City Life: Underground New York

City Life is the series which aims to bring

together the coolest "underground" labels those that are at

the forefront of house music to present a collection of house

ranging from loungey, sophisticated vibes to the

four-to-the-floor main room smashes.

City Life will feature the best from individual

labels and acts that typify the sounds from the cities

from which they hail. Two labels that champion the house sound,

and with over a decades worth of releases to their respective names,

come head-to-head on City Life, Seamless series aimed at

bringing together the coolest "underground" labels from

around the world at the cutting edge of house music.

BPM King Street Sounds was launched in 1993

and along with its sister imprint, Nitegrooves,

continues its exemplary tradition of releasing a veritable

who's who of contemporary dance greats: Masters At Work,

Roger Sanchez, David Morales, DJ Pierre, Kerri Chandler,

Mood II Swing, Blaze, Urban Soul, Danny Tenaglia,

Cevin Fisher, have all helped to make them one of the most

respected labels in their field.

Today their sound covers everything from abstract

Afro-jazz excursions and tech-edged progressive beats,

to soaring diva house and gospel vocals. Across the

Hudson River in New Jersey resides the offices of

Gossip Records whose catch phrase, "have you heard?" is an

equally apt tag for a label that since its inception,

over a decade ago, has given us everything from raw underground

tracks by the likes of Harry "Choo-Choo" Romero and Jose Nunez,

to Infectious lyrics and timeless melodies from

Live Element, Hott 22 and Loleatta Holloway.

The Native New Yorkers (yet another alias for the

production duo of Greg Bahary & Chris Malinchak) mixing up a

frenzy of bombastic beats and tribal rhythms with their s

election that blends new with old and future classics into the melting pot.
