The featured mix comes courtesy of Chicago's Terry James, who has been spinning for 25 years, and as he states, "came up under Ron Hardy's Music Box School of Music." Influenced by the great pioneers such as Larry Levan, David Mancuso, Tee Scott, Farley Jackmaster Funk, Hot Mix 5, and Frankie Knuckles, James brings forth disco, funk, classic Chicago house, and has a formidable collection of great tunes with which a number he has turned me on to through performing live or via recorded mixes. I had the honor of spinning with him when he was temporarily stationed here in Boston. I'd like to present a favorite mix of his, "Black Hole", featured on Bring the Heat, which features tracks by Deodato, Cheri, and Ish, to name a few...
