Miles Maeda, Ken, Karl Meier, Danny The Wildchild, and Mystic Bill sets from "Direct Drive" Chicago, 1997.





 
     This post features some of the Set's from the second room at the "Direct Drive" rave in Chicago in 1997. This room gave people a break from the harder sound that was in the main room by some of Chicago's finest. There is one set on the tapes that we are not 100 percent sure if it is who we think it is. The tape was marked Kurt Eckes from Drop Bass Network but the set is all house and I don't ever remember him playing House. Chicago's Shelter club resident, DJ Jeff Starlight was also on the bill for the night and that is our best guess to who it might be. All the DJ's had around one hour time slots but with the Datman recording both rooms this night (The main room sets are also on this blog, Check the archive list) some of this room's sets are not complete or didn't get recorded. I'm not going to post Brian G's mix because only 25 minutes of his set got recorded or Track Head Steve's mix because he pushed the mixer in the red through his whole mix and the recording was very distorted in some parts. It's been so long but I believe that Roy Buck did his live P.A. in this room but that didn't get recorded either.

Esp Woody Mcbride live at Smart Bar Chicago, 01-08-10.




 



    This mix comes to us from the Earthworm himself, Minneapolis pioneer DJ ESP Woody McBride.  Woody was kind enough to let us record and post the mix on the blog. This was the first time I've heard Woody live in over 10 years and did he deliver on this night! From what Woody said, This set was all his own music and remixes. Woody is an old friend and it was good seeing all the people that came out to support him.
