I wanted to quickly correct for the record that when I said B-96 in I meant to say WBMX (for awhile this Chicago station was home to the legendary "Hotmix 5", Farley Jackmaster Funk, etc.).
B-96, while we're at it, used to have decent house music mixes on the radio in the late 80s... Bad Boy Bill, etc. Nowdays has mostly commercial ravey or latin-NRG and mixed dance music shows on weekend nights. Every now and then if it's someone is mixing old and new you will can still hear some italo or Trax classics on the middle of the FM dial.. in a cab ride across town or whatever... But not worth waiting for, the rare payoff is not worth the pain of suffering through the rest of the crrrrrraaap. <scottish accent> peace, Matt MacQueen -----Original Message----- From: Matthew MacQueen Sent: Monday, January 20, 2003 11:01 AM To: 313@hyperreal.org Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: (313) bit of a long shot.. > My Mine - BMG in Italy say they don't own their stuff anymore.. C. Walter Paas is an importer in Chicago who has been importing italo since the 80's when B-96 djs were putting it into their hotmix shows. He owns the Dancia label (killer re-issues!) and I *think* has worked out licencing agreements to some of these kind of tracks including My Mine. If you can find a Dancia record (all mine are at home) there is probably a phone or fax number on it.
