Great read! 24 Hour Party People is one of my favorite movies about that time period. I'd seen Stop Making Sense 3 or 4 times after it originally came out, I really want to see this again. How did I space on your CD getting into the NYT time capsule? I've added it to the "Coolest things about Ray" list.
There's a documentary on Chicago's Hip-House scene on Xfinity, FYI.
Recently I found a box of cassettes - some mixtapes that I had not listened to in quite a while, of my (mis)adventures through House Music live sets that I did in clubs and fortunately recorded. Many of my tapes were sold out of the DJ booth after I made 10-15 copies to people who would come to the club and ask for them. I wish I had kept more. I've posted 4 of the most listenable tapes on some of the popular DJ sites. One is from LA in 1992 when I landed in WeHo.
Thank you for reading, Sean. And great tip on the Chi house series. Great to see people digging into the roots. Somebody else just posted a great DJ mixtape archive to Substack. I'll share later.
