An homage to "House Nation." Detroit-born, Brooklyn-based Lauren Flax — a gifted artist who has drawn attention through features with Sia and KIM ANN FOXMAN, as well as her commitment to feminism and sexual minority issues — arrives on the Chicago house specialists at 〈CHIWAX〉!! Includes a remix by Lis Sarroca, an up-and-coming modern house talent with releases on 〈Hot Haus Recs〉, 〈Mobilee〉 and 〈Shall Not Fade〉.
Track List
Lauren Flax makes her debut on 〈CHIWAX〉, the 〈RAWAX〉 sublabel working energetically along Chicago lines! A1. Jack The Haus (Sample1) is built on a relentlessly repeating "House" sample, evoking the Chicago classic "House Nation" that Farley "Jackmaster" Funk turned into a huge hit as The Housemaster Boyz. The acid house cut B1. D-Troit (Sample2), with its druggy, glittering synths ringing out eerily, is transformed into retro-futuristic electro breakbeat on B2. D-Troit (Lis Sarroca Remix) (Sample3) — very cool as well. Holding onto jackin' Chicago manners while rendering ghetto sound in a tighter form, this record puts Lauren Flax's sense for functional beauty front and center. Recommended!!
