This week's show features another exclusive mix from the Dig Deep Chicago family - it's house & techno pioneer, DJ and producer Neal Howard (Future Sound Records / Network)!
In 1988 Neal released To Be Or Not To Be on Future Sound records. The 12" included productions from Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson as well as Neal's own output.
In 1990 Neal released Indulge on Network Records to critical acclaim, and some still regard this track as one of their all time top 10 dance classics.
Fast forward to 2007 which saw Joey Negro put out his own edit of Neal's The Gathering track. Whilst Indulge got a timely re-release on Network in 2008.
As well as helping to change the face of dance music forever, Neal remains active on the DJ scene and chicagohouseradio.com featured one of his mixes in 2011.
Since this mix was broadcast Clone Records reissued 'To Be Or Not To Be' in 2017 as part of their Clone Classic Cuts series. The 12" also featured a new mix by Gerd.
Hot on the heels of DJ Izrail, DJ Boogienite The 7inch 45 King and Gene Hunt, Neal's mix is another stunning sampler of the sound of the windy city... Do not miss this exclusive set!
