Steve "Silk" Hurley Nov 10, 2003
Steve Silk Hurley produced hits, and that ain't no shit. If anyone asked me what house music is, I'd hand them a stack of Hurley discs.
DJ Deeon - DBG Project Nov 01, 2003
This release is a bit of a mystery. It is certainly one of Deeon's best releases and would have been destined for greatness. Unfortunately there are 8 tracks crammed into an EP-lenth release, with each track lasting just a couple minutes. I don't know why this didn't deserve a double pack. Each track is excellent.
Not only does this EP have one of the best titles ever, it appears to have been somewhat of an inside joke amongst the Wisconsin and Chicago crews.

By the time of this release, Drop Bass and it's home turf, Milwaukee, had established a reputation for releasing the hardest acid in America at the time. With this release, I think Hyperactive may have been reminding the kids in Milwaukee not to 'fuck with Chicago' -- I.E, "Don't get too cocky."
Very popular in Johnson's native Chicago at the time of release, this LP's various 'Kong' tracks are composed of samples from the classic video game. The remaining 3 tracks are solid minimal techno excursions.

He once said in an interview that he was never paid for this project. He didn't sound too happy about that. :-)
'He Never Lost His Hardcore' is an absolutely hilarious piece of music. Hasn't aged well. Guaranteed to make you giggle, or cringe in horror, depending on whether or not your able to laugh at your former self. Kinda like straight-laced yuppies flipping through yesterday's tie-dyed, bellbottom photos.
This LP should have been called "The Many Sides Of Me". Paul puts everything on display here; house anthems, ghetto tracks, stompin minimal techno, and deep, soulful grooves. PJ at his peak.
Jackin minimal techno, much like Dan Bell, only jazzier with nice breakdowns. A forgotten Chicago classic.

Produced by Matthew Bushwacka, of Layo & Bushwacka fame, these two tracks don't fit easily into any genre classification. Both tracks contain gorgeous melodic, jazzy synthlines wrapped around industrial percussion with some deep-house elements.

An undiscovered classic.
Although this set contains what is likely the best collection ever of house music, the songs are truncated to about half their original length. Buyer beware.
Gorgeous, gorgeous drum n bass chewn. Ingredients include ethereal strings, haunting piano, and stompin drums. A classic.
