  • Summary

  • TRACK NOTES: Hooj Choon was one of my most influential record labels when I was a young DJ. Hooj Choons was formed by Alex Simons and Red Jerry in 1990 and existed until 2003, releasing 136 singles and a dozen or so album-length compilations.  This mix captures that late-90s, early 2000s’ big room’ sound. The Hooj Choon sound was distinctive for the day – techno, but not gooey, cheesy commercial “techno;” more ethereal than “trance-y;” more “progressive” than ‘house’ of the day. Several of these tracks were staples when I resident at the Underground in Portland or Purgatory in Provincetown.  Sadly though I never owned many of these tracks “back in the day” as they were often hard to find as imports into the USA. Luckily, much of the HC catalog has been released on Bandcamp. Many of the Bandcamp tracks are clearly vinyl rips, though – so expect the occasional pop or hiss.   The title track is “Son Of A Gun” by JX, which was a massive record for me back in the day. (And it was a good excuse to choose some interesting cover art.) Other notable tracks include Gloworm’s “I Lift My Cup,” Sanctuary Of Love by The Source, “Hypnotized” by Oscar G and Stryke, and “The Things That Dreams Are Made Of” by The Human League (a record I wish I had discovered earlier).  I hope you enjoy this mix as much as I did making it. - #DJTimStaney #LifeIsShortDance #WeAreMadeToMove  TRACK LIST: 1.
