This was a ground-breaking track in Chicago for the early house music industry. I remember waiting in line for hours and paying up to $15 to get into a Lil' Louis party just to hear it!!! This was and always will be an EARLY HOUSE CLASSIC"!!!

When it comes to the history of electronic music some people always tend to rant about the same Detroit releases and the way they inspired people. Everybody knows that by now, it's all part of common knowledge as a matter of speaking. But if you are a discerning music lover, you just know that there are some blanks to be filled in that history.

This true '87 Chicago classic seems to be a bit overlooked in my opinion. 'Frequency' blows your mind and gets the usual merits, but 'How I Feel' always seems to be the forgotten B-side. Incredible house track: Lil' Louis managed to put some real emotion in this ultra charming sensual cut. It's as if he succeeded to put what he felt on this record. Two decades later it still sounds not-dated and amazingly fresh. 'How I Feel' still outdoes 99,99% of the records that are released nowadays. Deep, warm, soulful, timeless.

"Frequency" is one of these early house tracks which became a really great classic. This sound was absolutely crazy at this time.
