The Foundation: New Post Series

"Frankenbeaze" by Dick DaVinci, Digital Manipulation 

The Foundation.

This is the name of a new post series which has been born here at the Deep North, a sibling of sorts for the other series here at the Deep North.  To keep people informed, here is a short list of each of our current post series, along with a short description of each.

1. Three in Three (3 in 3)

These posts present readers with 3 downloadable (128kbps) tracks which are described in three words.  No more, no less.   Check out the previous Three in Three posts: (001) (002) (003) (004) (005)

2. The Black Crack.

This series was created by our crew member Book, a dreadlocked wax addict who, through this series, shares selections from his own vinyl collection with you, the reader.  Check the first post (001)

3. Who The Fuck Is? 

The title of this series is pretty straight forward.  These posts seek to share tunes and background information from producers who, in our opinion, are extremely underrated given their enourmous talent for producing incredible songs...which very few people know exist. Check it out here: (001) (002)

4. Usually Not Usual. 

Let's not make this as complicated as the name sounds.  These posts feature a number of songs which do not fall within our regular focus on house music, techno and minimal. (001) (002) 

 5. The Foundation.

The fifth post series in the mix will take readers back in time to rediscover artists who - - in our opinion, as always - - played an important part, whether big or small, in building the foundation of house music, techno, minimal and electronic music in general.  While we may feature artists who are widely recognized as legends (DJ Sneak, Theo Parrish, Moodyman, Cajmere, Joey Beltram, Cybotron, Mark Farina, Gene Ferris and Carl Cox, to name a few), we may also include some lesser cited, or remembered, producers such as our first featured artist, Spencer Kincy, aka Gemini - - the super talented producer who seemingly fell off the face of the earth.

Before we get to the first feature of The Foundation, here are some tunes from DJ Sneak, Mark Farina and a hot mix by Cajmere (aka Green Velvet), made exclusively for Chicago's 5 Magazine.
