This is how post-punk-era new wave electro evolved in Chicago from the early to mid-1980s. Hear how the unfinished dance music that was being experimented with and produced day after day in a DIY spirit, back in the dawn of house, got polished, honed, and turned savage and thrilling! At the same time in Chicago, alongside the well-known Trax label, Dance Mania charted its own, even more underground course. With Traxman among its roster, it also stands as a crucial label connecting to today's bass scene and the juke/footwork scene—take another look. This is ghetto house!!! The vinyl edition features 12 carefully chosen cuts from the 24 tracks on the 2CD. And generously, the 2CD comes included as a bonus. Check the tracklist too!!! (Original Japanese text by COMPUMA)
