this is a mix cd by miles maeda who released so many mix cds and tapes (and of course, many records). as the title says, this is the brillian one which tells what the so-called "chicago house" sounds like and where the "chicago house" is going. please listen to the cd anyway.
miles, originally from hawaii, moved to chicago and then san diego, is also a yoga instructor besides the production and dj. years ago, when i lived in the states, he came over to st. louis to play at a party. he stayed at my apartment and i still remember that i heard some slapping sounds (some like slapping his body with towel) inside the shower room while he was taking a shower :) he is a swon friend of mark farina's and derrick carter's. all of them used to work at gramaphone records .
he has come over to japan to play several times. but in tokyo...
数多くのミックスｃｄやテープをリリース（勿論、多数のレコードも）しているマイルス・マエダのミックスｃｄ。タイトル通り、いわゆる「シカゴ・ハウス」というものがどんなものか、そして「シカゴ・ハウス」がどういった方向に向かっているのか、これを聴けば一発で分かるというスグレモノ。とりあえずは聴いてみてください。
マイルスはハワイ～シカゴを経て、現在はサンディエゴでレコードのプロダクションやｄｊの傍ら、ヨガのインストラクターもやっています。随分前、アメリカに住んでいた頃、ｄｊのためにセントルイスに来た際、うちのアパートに泊まったのですが、朝マイルスがシャワーを浴びていると中から「パーン、パーン!!」という激しく叩く音（タオルで体を叩いているような音）が聞こえてきて驚いたのを覚えてます（笑）。デリック・カーターやマーク・ファリーナの盟友。みんな、その昔、グラマフォン・レコーズ で働いていました。
プレイのために、日本に何度か来ているみたいです。でも東京・・・。
