SUARA SHOWROOM 14

This is a fantastic sample of tracks from the record label Suara (free download if you like this page). A couple names that must be recognized off this colection of tracks, obviously Jon Rundell's - Tip Top (Original Mix) & Danny Serrano, Hector Couto - You Crazy (Original Mix) . Also, check out the beatport page for the record label Suara it has a few good deep house tunes.

TONITE ONLY (NICKY ROMERO REMIX)

Nicky Romero has been making quite the splash in the electronic house scene and this track is medium well remix from himself. He also has another single out that has been getting a lot of heat on the blogs named Toulouse (Oiginal Mix). But, this track named Hater gonna hate (Nicky Romero Remix) from Tonite Only is not a bad electro house track.


TOMMIE SUNSHINE & DISCO FRIES

A guy that has been played on The Chicago House Loop many times, Tommie Sunshine. If you like electro house it's hard to get around this guy and Disco Fries for that matter. Throughly enjoy this track Don't Look Back (Original Mix) and Vicious Records has some alright electro releases. Newest mash up should be up sometime tomorrow and check out other mash ups here.

FELIX CARTAL FEAT. POLINA

F***ing hot! This is not a track that has been over done, which I love! So many tracks now a day are way to heavy on the electro side. I love those track that are borderline edge electro and house for example check out these two tracks Laidback Luke, Nouveau Yorrican, Gina Turner - Chiuso (Original Mix) & Nalin & Kane - Beachball (Chris Lake Remix). What I am kinda trying to say is sometimes not over doing it is a good thing and Felix Cartal does a great job of proving this. Check it out Felix Cartal ft. Polina - Don't Turn On The Lights (Original Mix). Great stuff on Dim Mak Records.

SERGE DEVANT (DAVID TORT REMIX)

F***ing hot, so, so f***ing hot!! David Tort F***ing kills it on this one!! Tracks like this (On Your Own feat. Coyle Girelli - David Tort Remix) are encouraging me to make a new progressive house mix. This track is defiantly putting a smile on my face and I will be on the look out for more music from DT. Ultra Record bumps popier tracks, but sometime great tracks! Other mixes of this track from Serge Devant, Thomas Sagstad & Mike Hawkins Remix & Stephan Luke Remix.

HATIRAS, WILL BAILEY, NOM DE STRIP

This cover is straight up balling, but the track is even better! Techno? mostly. Is it electro? maybe a bit? Minimal? kinda. House? not really... This brand spanking new collaboration by knob-tweaking wizards Hatiras, Nom De Strip and Will Bailey is dripping with so much in-your-face-cockiness that it could only be knighted with the appropriate name... SWAGNUM P.I. ;) Trust me. The Hatrax Records crew knows what's up. Play this shit loud. It mixes over every tune and will create the rising, moistening effect your looking for. Do it. You know you want to...


KASKADE (TURN IT DOWN REMIXES)

Here is a bomb ass release of course from one of Kaskade tracks on his newest album Fire & Ice released to Ultra Records. Every Remix of this track is prime stuff from artist, Deniz Koyu, Nause, LCV, and Carli. One of the tracks I have taken a strong liking too off this EP is Deniz Koyu's Remix & LCV's Remix, so hot want to touch the hinny!!


The Chicago House Loop ON AIR-RADIO SET

The newest radio set episode 6 is up on the TCHL Soundcloud. There will be another pre-recorded show for this Saturday, 8-10PM. Hope everyones winter break is going well! I am working on some music at the moment. Follow these link for more details on myself at DJ Jack, The Chicago House Loop, and my DJ Soundcloud, as well as TCHL Radio Show Soundcloud.

TCHL CLASSIC TRACK: DAFT PUNK

Here is this weeks classic track given to one of the largest group in electronic music, could have possible started it all for the large demand of house music today. It is Daft Punk track called Revolution 909 off the 1997 released album, Homework. Follow this radio show at The Chicago House Loop and DJ Just Jack.


ESSENTIAL TRACK PART 1: SKRILLEX REMIX

Both artist could be questionable for being the largest electronic talent/acts at the moment. In my opinion, there music is just OK. But, this track is absolutely amazing! Skrillex does a fantastic job remixing Avicii huge Progressive House BOMB called Levels! Skrillex has been nominated for a Grammy?? WHAT??? Here is the link from MTV News.

ESSENTIAL TRACK PART 2: FELGUK & DIRTYLOUD

Here is the second essential track for this weeks show. Last weekend I played Felguk's newer track by the name of Bassive (Original Mix). This weeks newest release has them pairing up with another set of brazilian producers by the name of Dirtyloud. The tracks name is Nudge (Original Mix) it is incredibly heavy, which needs the essential status for this weeks show! Check it out and follow the show at The Chicago House Loop!

THE CHICAGO HOUSE LOOP ON AIR-RADIO

Get caught up on past shows of The Chicago House Loop. I am hoping to have this weeks show posted some time with-in tonight and tomorrow. Also, check out this link for more frequently updates, DJ Jack. Just a heads up The UIC Radio Station is closed for this winter break, therefore the shows will be recorded in my studio at home. The shows will be posted around the time of regular show Saturdays 8-10PM.

PHIL KIERAN

I feel as if this album is life changing, and it will certainly get you think about the day to day. Phil Kieran has some all-star remixes from the likes of Jaime Jones, Jesper Dahlback, and Egbert, also the featured artist Green Velvet. This whole album is amazing in my opinion. A couple of tracks that must be listen to are Le Carroussel (Hardvsion Mix) and the tech house masterpiece Juicy (Egbert Mix).


The Chicago House Loops newest show will be up some time tomorrow, so sorry for the lateness of the shows post.

BINGO PLAYERS

This one is really starting to grow on me. The first time I heard this track named Mode (Original Mix) it was a huge question mark? Give this some time or none at all I'm sure plenty you will instantly love this track from Bingo Players.


ANGGER DIMAS

Check out this record label for all your electro house needs, MixMash records. The label that is ran and owned by Laidback Luke claims that they refuse to be pinned to one genre. But, it is safe to say you are only going to hear Progressive or Electro tracks with a long list of top producers. Such names, as Tiesto, A-trak, Steve Aoki, Steve Angello, Afrojack, Sidney Samson, Tocadisco, Avicii are all part of Mixmash’ impressive catalogue. Let's add Angger Dimas to the list with this heavy weight electro contender. Defiantly drop it in your next set it is for sure bound to blow minds!

SOME WINTER MELLOW MIXES

Winter is here and snow is just around the bend in Chicago. Here are three mixes that I posted last year around this time. Non of the music falls under the category of electronic dance, but I am sure some may prefer this music played. If you like what you here follow TCHL FB and DJ JACK FB.

ESSENTIAL TRACK PART 1: KASKADE FREE TRACK

Another weekend of great house music, calls for another FREE essential track. Yes, each Monday Kaskade post a brand new track usually mashup. This week he posted two track saying this on his facebook account, "It's Tuesday here in Sydney BUT it still feels like Monday." Thanks for the great music!!! Once again if you missed this weeks show it is posted on the TCHL Soundcloud, Peace!!! Check out both tracks below!


TCHL CLASSIC: ALEX GUERRERO

If you do not like this track then you do not like house music. Alex Guerrero is a wonderful producer and I think this selected track for this weeks classic was spot on. Everything about this track from the kick to the vocal is golden! Check out his Soundcloud account here and the track here. If you missed this weeks show check it out on the TCHL Soundcloud. Released on Caresse Records on February of 2010.

&ME

Have been following &ME for quite a while now and the guy is dropping some awesome music. Here is is his latest release purple rain on Keinemusik. The TCHL Show tonight will be questionable, but regardless of whether or not I make it in tonight. A mix will be posted some time this evening check the blog later. Here is last weeks essential mix on the TCHL SoundCloud.


CARL NUNES FEAT. ALEX FROST

Just a couple great progressive house tracks! Carl Nenes, another not so discovered artist/producer just recently released this EP on record label New School Recordings. Definitely stay on the look out for this kid and check out these two tracks Sun Down and Thunder Bringer.


SOLOMUN FEAT. 2PAC

Sheer creativity! Love this track from producer/artist, "Solomun" with a fantastic sampling of 2pac's vocals laid over a sick house beat. This needed to be posted so check this deep house bomb out here. Great stuff on record label, "Supernature".


Tuesday, November 29, 2011

RIVA STARR / FATBOY SLIM FEAT. BEADYMAN

I am a huge fan of Jon Rundell, which he shares by far the best mix on this release with Carl Cox. It is Riva Starr's Get Naked release feat. Beardyman. If you like house music Snatch! Records is where it is at!! Oh I forgot, Fatboy Slim!


Monday, November 28, 2011

ESSENTIAL TRACK PART 1: AXWELL

This weeks essential track it is kinda hard to get around when it goes straight to the top on beatport. Love Axwell and The Swedish House Mafia, but they are a bit overly hyped! All the same this track is the F***ing bomb!! Also, check out this weeks radio show posted here, which has this track in it. If you like the radio show check out this facebook page.

These mixes will only be up for a two week interval, so make sure to check them out before they are taken down. Here is the mix that you misses from 3 weeks ago.


Follow DJ Just Jack Here

This 10 track mix will only be half or less then half of the show. First 10 tracks: Mainly an assortment of, but not restricted to Progressive, Electro, and House Music, then directly after this mix there is a mix of 12 tracks that will not be posted and is mainly Tech, Techno, House, and Deep House.

ESSENTIAL TRACK PART 1: CHRIS LAKE

Here is the essential track I have chosen for this weekends show and the mix will be posted directly after this post (SoundCloud Account). Basically, I fell in love with this song the minute it was heard on Pete Tongs; BBC Radio 1 Show, where it had it's debut to the world. Now that it has finally dropped on Chris Lakes Label Rising Records we can all wait for Laidback Lukes remix of Sundown scheduled to release on the 29th of November.

Sunday, November 6, 2011

ESSENTIAL TRACK PART 1: GOODWILL & HOOK N SLING

Hey all, the show was cancelled again last night, but I have been working hard to get you a new mix, which is posted below this one labelled, "Voodoo Chill - Lost On An Elevator Mix". But, since the show has been cancelled. A Fake yet live recording of the show will be dropped some time today. This Track from Goodwill featuring Hook N Sling will be part of the "Essential Mix" coming up in the upcoming weeks. This in my mind is one of the tightest track out right now and has not had that much hype on bloggs and radio play. Also, If your looking for some great progressive house check out the label Nettwerks.
