S.K.O.Chicago will be a new release series highlighting the amazing cross section of talented producers currently involved in the Chicago dance music scene. We are starting with two of the hottest young names - Ben Brown and Nick Stoynoff, and have included some bonus mixes of track from label heads Kris B & Nosmo. Ben's contribution to this release is "Tuesday Night Heroes", is a trippy, dark grooving tech house/prog track, simple chunky chord driven melody, deep funky bass, blippy beats and big dynamic effects. Ben has had recent success on Blackhole Recordings, was a recent guest on Tiesto's ClubLife radio show, and has his first mix compilation due out soon. Nick's contribution is "Kings of Dirty Gold", which has already been featured on Pete Tong's Fast Trax show. It starts deep and lush, simple melodic elements build smoothly, into sparse techy beats. It's atmospheric, but still danceable, a little classic UK house, a little progressive and a little tech.
Remixes on "Tuesday Night Heroes" from Yura Popov (recently featured on Nick Warren's GU35), The Flyers, Deep Future (Uruguay) and Camilo (Argentina), who both have upcoming releases on Nightshade. Remixes on "Kings of Dirty Gold" come from Mike Kiraly (Definitive Recordings) who gave us a slammin club mix and a beautiful ambient mix, and Stacey Shergold (Houston, TX), who gave us a very deep, lush techy house mix. We've also included a bonus track in this release, Nick Stoynoff's remix of Nosmo v Kris B "One for the Road 2008", a stomping melodic interpretation, Nick used the vocals over a different harmonic, with a tribal deep bell percussion line, big dirty bass & synths, very dynamic, big room, peak time. Also on this package, Nosmo v Kris B 'Ostrich' (Paul Loraine's Head in the Sand mix), an incredibly well produced, tripped out, techy minimal pumpin remix, treat yourself and blast this mix on some really good speakers.
