Collecting records & spinning the black wax since the 80’s, Chris has been part of the music scene in one way or another for a long time. An avid Italo House & Disco fan, with a little bit of Techno thrown in there. A serious vinyl junkie!
Through the 90’s & up until this present day, Biskit was, and still is renowned for his passion for the House sound of Italy & his vast knowledge of the sound. He is the creator of the group – Italo House Aficionados.
Since the 90’s Biskit has been found playing at numerous events & establishments, entertaining people with either the Old School House & Techno sound, or the Funky Disco Beats. At one time in Chris’ life, he presented & played as a weekly FM Radio DJ at 102.8 Chorley FM, presenting several different shows over the years, alongside his partner in crime Monsieur Steve RH.
Still obsessed with music and records, Biskit can either be found deep in a pile of wax, or rotating the black matter on a platter to anybody who still enjoys dancing to proper music!
Check Biskit out on Sure Sounds Radio spinning House and Disco and regularly telling people to “Stay Frosty!”

Nice and essential Deep House from Canada - Head straight for the 'Spiritual Dub' mix of Freedom, as played by Stu Allan and Judge Jules back in 1991. I spent from 1991 searching out this Deep House classic, asking folk who it was to no avail. I... See full review

Nice track. My favourite mix is the 'Lisa B vs. Cleveland City Shining Mix' which only featured on the UK FFRR promo (FXXDJ 226).The track ‘You And Me’ has had several reincarnations, so I’ll try and clear up any confusion. Here goes..

Terrence Parkers Emotionally Deep Remix of 'Emotional Content' is one of my favourite Deep House tracks. I first heard this dropped back in 1995 by Norman Jay (need I say more) and wanted the record there and then. It took me a few years to find out... See full review

1988 Italo Disco cover version of the 1979 Canadian Disco classic by Domenic Troiano "We All Need Love". 'Troiano ‎– We All Need Love' is in my opinion the best of the two, especially with the wicked keyboard playing and the Roy Kenner vocal. This... See full review

Basically, 'Makes You Blind' by the Koxo Club Band is a cut and paste funky Italo house classic that borrows heavily from the 1975 Disco jam 'The Glitter Band - Makes You Blind', laid over a beat with added samples, including Michael Jacksons... See full review

Italo House producers in the early 90s had a real knack for clever combos, and D-Rails "Bring It On Down" is another fine example. In fact if it wasn't for the inclusion of the killer keyboard melody from the 1975 Philly sound instrumental "K-jee" by... See full review

Topnotch Italo House track from 1990 that was only played by a select few DJs, and was pretty hard to find during the 90s, until the internet popped up. The track itself plods along nicely at a steady tempo, and contains two excellent vocal samples.... See full review

Excellent rare piece of wax, and very sought after. Moodymann at his best (in my opinion) with his A-side deep house track 'The Day We Lost The Soul / Tribute' containing some brilliantly constructed Marvin Gaye samples i.e. "Whats Goin On" sampled... See full review
Bushbaby - For Real
posted a comment on Bushbaby - For Real. over 12 years ago
Nice track from 1999. I bought this on its release due to the cheeky sample that rules the track throughout. 'For Real' samples the Italo hit "Take Me To The Top" by Advance from 1982 to good effect.

For the trainspotters: The rap is sampled from the 1990 Italo House track 'Roy The Boy Presents Apachaca – I'm Too Late' on Endless Records, and the female vocal is lifted from the acapella of 'DSK – Kiss Me All Over', also from 1990. All placed... See full review

Novecento is a cover of Kareen Bay. This is a 1993 repress, using the original plates of Kareen Bay - Come To Me (1989 Italy Out Bank Records). Both Novecento & Kareen Bays music are produced by the same people if I remember rightly.

"Psycho" is by far my favourite production from the Psycho Team, an excellent early proto trance tune from 1989. Dreamy, melodic, spacey sounds, capable of putting you in a hypnotic state.

'In my opinion' - this is without doubt Black Box's finest release between 89 and 1991, the 'Melody Mix (GGM 8909)' and the 'Remix [aka] We Got Salsoul Mix (GGM 9010)' are both joyful catchy italo house tracks using all the elements of a fine Italo... See full review
