2x12" Deep House / House 8 Cuts From Mr Dunn's BAckj Catalog Inc Monster God MAde Me Phunky Large !
Defected Records welcomes Chicago legend Mike Dunn into the prestigious list of House Masters with this incredible 2 x 12” compilation. Charting Mike’s impressive career that spans over three decades, this collection features classics from Mike’s catalogue alongside newer hits from the Windy City native, while exploring the aliases that made him a hero of the underground like MD X-Spress, MD III and The Jass Man. With his unmistakable voice forming the hook of many of house music’s best loved records, his dynamic use of the spoken word landed him right at the frontier of hip-house. Shifting moods throughout his vast and ranging catalogue, navigating from jacking acid, to classic techno, right through to soulful brooding house and groovy US garage, Mike’s ever-intuitive production makes him a recognised authority on quality dance music.
Mike Dunn is one of the many heroes of the Chicago house scene. He always brings those real raw vibes, a hip hop sensibility and drums that pop. His own vocals often feature to bring some extra attitude and so it is right that he cradled as a Defected House Master on this new collection in the long running series. Mike has a rich collection of classic to his name and many feature here - the chunky goodness of 'God Made Me Phunky', the tight drum programming of 'Jass Yo Azz Off', the sleazy, low-slung funk of his biggest moment 'Phreaky MF.' Add in the blistering acid attack of 'Magic Feet' and you have a vital overview of a house mainstay.
Highlights from the compilation include some of Mike’s best-known hits like dancefloor weapon ‘God Made Me Phunky’, a slice of 90s acidic techno with ‘Magic Feet’ and the gloriously salacious ‘Phreaky MF’. Also exploring the more underground elements of his catalogue like the funk-fuelled ‘Oh Midnight’ and soul-soaked Sub-Urban cut ‘He’s Gonna Make It Alright’, this House Masters compilation represents the depth and breadth of Mike’s colossal catalogue. Whether you’re a dedicated follower of his thirty-year career or dipping your toes into his discography for the first time, this curated selection of his finest moments is the definitive collection.
