Song of the Day: Sanctuary – My Sanctuary / Penetrate / Seduction

So by the late 80s, just having your name on records wasn’t good enough, you had to have your own label – or two?
I assumed this was Jamie Principle’s label, but then I remembered that DJ World seemed to be his label – and Discogs says that Echotron is a sublabel of DJ World. Why someone needs a sublabel on their own label – I don’t know. Somewhere in there is the reason that the Chicago scene collapsed in the 90s, but I’m starting to ramble.

Song of the Day: The Fascination – The Flight / Serious

Do I take requests? It turns out I do!
Another Youtube house fiend, ChicagoJackinSociety wanted this tune – and I just happened to have it ready. Well, actually I have almost 800 videos ready – so make a request and I’ll put it at the top of the list if I have it.

The Flight is (I think…I’m pretty sure) a remix of a song previously credited to Andre Wade – ‘The Flight Of Jacking Your Body’. The remix sounds like they listened to the big hit This Is Acid by Maurice and said ‘yeah – lets make it sound just like that.’
And Serious is….some forgettable track. Play House Records put out a few classics in their time like Denise Motto’s IMNXTC, but they mostly put out junk.

Side note: Play House Records would give their A and B sides different catalog numbers – so PHR-432 is the A side and PHR-632 is the B side.
