Dance Mania

  / labels (D)
Profile:A CHICAGO label that was founded by Jesse Saunders in 1985. Jesse conveyed Dance Mania in 1986 to Raymond Barney when he left for Los Angeles. Label became known for raw, percussive TRACKS from the very beginning. Early hits included Lil' Louis' 'Video Clash', 'How I Feel' , 'War Games' , '7 Ways' by Hercules, and perhaps the most known classic, 'Housenation' by House Master Boyz And The Rude Boy Of House, The in 1986. Ray's own company; Barney's records distributed many of the early Chi-labels, like G Strings, Chicago Underground, Warehouse Records (2), etc.. In the period of 1992/93 Dance Mania began to release records from new the breed of Chicago artists, namely from the likes of: DJ Funk, Paul Johnson, Eric Martin, Traxmen, Parris Mitchell, DJ Deeon, DJ Milton and so on... Label returned to it's roots, to the dirty side of Disco that was always very popular in Chicago. In few years DM released somewhat 200 records, making the matrix number rise close to DM300. At the moment (feb-2001), there hasn't been much activity from the label. Future will show whether more releases can be expected...

stfdnx, Mar 10, 2004

The legend says that all of these guys were just having fun doing low-fi tracks in their basements with 909. Then it became hot in Europe for Armani. Most of the first time producers have been amazed to learn that DM was cult in europe, and pissed of when Armani told them that their music was played there as techno ! Initially the "Chicago Trax" are Dj tools made to be mixed with vocal garage records or accapellas...
