Three classic deep house tracks by Chicago artist Brian Harden made available again in the form of this EP. Tip!!

Since the label’s inception, Sistrum has kept an ear to the future while always keeping its roots firmly planted in the rich musical heritage of early house and techno – raw, real & unfathomably deep. In keeping with this ethos, Sistrum proudly presents a true Chicago original, Mr. Brian Harden. Three classic, late ‘90s cuts are brought together for a new generation of music lovers to enjoy, never before available as a 12” release. Simply, timeless…

Track A – Tour De Chi
The pulsing, 1/8th note chord stabs set the tone for a hypnotic journey into eternity. A stripped down rhythm section marches onward, as subtle changes are brought in and out masterfully. There is no denying it; this groove is a deep, late night mood setter that you never want to end – it just rides and rides. Less is so much more, and Brian proves it here.

Track B1 – The Park
Swirling, luscious pads envelope round, analog bass tones as a steady kick punches through the mix, while a beautiful square wave melody bubbles up to provide that signature Harden groove. This is interstellar love music. Pure sound, pure emotion, pure quality.

Track B2 – 2:00
True future jazz for the heads on this one. Swinging rhythms dance amidst phased and filtered keys from another dimension, instilling movement in all who heed the call. Brian showcases his innate musical talents on 2:00, reminding us that, as fads come and go, the vibrations in a true artist are ever-enduring.
