This next instalment comes from pirate radio resident rapper, come pop star, come House and Techno royalty, Mr.C and Chicago based Hip House creator, Tyree Cooper.

Mr.C was one of the first names on the Memory Box wish list. He's a genuine London acid house hero who's been involved with the scene from way back. Front man of The Shamen and co-owner of The End, one of London's best and sorely missed clubs, and co owner of End Recordings, Mr.C has been at the forefront of many evolving underground scenes. His Superfreq nights and label are a great example of what acid house has evolved into.

Mr.C says "The wheels in my memory box are turning and all sorts of musical goodies are flowing, which means I can't wait to bring you the best of 80's and early 90's Acid House, Detroit Techno and other aural delights that sound every bit as good today as they always have. Timeless music that fuelled not only the beginnings of my illustrious career, but also the culture we know and love today."

Memory Box is also proud to be welcoming an artist regarded as one of the most influential in the international house scene, Tyree Cooper. This Chicago based legend, along with his friend and fellow DJ 'Fast Eddie' Smith, is known for creating the crossover breed of house music known in the late 80's as Hip House. In the mid 80's Tyree was releasing tracks with Chicago underground label DJ International including the 1986 classic 'I Fear The Night' ft. Chic, 'Acid Over'(1988), 'Turn Up The Bass' (1988/89),'Let's Get Hyped' (feat. Kool Rock Steady, 1989), 'Let the Music Take Control'(1989) and 'Hardcore Hip House' (1989).

"My Memory Box set will totally be Classic Chicago unreleased House and Disco, with some Detroit House all in the mix". Because music has gone too far away from the root, the essence, the vibe, and we need to have a sense of urgency to bring forth what was once a big part of our culture worldwide. And now we must educate our young "House Heads".
