Suckerpunch EP

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008

1Trax are proud to deliver another deep gem in the form of Johnny Fiasco’s Suckerpunch EP.

Over the past twenty years, Johnny Fiasco has become a legend and recognized as a true pioneer in of Chicago’s house scene. This impressive producer and remixer logs 150k plus frequent-flyer miles a year spinning at clubs and special events globally, from Space Lab Yellow in Tokyo to Subclub in Glasgow, including every major city in US. His remarkable sound can gracefully combine acid, soulful electronic sounds, tech vibes, fundamental house, disco, and pure funk. Fiasco’s beginnings can be found at Chicago’s Shelter with Mark Farina and Derrick Carter, pushing the boundaries by pioneering house music at Smartbar, Crowbar, Lizard Lounge and the infamous Club Naked.

The EP includes the title track Nightcrawler, Turista and Turista (stripped mix) featuring the work of Holger Braunes. Whilst Nightcrawler and Turista are both deep and almost soulful, Turista (stripped) Up carries a more jacking vibe.
