Greetings people, I'm very happy to hear people talking about these labels.
I will second the recommendations Quintessentials, Sushitech, Uzuri, Third Ear, and all the stuff associated with Qu, Fred-P, Jus Ed, and Levon Vincent (Underground Quality, but also Soul People Music, and Strength Music Recordings)... Smallville and Dial are nice as well. There are also definitely some good things happening with deeper sounds in Chicago, Hakim Murphy, Specter, Chicago Skyway, and Steven Tang definitely come to mind. It is a little weird because Chi is so segregated I only learned that these guys were here making solid music recently! ~David On Thu, Jan 26, 2012 at 11:04 AM, Andrew Green <[email protected]> wrote: > > Aiden, John, > > Funny you sent this today, the same day I received 5 of the Sistrum back > catalogue thru a discogs seller (happy deep days!)
