I Love Vinyl

Our very own resident virtuoso dj and host extraordinaire The Twilite Tone hails from the Windy City. If you've been to an I Love Vinyl party, or listened to one of the mixes , you already know this because he always shouts out his hometown. Turns out he's a part of that city's early house music history too, as this rare track, dug up by Gene Hunt for a new compilation on Rush Hour, proves. If you dig it, there's a lot more Twilite music out there, from production on albums by Hip-Hop artist Common (or Common Sense, as he was known when Tone, himself known as Ynot?, first worked with him), to recent releases as Great Weekend and The Twilite Tone . And lots more to come...

Our man Master Khan (you have to do some creative pronouncing to make that one rhyme) aka The Twilite Tone is back in the spotlight with his Great Weekend project (see previous post ). This time, UK creme de la creme tastemaker Gilles Peterson has picked Great Weekend's "Let's Do It Again (Over and Over)" as the lead track for Volume Six of his Brownswood Bubblers compilation series. Check it out here . For more insight into Great Weekend, check out the artist profile on Gille's site . I Love Vinyl would also like to take this time to congratulate all the other talented artists featured on Bubblers Six, and especially our extended family, Taylor McFerrin , Quadron , MdCL and Kissey Asplund .

Great Weekend's debut release on Wurst Records is now available on vinyl and digital . TimeOut gives it four stars . Release party this Saturday, June 19, at the subMercer.
