as well as extremely talented musician and producer, and of course - DJ like no other..
    This is version 2 of an upcoming EP coming out soon containing a shorter version, but also 16min MONSTER that is BEYOND slutty, a gang bang of beats, Moog solos and bases and of course, Mel telling us how it is in 'real world Chicago" :)
    More on Ash & Dash, including tour dates and locations coming up! This EP is just one of the few unreleased future classics that we are eager to share very soon!

  • ALL IN 4 DA EPIC WIN - 2025 Mix - Skender Makota daBalkanimal V3
    ALL IN 4 DA EPIC WIN 2025
    Slava Ukraini!!! 2025!!!
    ------------------------
    SKENDER MAKOTA daBalkanimal MIX 1 of V3
    Original track dating from the early 2000's, never released,, until NOW ;).
    -----------
    Originally made in early 2000's when we started using DAW on a more regular basis and with more confidence, namely Reason and Protools instead of analog gear... since we stopped dealing with studio time, zeroing the SSL 4000 series console, counting and checking all the mics in the mic cabinet, and all of the cables... we simply used royalty free samples we found online in sample database and moved on!
    Besides, who doesn't like Sean Connery??

    Tha MESSAGE - V3 -daBalkanimal & ABICAH SOUL PROJECT Chicago 2024 ALT Mix
    second mixdown with variations on the first "GOING INSANE" versions of the song
    For a few years back in 2000's I've had the pleasure and honor to share an apt and studio on Taylor St. in Little Italy hood of Near South Side Chicago, with a talented and totally underrated Chicago gem, yet well known throughout the industry and even more respected as a unique producer of real house music, DJ STAX aka Abicah Soul Project!
    AbicahSoul Recordings is a record label founded in 1999 and operated by DJ and electronic music producer AbicahSoul.
    Based in Chicago,Illinois,AbicahSoul is a division of the Lavish Electronic Ltd Music GmbH.
    Abicah founded Abicah Soul Recordings in order to open a new dance platform as a supporting tool for young artists in Electronic Music..
    DJ Stax (aka Abicah Soul ) grew up in Chicago during the days of the Warehouse and Muzic Box, and his deejay sets and production—like those of friends Glenn Underground, Boo Williams, Paul Johnson, and Gene Hunt—are heavily influenced by the pioneering work of Frankie Knuckles and Ron Hardy. He began deejaying in 1983, when he was only 12 years old, and has been a staple in the Chi-town rave and club scene ever since, holding residencies at Smartbar, Club4, and Ohm and doing weekly radio gigs for WNUR 89.3 and prepartyradio.com.
    As a producer, Stax has landed releases on Classic, Jellybean, Nite Life Collective, Rush Hour, Wha? Roots, and several other labels. An in-demand remixer, he has given tracks by Telepopmusik, Osunlade, Glenn Underground, and No Assembly Required (Dan X and Justin Long) the “Abicah” treatment. His signature soulful, deeply-rooted yet edgy afro-latin sound—evidenced by recent tracks such as “Musique de Ve” (Eargasmic)
    Being roommates and living together, we made house music from the early mornings to late nights and did a lot of cool recordings which I never had a chance to finish..
    Here are some releases that were really never put out or we just did not have a chance to promote them, but we will soon!
