DESCRIPTION

One of the hottest compilation series makes a heavy return with Chicago Boogie Volume 4: Comin' At Ya' featuring 4 insanely rare, unobtainable, top-shelf obscurely underground boogie and disco holy grails. We've teamed up with our good friends and fellow Windy City vinyl peddlers Star Creature to release 4 extended versions, restored, remastered and re-engaged for the modern dancefloor, be it club or living room.

After a three-year hiatus, Chicago's Boogie Munster Crew reunites with Star Creature & The Numero Group for the fourth installment in its highly acclaimed signature Chicago Boogie compilation series. Riding the highs of Vol. 2 "This Love Will Last" and Vol. 3 "Set It Out," Vol. 4 "Comin' At Ya'" unearths four more top-shelf rarities of Windy City Funk, officially licensed and sourced directly from the artists right in their own backyards.

As always, these are mega Boogie Grails seeing the official light of day for the first time. Conjoined A/B side flips and slight DJ Friendly Touch Ups, remastered and beefed up for maximum Boogie extension. The A Side starts with an extremely rare, like 0 “Haves” on discogs.com rare from Tiger Jack. “Let’s Bounce” was originally issued on Ajana as one of their only 2 releases, the first being earlier from Central Power System on Numero Group’s The Chicago Party compilation. Tiger Jack remained elusive, both Jack himself and a copy of his record until we stumbled upon a lead and got in touch to stitch together a fully extended mix of this Punk Funk Boogie Bopper. Speaking of Numero Group, The 2nd track of Side 1 comes from an assist from the reissue Gods themselves as they blessed us with this never-sold-on-discogs soulful side of Boogie Slap issued on one-and-done label Magikal. When asked about the track, songwriter CA Williams said they recorded it for a restaurant jingle. Probably the best one we’ve ever heard.

Side 2 starts off with an absolute Modern Soul Monster with Motherfox’s Hot Shot. John Harris came by Star Creature’s South Side of Chicago HQ (which happens to share the same address as Numero) to chop it up and share some stories on Motherfox and his other passion project most deep funkers would known as Carver High. This record has reached insane demand the past few years as its a certified floor filler for all scenes - peak big budget sound packed into a small DIY package, total package. Track 2 delivers the full version of the ever mysterious Pyramid Plus providing the Titular Tune “Comin’ At Ya’” as vocoded talkboxed low slung, spaced out strutter.
