Chicago, IL -
Well everyone, this will be my last segment of Drama on the Dance floor for a while. I am taking on several new responsibilities that will be requiring more of my time. I will still be submitting reviews on a regular basis to keep my club kids aware of what's cute on the dance scene. Don't think of this as "good bye" but more of a "smell ya later".
Editor's Note: Since Chris Eterno is too humble to make this announcement, the editors of ChicagoPride.com would like to congratulate Chris on his new venture with Billboard Magazine. Chris has been added to the prestigious panel of Billboard club reporters in Chicago. Readers of ChicagoPride.com and BoiMagazine are familiar with Chris' exceptional music column and knowledge of the industry. We wish him the best! You can still hear Chris spin at the all new Pistachio Fridays at Circus Nightclub and Sunday Afternoons (Noon to 6pm) at Felt.
While Chris will continue to provide music reviews, we are pleased to welcome DJ Greg Drescher as the new ChicagoPride.com Music Editor! Greg will continue the popular Drama on the Dance Floor column in addition to DJ Erik's Top 10 and Kii Kii's Scene and Be Seen. We are excited to add Greg's column to the unique local content of ChicagoPride.com.
Welcome Greg and Congrats Chris! Now back to Chris' final column.
First up is Yug & the Soul Providers with "Nobody Knows" on Elan Records. I don't know who YUG is, but her delivery on this house track is groovy and fun. Venus Hum gives us Soul Sloshing on Geffin Records this month with slice and dice by Thick Dick and the Passengers. Frankie J delivers "I Don't Wanna Try" on Sony music with Al B Rich doing the touch up in dub and remix. Curb Records releases Laura Turner's cut "Soul Deep" this month with re-mixes by Progressive Trance heavyweights Dave Aude and Riva. On King Street records we get a treat from the Ananda Project called Can You Find the Heart. Rui Da Silva and Rob Rives hit the deeper mixes on this track. From the files of 'nothing is sacred' comes Nina Simone with "Sinnerman". Yes, it's not a typ-o or a joke…….Felix Da Housecat actually took Nina's live version of this song from 1965 and put his techy House re-mixing over it. The results? - Well, like I said, nothing is sacred anymore.
The HouseKeeperz featuring Ceevox have finally released "Workin'" on Harlquin Records. This is going to be the next club anthem with mixes by Dirty Laundry (Circuit newcomer Allison Calagna & Barry Huffine) and Tribal Tool (Ceevox herself). Check this one out for sure. New on Stereo Records from Spain are Richie Santana's "Drum Control" and Chus's "We Play House". Richie's track is tribal darkness while Chus' track is tribal but with a housy feel to it. While on the Tribal tip, watch for D: Formation's cut "Signs and Portents" on Beatfreek records. BF's Tribal mix is da shit! From the Undergound Sounds of Madrid comes "The Percussive Adventure" by Sergio Fernandez. Very cute and dark for the fisting crowd. Alternative Route Records this month releases "J'Adore" with Peter Bailey and Mike Macaluso Mixes. Anne Nesby delivers the long anticipated hype re-mixes of "Shelter" on It's Time Child records. Boris & Beck deliver a dub that is simply sickening. Pink features William Orbit on her new Columbia release "Fell Good Time" Boris & Beck deliver again on this cut from the Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle soundtrack. Following up "The Wreckoning", Boomkat delivers "What You Do To Me" this month on Dreamworks records. Thick Dick and Strobelite give cute interpretations for the ear pallet. And lastly for the progressive fans, Seroya delivers "Only Your Love" on Shinichi (the Yoshitoshi off-shoot label). Onto Reviews:
