The late Sleezy D, known for "I've Lost Control," the Trax classic that came to symbolize acid and Chicago house. His longtime friend — and the man who actually produced "I've Lost Control" — PHUTURE's Marshall Jefferson, a founding father of acid house, teams with UK house master Steve Mac to present this release under the Sleezy D name.
Track List
Four tracks from Nu Groove’s 2025 catalogue arrive on wax for the very first time, as the legendary NYC label continues to reinstate its cult status. The first two record box staples come from Marshall Jefferson & Steve Mac pres. Sleezy D, while the next two built for the underground come from Juliet Mendoza. Opening the collection, ‘In The Night’ and ‘Wanna Get Down’ see genre titans Marshall Jefferson and Steve Mac unite to showcase the sound of the late Sleezy D, a Chicago pioneer and close friend of Jefferson. The next two originals, ‘Juju Love’ and ‘In The Dark’, are presented by LA native and dance culture expert Juliet Mendoza, whose throwback sonics hold deep reverence for the 90s house scene.
Chicago house fans will be thrilled: Sleezy D + Marshall Jefferson. No details are given about when it was recorded or produced (only that it was from his later years), but the two A-side cuts, with Sleezy D's sleazy spoken vocals finished off by Marshall Jefferson & Steve Mac, are not to be missed.
