Since the early 80's and late 90's Dance Mania Records were prominent in the house and acid house scene, in later years they defined the sound of Ghetto house and brought it to the club scene for all to jack to by adding as they say "even lower and dirty 808s and 909s". The label put out dance-floor weapons from Lil Louis to Pierre's Fantasy Club (PF), rhythms from legends like Traxmen, DJ Funk, and Tyree Cooper with many in between.
Bought over in 2005 by DJ Funk the label took a brief hiatus for 15 years with next to no releases bar DJ Funks (#1001). There has been no work from the record label in recent years until now, and to mark and celebrate the return of the renowned label Vin Sol has treated us to a mix of the "Dark Side" of Dance Mania. Featuring old school classics from Tyree, DJ Funk and Houz Mon along with a new track being given away by Vin Sol, his new "Frequency (Factory Style)"which you can download from
here.
With a string of hopeful new releases and a re-pressing of some of the classics, collectors will be having a field day and Dance Mania Records should be gracing the dance-floors once again!
To get hyped up give a listen to the mix below.
