A recommended read for all:

LAST NIGHT A DJ SAVED MY LIFE: the history Of the Disc Jockey

By Bill Brewster and Frank Broughton

(It's informative and sheds light on alot I would have otherwise never known ~ Dj Cratebug)

[blkguyjusttryn]

Dont need to read man. Lived it. Music Box, Powerplant, Warehouse...and smaller venues all before the HOTMIX five. Just cheesy they were.

[cratebug]

What, no mention of the "Playground"? hahaha. Ok brother. With all due respect, I wish I had a nickel for everytime I hear someone say they lived it or was "there". It's funny though...cheesy or not, the HM5's playlist consisted of many, if not all the same tracks/songs that were being played at these clubs (Go Bang, Thousand Finger Man, You Can't Fake It, Loose Joints IIAOMF, T. Gardner's Work That Body. etc) At least Farley's sets did. As well as S. Silk's & a million other jocks in the city.

[blkguyjusttryn]

Haha .. no need to prove it to you young'in.

Listen.. lose the hostility.. you might learn something. Inanyevent.. have fun.

[cratebug]

No proof being sought. No hostility either. As I said to you before, respects brother. I was just interested to know where your info came from. That's all. We all know now though thank you. Wish I was as old as you to have gone to some of these things. Born too late I guess. Big ups to you and have a safe NY. :)

Hot mix five were the worst. Rip offs and prosituted house music from the gay clubs

[cratebug]

Whatever your opinion is of WBMX and the djs featured back then, in my opinion it did do one good thing, it exposed the music to all lifestyles and ages....not just one.

[clubfmradio]

@blkherculesdc all opinion based and to be honest, Ron Hardy was no different than dozens of other DJ's out there, your mind just romanticizes about the times.

[clubfmradio]

There was no prostituting of 'house' music, in fact before your Messiah who could produce but couldn't mix to save his life came around at your shrine 'The Warehouse' , the 1st DISCO to be called a DISCO in chicago was at the Ambassador East in 1973 called The Buttery and guess what, there was no talk of a gay rip-off, it was about having a good time. No one cared if you were gay straight or blew goats ok? So take your revisionism and small-mindedness elsewhere

[clubfmradio]

@cratebug to the jealous little whiner... the hot mix 5 were DJ's and not all DJ's in Chicago were gay, in fact, there were many of us who were inspired to be a DJ without ever once knowing your mentality We played music and mixed music, the Hot Mix 5 brought it all to the radio after DAI fell on its face.

@cratebug Hey did you ever listen to the source 88.1 back in the day? I used to stay up and record them on my cassette deck radio. When the mixing would be long i would switch the stations and pause the cassette then let go 88.1 really did a very good of promoting house back then. Any response is greatly appreciated.

[blkguyjusttryn]

It was the club dj's many unknown who never got their due, that made those songs work. We were playing the Issac Hayes "I Can't Turn Around" straight version and adding a bottom track for bass, long before Pandy and Silk and others put it out on 12". Alot of songs just simple not "pressed" (as we called it) for club play. Frankie had his only way of making Stevie's Do I Do a club Must Hear

Nothing personal against the HM5, but alot of their mixes just got to electronc sometimes.
