| Feature: Wasted Youth start Chicago’s house revolution Posted: 22 Oct 2008 03:42 PM CDT Everybody knows about Chicago's rich history of house music, but Chi-town has been relatively quiet as of late. All that is set to change, thanks to Wasted Chicago Youth, who are promising no less than a revolution. They aim to "fight crime in the audio community", and despite their comic book superhero approach to the subject of rejuvenating Chicago's house scene, they're taking it damn seriously. Beatportal decided to grab Mazi and Justin Long to discuss the impetus for this new collaboration, how they're starting to unify the Chi-town scene once again, and why house music is like the Yiddish language. |

Dub techno finally died off after the genre failed to evolve due to a lack of innovation. Now though, Basic Channel are set to once again influence the new sound of techno with the news that they will release all of their original 12-inches exclusively on Beatport. |
