Description
The 12-inch reissue "It's My Life" features early Chicago acid and Detroit-style techno by The Outthere Brothers, Hula, Grammy-nominated Maurice Joshua, and others.
This 12-inch vinyl was released by Clone Classic Cuts, the label founded by the renowned Dutch label Clone to reissue rare archival recordings.
These important early recordings under the Da Posse moniker feature Hula, a member of The Outthere Brothers, along with Grammy-nominated remixer Maurice Joshua, K Fingers, and Martell.
"Strings" and "Its My Life" blend the Detroit techno sound of Derrick May's "The Dance" with the straight-forward grooves unique to Chicago. They showcase the rare sounds of an era when the line between Chicago house and Detroit techno was blurred.
The bonus track "The Groove" is also included, featuring a thick, powerful bassline that drives this Chicago acid track. This release brings together a collection of masterpieces that shine brightly in the history of club music.

Clone Classic Cuts continues to dig in the crates to bring back forgotten or obscure records from the past! This is 3 tracks by Da Posse (produced by Hula... one of the Outthere Brothers... and with Maurice Joshua, K Fingers & Martell). Strings & Its My Life are Chicago's take on Detroit techno... a rare release that sounds like a early Derrick May record (think 'The Dance') but maybe slightly more straight forward (as one might expect from Chicago). A rare piece in house and techno history since this is one of the rare examples of a record that doesn't show the clear difference between Chicago and Detroit in the late 80's. This record most likely got produced within 1 year after Rhythm = Rhythms legendary Nude Photo and Strings of Life releases (both '87 and this came out in '88). As extra bonus track we have The Groove. A phat bass driven chicago acid track that still rocks it. Another fine piece of powerful dance music history back in the spot light!
